At your villa, as a guest rather than a host

The best part of hosting a villa party in Bodrum is welcoming the people you love into your own space. The most tiring part is spending that evening in the kitchen. Our villa catering service exists to solve exactly that: we take care of the menu, shopping, cooking, service and clear-down, and you stay at the table with your guests.

Every villa has a different kitchen, terrace and pool area. That is why we talk through the space before the party and visit it if needed. Hob and oven capacity, surfaces suitable for service, shaded areas and how guests will move around all shape our set-up plan.

A menu that matches the occasion

A long dinner facing the sunset, a relaxed poolside lunch or a busy celebration cocktail each call for a different menu. We can set a table of Aegean olive oil dishes, meze made with fresh herbs and the catch of the day. We can extend the menu with a grill station, seafood platters or international options.

For family gatherings with children we include a children's menu, and when your guests have different dietary needs we build vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free plates into the menu from the start. We choose ingredients in season and as locally as possible, and you can taste the difference on the plate.

Popular villa formats

  • Seated dinner: A long table, courses served in sequence and a menu designed to pair with wine.
  • Meze and grill night: Sharing plates and a live grill for a warm, informal table.
  • Poolside cocktail: Canapés, small plates and refreshing drinks served standing.
  • Breakfast and brunch: From a Turkish breakfast spread to light brunch menus for morning gatherings.

Service staff and equipment

Depending on the size of the party we plan a team of waiters, bartenders and kitchen staff. Our team is briefed on the menu and the running order beforehand, so they arrive at the table with the right dish at the right time. We also list and bring whatever the villa lacks, such as crockery, glassware, service equipment, tables and chairs.

After the party

When the evening ends we clear the service area, collect our equipment and leave the kitchen clean. We agree in advance how you would like leftovers to be stored or packed. The next morning you wake up to a good memory, not a pile of dishes.

Holiday rentals and international guests

We also cater for guests who rent a villa for their holiday in Bodrum. We are happy to communicate in English and adapt the menu to international tastes. We are open to working regularly with villa management companies and concierge services.

Across the whole peninsula

From our central kitchen in Dirmil we reach villas in Yalıkavak, Türkbükü, Gündoğan, Göltürkbükü, Torba, Bitez, Gümüşlük and Turgutreis. Share your date, the villa's location and an approximate guest count, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote.
