The centerpiece that books events
Clients choose the caterer with the river. One table becomes the reason a wedding, a gala, or a launch picks you over the shortlist — and the thing their guests talk about for a month.
The floating catering table
A hand-built, portable serving table with a real, moving river — wooden boats carry the food past your guests.
The boats do the serving.
Not a buffet, not a conveyor — a river.
The theatre
The show runs itself.
Water, mist and light — on cue
The river genuinely circulates. Mist rolls over the channel on demand; a warm glow washes the fluted base. The performance runs all evening without a single extra member of staff.
It photographs itself
Every phone at the event becomes your marketing. The table is built to be shot up close — grain, steel, ripples and drifting fog — and it has never taken a bad picture.
How it works
Service that flows.
Guests come to the table. No queues, no passed trays.
01The rim
A continuous ledge of solid oiled pine — where plates rest and boats are loaded.
02The river
A closed loop of stainless steel — food-safe, quiet, profiled so nothing splashes. And it really flows.
03The island
A raised stage at the center: a garden, an ice bed, or your product — restyled for every event.
04The boats
Wooden vessels drift the loop carrying bite-sized courses. Sushi first — but the river doesn't mind the menu.
05The move
Modular by design: the table splits into sections, rolls through a standard doorway and fits a delivery van. A two-person crew sets it up — the river travels to the event.
Design & materials
Honest craft.
Traditional carpentry meets food-grade steel — built to be looked at up close, all evening.
-
Solid pine
Top, rim and island in blond pine — cut and joined in our own carpentry shop, oiled food-safe and sealed against moisture.
-
Stainless steel
The river runs in a welded channel of acid-resistant stainless — certified for food contact, drainable, built for years of service.
-
The fluted base
Vertical slats wrap the rounded drum — the signature texture that hides pump, plumbing and cabling.
-
Light & mist
A warm LED wash under the rim; the channel takes dry-ice or ultrasonic mist for the drifting fog.
Each table is carpentry first: cut, joined and oiled by hand in our Polish workshop — then welded, wired, water-tested and signed before it ships.
Who it's for
Built for the people who host.

Differentiation that justifies premium quotes — the table your competitors don't have.

Venues & hotels
A signature guests ask for by name. One in-house spectacle that sells the room with it.

Event agencies
Production value that travels. A launch moment, a brand river, a stage for the product itself.
Launches · trade fairs · press -
Restaurant groups
Chef's-table spectacle, nightly. Sushi, oysters, desserts, drinks — the river doesn't repeat itself.
