1. Relaxed summer atmosphere

Does the word barbecue make your mouth water? Juicy steaks, grilled vegetables and tasty side dishes give you a summery feeling. So a barbecue creates the perfect atmosphere for your summer wedding!
Laurent adds: "A culinary barbecue exudes an informal elegance. Karel Knockaert, the founder and chef of Tjop's, will spoil you with delicious dishes and delight everyone with his culinary show. It's a real attraction that immediately sets the tone for an enjoyable evening. What's more, this way you easily break the ice between guests and they immediately have a starting point for conversation’.

‘The informal atmosphere also makes everyone feel welcome ,’ continues Laurent. ‘Guestsget the full experience and, combined with a refined menu, you get a truly unique event at your wedding."

2. Extraordinary possibilities

A barbecue offers a wide range of menu possibilities. Whether you're a meat, fish or vegetarian lover, there's something for everyone. From grilled salmon with a lemon and dill sauce to juicy prime rib with a creamy mushroom sauce, there's no shortage of options.

‘Add Karel's homemade spice blend and your barbecue will reach a whole new level," explains Laurent. "Refined dishes with authentic flavours can please everyone and will be a hit at your wedding party.

3. Special overall concept

Want to extend the barbecue concept to your entire menu? At Tjop' s, we're creative enough to make your wishes come true and turn it into a real experience.

Laurent: "Karel listens carefully to the location of your wedding party and your preferences. As the bride and groom, you choose from a wide range of formulas, from a walking dinner to a seated dinner. We then get to work putting together the menu and creating the culinary delights that will make your catering dream come true. Karel doesn't just offer a delicious piece of meat or fish. Tasty snacks, fruit and side dishes are also carefully prepared on the barbecue. All in all, an exceptional total experience.
