CATERING FOR YOUR CHRISTENING IN COPENHAGEN

A christening brings family and friends together around the table. We make sure the food feels just as heartfelt as the occasion. At Rørt, we craft handmade smørrebrød with a green conscience and a curious twist – using organic ingredients whenever possible, working closely with local growers and fishermen, and serving it all on our freshly toasted sourdough rye bread. You’ll get a menu that’s easy to serve, beautiful on the table and full of seasonal flavour – so you can focus on your guests.

Why choose Rørt for your christening celebration?

From scratch • Seasonal & organic • For every taste • Local to Copenhagen

We make everything from scratch in our own kitchen — mixing, baking, pickling, and assembling without artificial additives, so the flavours remain clean and honest. Our ingredients are carefully selected with a focus on seasonality, organic produce, and producers from Denmark and Northern Europe, where vegetables often take centre stage. Our smørrebrød and Rørt Bites are easy to serve in both small and large settings — from church halls and living rooms to courtyards — and the menu offers a balanced selection of plant-based, fish, and classic options, with the possibility to accommodate allergies and special requests. You can collect your order in Torvehallerne or Frederiksberg, and delivery in Copenhagen and surrounding areas can be arranged.

Menu inspiration for a christening

All pieces are designed so you can mix classics with small surprises – making it easy to please both the familiar and the curious taste around the table.

Our menu changes with the seasons – always fresh, always in tune with nature. Here’s a taste of summer.

Rørt Bites – Small Mouthfuls for a Standing Reception

Want to keep it light and social after the ceremony? Choose “Rørt Bites”: miniature smørrebrød served in our homemade rugletter. Easy to enjoy standing up, they need fewer plates and let guests taste several combinations without getting too full.

Perfect for a reception at the church hall, at home or in the courtyard.
Available as a mix of plant-based, fish and meat – so both grandpa and little brother find a favourite.
We’ll advise on quantities based on timing and duration, so there’s enough without food waste.

Practicalities – Ordering, Delivery and Serving

Ordering: Tell us your date, approximate number of guests and setting (standing reception or seated lunch). We’ll quickly return with a tailored suggestion.
Pickup / Delivery: Pick up at Torvehallerne or Frederiksberg. Delivery in Copenhagen and surrounding areas can be arranged – we’ll find a plan that fits your schedule around the ceremony.
Serving: Food is delivered ready to serve. Use your own platters or borrow our simple, reusable trays – we’re happy to guide you on buffet presentation.
Allergies and preferences: Please share any allergies (nuts, gluten, lactose, etc.). We can prepare child-friendly versions, pork-free menus, fully plant-based options – or a thoughtful mix.
Green mindset: We prioritise organic ingredients and work with small local producers. We’re also continuously improving our packaging and food-waste solutions.

Example of a balanced christening menu

For a simple, well-rounded table, we suggest mixing across the categories:

Two green favourites: Ingrid in Summer and One Lucky Potato
Two from the sea: Shrimp and Laksilicious
One creamy classic: Egg x Truffle or Hønsemor
Serve as Bites for mingling – or as full pieces for a calm, seated lunch.

Tell us how many children and adults you’ll be, and how long the event lasts. We’ll adjust portions and flow so everything fits naturally into your celebration.

Flavour and season – with peace of mind

We prepare everything to be served straight to the table: crispy rye, creamy emulsions, fresh herbs and small seasonal surprises. In spring, we bring in asparagus and dill. In late summer, tomatoes, peas and herbs take over. We always share what’s in season at the time of your order – so the menu matches both the day and the weather.

Whether you’re planning an intimate reception or a larger lunch, we’ll help you create a menu that brings generations together. Write to us with your date, location and approximate number of guests – we’ll send back a no-obligation proposal with pricing, portions and delivery options.

Take a breather – we’ll handle flavour, season and smooth logistics, so you can enjoy the day.

Our guests loves us

A warm recommendation of Rørt. I have eaten there many times, and the food never disappoints – it simply tastes great.

Really nice open-faced sandwich café. Will come again. Lovely service, really good beer.

Visited Rørt for the first time. It was a thoroughly great experience. I’m a big fan of open-faced sandwiches, and here all the taste senses were both satisfied and challenged. Super delicious!

Maybe the best open-faced sandwich I’ve ever tasted. And it’s not even expensive. Highly recommended.

Excellent open-faced sandwiches at the covered market, with a youthful and informal atmosphere. Ingredients of good quality, interesting combinations. Prices correspond to the quality offered

Excellent smørrebrød in a covered market setting, with a youthful, relaxed atmosphere. High-quality ingredients and creative combinations. Prices are in line with the quality offered.
