A selection of our options...
You're not simply inviting people for dinner. You're inviting them to share a special moment.
There are meals you've almost forgotten a week later. And then there are evenings when someone is still telling a story long after dessert has been cleared. When a family member recalls a favourite memory, friends finally get the chance to catch up properly and nobody's in a hurry to leave.
That's what you're hoping for when you organise a party with dinner. The meal isn't a break in the celebration; it's the very reason everyone has come together. A birthday you'd rather celebrate around a table than with a big party. An anniversary worth taking time over. Or a special occasion you want to share with the people who matter most.
At KOMAEN in Oirschot, you can give that occasion a dining experience that suits your plans. With an in-house kitchen, a welcoming dinner café and atmospheric event spaces, you don't have to choose between great food and a setting that feels special.
The occasion Something special to celebrate A milestone, a shared memory or simply the pleasure of bringing everyone together again.
The experience Let dinner take centre stage Not a quick meal before the party begins, but an experience that becomes the highlight of the celebration.
The feeling Time for the people who matter An evening when conversations can run long and you get to enjoy being with your guests too.
One long table or the freedom to mingle? That choice shapes the entire evening.
Before you start thinking about starters and desserts, there's a more important question: how would you like your guests to enjoy the meal together?
Do you imagine everyone seated for a celebratory dinner with several courses? Would you rather share dishes and discover new flavours together? Or would a buffet work better, giving family, friends and colleagues the freedom to move between conversations?
Everyone around the table A relaxed, memorable dining experience Perfect when you want to give the occasion proper attention and enjoy a leisurely meal together.
Discovering dishes together A lively table full of flavours Ideal for groups who love tasting, sharing and enjoying food in an informal atmosphere.
More freedom throughout dinner Everyone enjoys the meal at their own pace A buffet or barbecue creates a relaxed atmosphere and makes it easier for guests to mingle.
Making this choice is often what turns an ordinary group dinner into a celebration that feels as though it was created especially for your guests.
Celebrate your way: four dining styles, four different atmospheres
A special dinner doesn't always have to be formal. Sometimes a carefully planned menu makes the occasion memorable. Other times, the best atmosphere comes from sharing dishes or choosing your own favourites.
For those who love a proper dinner A three-course set-menu dinner
A meal with several courses gives the evening a natural rhythm. Everyone sits down together, takes time to enjoy the food and settles into the conversation.
A lovely choice for an anniversary, a celebratory family dinner or an occasion when spending quality time together matters more than a packed programme.
For those who love sharing flavours Shared dining
Shared dining is all about enjoying dishes together. It naturally creates a lively table where everyone talks about the food, passes plates around and discovers new favourites.
Ideal when you're looking for a memorable meal without the formal atmosphere of a traditional dinner.
For a larger gathering A generous buffet
A buffet offers a variety of flavours and a relaxed approach to dining. Guests can choose their own dishes before returning to a conversation or joining another group.
At KOMAEN, buffets and tasting-style dinners are available for groups of at least 25 people. The exact selection depends on your chosen arrangement and preferences.
For a relaxed, generous celebration A delicious barbecue
A barbecue is a wonderful choice when you want the evening to feel informal and welcoming. With meat, fish and vegetarian options, your guests can enjoy a variety of flavours.
And it doesn't even have to be summer. At KOMAEN, you can enjoy an indoor barbecue with your guests too. Barbecues are available for groups of at least 15 people.
Which dining option suits your group size? Barbecues are available from 15 people, while buffets and tasting-style dinners require at least 25 guests. For smaller groups, options such as a three-course set-menu dinner or shared dining can be discussed. Include your expected guest numbers when making an enquiry.
The food makes an impression. The people around the table make the memories.
A great dinner isn't only about what the kitchen serves. The table is also where old stories return, new memories begin and a special occasion takes on real meaning.
A place for everyone
At a family dinner, you want guests of different generations to feel comfortable. With friends, you want conversation and laughter to come naturally.
An evening without rushing
A relaxed pace gives guests time to enjoy the food without constantly watching the clock or waiting for the next activity.
Room for something personal
A toast, a few heartfelt words or a favourite memory can give the occasion exactly the attention it deserves.
So there's no need to fill every moment with entertainment. A welcoming table setting, delicious food and one meaningful shared moment may be all it takes.
A special dinner for eight guests calls for something different from a dinner party for eighty
With a small group, the focus is usually on catching up properly. A comfortable table, welcoming atmosphere and the chance to talk to everyone matter most.
With a larger dinner party, other questions come into play. How can guests from different groups feel included? Where will the meal be served? And would you prefer everyone to remain seated or have the freedom to move around?
A smaller table A personal celebration at the dinner café
For a smaller gathering, a reservation at the dinner café may be ideal. KOMAEN offers à-la-carte dining for up to 15 people, with special group dining options for larger parties. If you're planning an intimate celebration, take a look at the dinner café and its menu for inspiration.
A larger dinner party A space that brings everyone together
Expecting a larger number of guests for a family celebration or anniversary? It's worth choosing a room and dining arrangement that suit the group. A sit-down dinner and a buffet each call for a different setup.
KOMAEN has several event spaces for groups of approximately 20 to 400 people. The number of guests who can be accommodated for dinner depends on the chosen room, table layout and dining arrangement. Dinner capacity is therefore discussed for each enquiry.
Not everyone wants a big party. Sometimes, you simply want the right people around the table.
There are plenty of reasons to celebrate. But not every special occasion needs a dance floor or an evening full of entertainment. A party with dinner puts the focus on the people and stories behind the occasion.
A family celebration A table that brings generations together From a birthday to a family milestone, sharing a meal gives everyone a chance to feel part of the celebration.
An anniversary Take time to celebrate what you've shared A personal toast, a delicious dinner and plenty of opportunities to revisit favourite memories.
A special achievement Celebrate success with the whole team No work agenda or meetings, just a chance to show appreciation and enjoy an evening together.
Even without a particular occasion, a group dinner can feel like a celebration. Sometimes the best reason to get together is simply that everyone is finally available.
Start with a toast and finish with: "Shall we stay a little longer?"
A party with dinner doesn't need to follow a rigid schedule. But the order in which you welcome guests, enjoy the meal and bring the evening to a close can make a real difference to the atmosphere.
Before the first course A relaxed welcome Guests arrive, greet each other and begin with a drink. Everyone has time to settle in before dinner.
At the table Give dinner the attention it deserves Fewer interruptions and more room for the food, conversation and perhaps a short personal moment.
After dessert The evening doesn't have to end immediately A final drink or some leisurely conversation can round off the celebration, depending on your arrangements.
Planning a speech, a surprise or a special toast? Choose a suitable moment and discuss the timing beforehand. That way, it gets the attention it deserves without interrupting the flow of dinner.
You don't need a packed programme to make dinner memorable
A dinner party becomes special through personal choices, not because something has to happen every half hour. Just a few thoughtful details can show your guests how much care has gone into the occasion.
A lovely beginning Open with a personal toast Share a few words about why everyone is together and raise a glass to the special occasion.
A shared memory Let one story take centre stage An old photograph, a short anecdote or a family member's memory can give the evening a character of its own.
A warm ending Thank the people around the table Sometimes a simple word of appreciation is the loveliest way to finish a special evening.
Would you like to add decorations, a personal surprise or something else? Discuss what's possible in your chosen space beforehand. That keeps the celebration both personal and practical.
Two dinner parties that are equally special but feel completely different
The atmosphere you're looking for shapes the way you plan dinner. A celebratory sit-down meal has a different rhythm from an informal buffet where guests can easily move around and talk. These sample programmes offer a little inspiration.
Example 1 · Relaxed and personal A memorable anniversary dinner
18:00–18:30 Welcome guests with a drink.
18:30–18:45 Share a short personal toast before everyone sits down.
18:45–21:00 Enjoy a celebratory three-course dinner with plenty of time for conversation.
21:00–22:00 Finish with relaxed drinks, according to the arrangements made.
Example 2 · Relaxed and full of flavour A celebration with a generous buffet
18:30–19:00 Gather everyone together and start the evening with a drink.
19:00–20:30 Enjoy a buffet together, available for groups of at least 25 people.
20:30–20:45 Share a toast or a special moment to mark the occasion.
20:45–22:30 Continue the conversations and enjoy a relaxed end to the evening.
For inspiration: these are sample programmes rather than fixed packages. Actual timings, dinner duration, room arrangements and catering are agreed in advance, subject to availability.
Organise a dinner party without spending the whole evening playing host and waiter
Hosting a dinner party at home sounds lovely. Until you're in the kitchen between courses, someone needs another drink and you miss the very conversation you were looking forward to. Yet the whole reason for organising the evening was to spend time together.
At KOMAEN, you can discuss the dining arrangements and how the evening will unfold beforehand. These decisions will help keep your planning straightforward.
1. Confirm your guest numbers
The number of guests helps determine which dining options and spaces are suitable. Remember the minimum group sizes for buffets and barbecues.
2. Decide how you'd like dinner to feel
A sit-down meal feels different from shared dining or a buffet. Choose the experience first, then explore the details.
3. Agree on a budget
An approximate amount per person makes it easier to decide on dinner, drinks and any additional requests.
4. Ask about dietary requirements in good time
Check for allergies, vegetarian preferences and other dietary needs. KOMAEN can explain in advance which adjustments may be possible.
5. Think about what happens after dinner
Would you like to finish with coffee or stay a little longer for drinks? Discuss your preferred finishing time and the available options beforehand.
With this information, KOMAEN can help you explore suitable arrangements. A dinner party doesn't have to be complicated to feel special.
Want to stay a little longer after dessert? Turn dinner into a complete celebration.
Dinner can be the highlight of the evening without having to be the end of it. Perhaps your guests would love to stay and catch up. Or maybe you're organising a larger celebration where the meal is followed by something more festive.
Alongside the dinner café, KOMAEN has several event spaces for group gatherings. For a celebration with more guests, it's worth considering not only the menu but also the setting you'd like for the entire evening.
If you're hoping to follow dinner with drinks or an evening with music, you can discuss the available party rooms and suitable layouts with KOMAEN. That way, the space can be chosen for the full programme rather than just the meal.
