Kemp gastronomy

What Kemp gastronomy does

Kemper Gastronomie is a privately held French catering and event-management company, structured as an EURL and headquartered in Quimper, Finistère, Brittany. Founded in 1988, the company has been commercially led by Dominique Le Borgne since 2005, with operational ownership transitioning to Hélène in 2023 following Pascal's retirement. It serves a three-segment customer base consisting of private weddings, family celebrations, and corporate events, with culinary leadership drawn from École Ducasse-trained and Michelin-starred chefs.

The company operates a custom, quote-based pricing model tailored to each event, supplemented by a lower-ticket digital channel offering gift cards starting at €40. Its core product is full-service catering — kitchen production, on-site service, and event coordination — supported by a local sourcing network affiliated with Produit en Bretagne. In 2021, the company launched an updated website enabling online quote requests, and in 2025 it introduced Les Moments Gourmands®, a registered sub-brand extending the business into individual meal trays and corporate lunch delivery.

Kemper Gastronomie also operates a related entity, Escapades Gourmande, located in Lorient, marking its first step beyond the Quimper home market. The business remains regional in scale, with headcount in the 11–50 employee band, and pursues community-engagement partnerships such as those with Les Restos du Cœur and Les Terrasses de Bothané to reinforce local brand positioning. No public revenue disclosure, external funding, or technology-platform layer is indicated in the available evidence.
