EIRIK OG PEDRO AS

What EIRIK OG PEDRO AS does

Eirik & Pedro AS is a Norwegian private limited company (founded 2013 in Oslo) operating a full-service event catering business serving private celebrations (weddings, birthdays, baptisms, confirmations), corporate events, TV productions, and adventure expeditions across Norway. The company runs a single production kitchen at Gårdsveien 6 in Oslo co-located with the Grorud Samfunnshus venue, and deploys mobile catering teams to more than 50 Norwegian cities — including extreme locations such as Treriksrøysa. The current team of approximately 6 staff is led by co-founders Eirik Gran Martinsen (Kjøkkensjef/Head Chef, trained in continental French cuisine with Basque and Asian influences) and Pedro Barrera (Daglig leder/Managing Director).

The product portfolio comprises three revenue streams: one-time event catering (menus from 189 NOK per dinner portion up to custom packages), hourly staffing services (waiters at 685 NOK/hour, chefs at 3,500 NOK flat), and equipment rental (tablecloths, cutlery, china). Pricing is published in Norwegian Kroner, menu-based, and customizable per event for dietary requirements. Distribution is entirely direct — customers contact Managing Director Pedro directly, with discovery driven by Instagram and word-of-mouth rather than paid acquisition. The company has served over 40,000 portions across 13 years, with marquee credentials including a 27-season catering relationship with Nordisk Film's "71 grader nord" and a 6-month Netflix "Harry Hole" assignment.

Eirik & Pedro has no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML systems, no external funding, and operates on a founder-owned basis. The company announced in 2025 that it will permanently wind down operations, with normal service through May 31, 2026, contract-only fulfillment in June, and final closure on June 30, 2026. The founders intend to continue developing "Eselsausen," a filed-pending proprietary sauce recipe, as a separate post-closure commercialization effort.

Broad incumbents

• Thon Hotel: Largest Norwegian domestic hotel group with significant event, conference, and banquet catering operations across Norway. Comparable to Eirik & Pedro in serving corporate events, weddings, and large-scale private functions, but at much greater scale and as part of a hotel-led portfolio.
• Compass Group: World's largest contract foodservice company, operating across the Nordics including Norway. Comparable in providing event catering and contract food services to corporate clients, but as part of a global multi-segment portfolio rather than a single-market specialist.
• Sodexo: Global food services and facilities management major with substantial Norwegian operations. Comparable in contract-based food service and event catering, but at vastly greater scale and with broader institutional client base.
• ISS A/S: Danish-headquartered global facility services provider with a significant food services division in the Nordics. Comparable in large-scale contract catering and event hospitality services, but bundled within a broader integrated facility management offering.
• Scandic Hotels: Largest Nordic hotel operator with extensive meeting and event catering across the region. Comparable in serving corporate events, conferences, and private celebrations in Norway, but offers this as part of a broader accommodation-led hospitality platform.

Emerging players

• Maaemo: Three-Michelin-star Oslo restaurant with a high-end culinary reputation that occasionally extends to bespoke private dining and event experiences. Comparable in culinary ambition and brand prestige within the Norwegian premium food scene, though its core model is restaurant-based rather than off-premise catering.

Others

• Mathallen Oslo: Oslo's flagship artisan food hall hosting food events, tastings, and pop-ups. Related ecosystem player in Norwegian premium food culture; connects to Eirik & Pedro through shared customer base interested in quality food experiences, but operates a venue model rather than catering.
