Homemade, convivial cooking

Pastel designs a seamless, personalised offering for you, from the first appetiser to the sweet treats at the end.

We put your menu together with you, based on your preferences, your expectations and seasonal produce. From there, we share our culinary ideas to create an event that truly reflects you.

Our entirely homemade cooking celebrates bold, honest flavours and showcases the richness of our Périgord terroir.

Our recipes also take specific diets into account, and we offer dishes just for children.

Frequently asked questions

What is your minimum number of guests, and which formats do you offer?

We cater private receptions from 10 guests. Whether it’s a rustic brazier barbecue, a large family buffet, a relaxed brunch the day after your wedding or a cocktail dinner, everything can be fully tailored to your wishes.

We adapt our logistics to the format you choose and the layout of your venue. We can deliver and set up cold buffets, or cook directly on site, particularly for our live plancha and carving stations, to guarantee the best freshness.

We cover the whole of Dordogne (Périgueux, Sarlat, Brantôme, Bergerac, etc.), and well beyond depending on your project: Charente, Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. We go wherever the Pastel experience is wanted.
Travel is free within 15 km of Périgueux. Beyond that, travel costs are quoted based on distance and your event.

Absolutely. At Pastel, personalisation is at the heart of what we do. We design your menu around your preferences, the theme of your party and the seasons.

Yes, we cater private events on weekdays and at weekends. After our first conversation, we take the time to put together a tailored proposal and send you menu ideas and a detailed quote as quickly as possible, usually within a few days.
