Our Story: A Quarter-Century of Culinary Excellence and Innovation

News Catering is more than just a catering company; we are architects of atmosphere, curators of taste, and partners in celebration. Born from a passion for exceptional food and flawless service, our journey began in the late 1990s when a group of culinary enthusiasts recognized the need for a truly comprehensive catering service in the Helsinki region. Since officially adopting the News Catering name in 1995, we have grown from a small, ambitious startup into one of the most respected and reliable names in the Finnish event industry. Our foundation is built on a simple yet powerful mission: "Ready to cater you!" This is not just a slogan; it is the promise that drives every member of our team. It signifies our unwavering commitment to taking care of every detail, allowing our clients to immerse themselves fully in their own events, confident that the culinary and service aspects are in the most capable hands.

This state-of-the-art facility spans over 2,000 square meters and is equipped with the latest culinary technology, from precision cooking equipment to advanced refrigeration systems. It is here that our talented chefs transform the finest seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients into culinary masterpieces. We work closely with local farmers, fishermen, and artisanal producers to ensure that our ingredients are not only of the highest quality but also support the local economy and reduce our environmental footprint. Our logistical prowess is second to none. With a dedicated fleet of refrigerated trucks and vans, we ensure that every dish, whether served in a modern downtown boardroom, a historic villa on the coast, or a scenic island in the archipelago, arrives with its quality, freshness, and integrity perfectly preserved.

This dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed.
