What Portobello Catering Service does

Portobello Catering-Service & Eventgastronomie is a private, founder-owned catering and event gastronomy company headquartered in Günzburg, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 2012 by Gurdev Daniel Singh, who had previously taken over the family restaurant business in 2011, the company provides full-service catering and event organization for weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, and institutional clients, along with a brick-and-mortar restaurant sub-brand, Soul Food, launched in 2020. Core service offerings include Hochzeit-Catering (wedding catering with menu planning, equipment rental, service personnel, and entertainment coordination), Betriebs & Care Catering (recurring corporate, school, and kindergarten meal supply), Business-Catering & Eventgastronomie (corporate events, trade shows, roadshows), Food Truck Event-Catering (mobile catering for 30 to 1,000 guests), Barbecue-Catering, and Fingerfood-Catering. The business reports 400+ events per year, including 100+ full-service weddings, and operates as the exclusive caterer at Forum am Hofgarten in Günzburg (capacity up to 1,500 guests) and Zehntstadel in Leipheim, with a preferred arrangement at Remonte Depot & Magical Homes in Heroldstatt, alongside a broader network of 18+ partner venues across Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Identified enterprise clients include the Zott company cafeteria and other regional corporate accounts. Portobello is structured as a sole proprietorship with 11–50 employees, generating revenue through one-time event contracts, recurring corporate cafeteria supply, and restaurant operations, with quote-based pricing on all event services; the business is bootstrapped with no external funding and operates without proprietary technology, relying on a service-led, direct-to-customer sales model backed by downloadable PDF catalogs and venue-driven referrals.

Direct peers

• Stockheim Catering: Cologne-based full-service event caterer offering food, equipment, service personnel and event organization for corporate and private events. Directly comparable in product scope, though serving a different German region.
• Kofler & Kompanie: German premium event caterer focused on full-service event gastronomy for corporate and private events. Directly comparable as a DACH-region high-end caterer with a similar full-service offering (food, equipment, staff, event coordination).
• Bergmann Eventcatering: Germany-based event caterer serving corporate functions, weddings, and private celebrations with full-service offerings. Comparable to Portobello in service breadth (food, equipment, staff) and DACH target market.
• Falk Catering: German regional event caterer with a wedding and corporate-event focus and full-service model. Comparable as a competitor in the same fragmented DACH wedding/corporate catering market.
• Hiltl Catering: Zurich-based premium caterer with full-service event offerings including weddings, corporate events, and equipment/personnel rental. Comparable as a regional premium full-service caterer, but operating in Switzerland rather than Germany.

Broad incumbents

• DO & CO: Austria-headquartered premium event catering and hospitality group operating airline catering, event catering, restaurants, and hotels. Comparable as a high-end, multi-segment event caterer, though at global scale and with an aviation-anchored revenue mix.
• Marché International (Mövenpick Restaurants): Swiss-headquartered restaurant and event catering group operating premium venues and food service at travel/event locations. Comparable as a broad incumbent in premium event gastronomy, though with a heavier hospitality/retail footprint.
• Lufthansa Seeheim / LSG Group: Lufthansa-owned global in-flight and event caterer with hospitality and event gastronomy operations in Germany. Comparable only at the broad-incumbent level — overlapping in event catering but anchored in aviation catering.

Emerging players

• Eventwerk Catering: Smaller-scale German event caterer targeting weddings and corporate events with flexible, customized menus. Comparable as a niche / emerging competitor in the same DACH wedding-catering segment, but at smaller scale and without venue exclusivity.

Regional players

• Party Service Group: German event and party service provider offering catering, equipment rental, and event staffing. Comparable in service mix (food + equipment + staff) but with stronger equipment-rental focus than Portobello.
