What Striethouldt catering does

Striethouldt Catering (legal entity Striethouldt B.V., registered KvK 94504806, BTW 866801698B01) is a Dutch family-owned event caterer headquartered in Westerbork, Drenthe, founded in 1992 by Lorenz Striethouldt and formally co-run since 1998/2004 with his wife Mariëlle van Ginkel. The firm operates a mobile catering infrastructure built around proprietary physical assets including the StrietSmoker, StrietFoodWagon and StrietBar, supported by snack wagons, food trucks and mobile kitchens that can be deployed to any location, including unusual sites such as on water or abroad. It sells seven distinct service lines — Party Catering (100+ guests), Event/Festival Catering, Strietfood (on-location food festival), Strietfeest (full party organisation), VIP Catering, Artist & Crew Catering, and Beurs/Trade Show Catering — covering everything from concept development and food production through staffing, equipment rental, styling, entertainment coordination and event logistics.

The business model is professional services delivered on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis: customers contact the firm by phone, email or website form to request bespoke quotations, with pricing varying by guest count, menu, location and service scope. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, relying on direct consultations, customer testimonials and word-of-mouth referrals; the website (cateringuitdrenthe.nl) and Facebook page serve primarily as lead-generation assets. Revenue is generated from event catering fees, mobile food service and equipment rental, with documented capability to serve events ranging from private parties to 2,000+ person occasions, including high-profile corporate, government and music-industry clients. Customer segments span private celebrations, corporate events, festivals, public events, artist/crew hospitality, exhibitions, and VIP occasions; the firm augments a small fixed staff of approximately 7 with freelance zzp'ers and a curated network of food truck partners to scale delivery capacity without commensurate headcount expansion.
