CATERING FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS LUNCH IN COPENHAGEN

December brings people together. We take care of the food: handmade smørrebrød from scratch, organic ingredients whenever possible, and a heartfelt respect for tradition – with a little twist. Whether you’re planning an intimate office Christmas lunch or a standing reception, we can create a menu that tastes of Copenhagen and winter coziness.

Why choose Rørt for your Christmas event?

Thoughtfully sourced ingredients • Classic with a twist • Flexible • Sustainably made

With us, a great Christmas lunch begins with craftsmanship and care: we build our smørrebrød on freshly toasted sourdough rye bread from our own bakery and select organic meat, fish from small coastal fishermen, and vegetables from local growers — all to ensure both flavour and responsibility. We respect tradition, but we also play with the classics; familiar Christmas flavours are given a subtle twist through ferments, pickled elements, and aromatic herbs that elevate the whole experience. Our catering solution in Copenhagen is flexible and tailored to your Christmas lunch — whether you prefer delivery or pickup by arrangement. With a focus on seasonality, food waste reduction, and reuse in both setup and packaging, we work deliberately to make your Christmas meal both delicious and easy on the conscience.

This is what a winter-friendly menu might look like

We work seasonally and adapt to the ingredients available. Here are examples of our current style and craftsmanship, which we carry into December. The selection below reflects our summer approach – in winter, we focus on depth, warmth, and crispness in new combinations.

For the Christmas season, we recommend warmer flavors, pickling, and crisp textures, so that smørrebrød for your gathering feels both familiar and fresh.

Smørrebrød on the Christmas table

Smørrebrød for your Christmas table is both familiar and festive. We serve pieces that can be enjoyed seated or standing, so the flow continues without interruption. For standing events, we recommend our small Rørt Bites: miniature versions served in homemade rugletters (small tartlets made from the ends of rye bread to reduce food waste). Perfect for receptions and Friday celebrations in December.

Should the smørrebrød at your Christmas party be more classic, more plant-based – or a bit of both? We’re happy to advise on the right balance between creamy, crispy, and tangy.

How we put together your Christmas table

Quantity per person: For a lunch, 3–4 pieces are often sufficient. For standing receptions, 5–6 Bites per guest is a good starting point.
Balance: Alternate between creamy, tangy, crispy, and umami. A marinated note or a pickled vegetable lifts the whole experience.
Variation: Include fish, greens, and possibly poultry – we’ll find the right balance for your guests.

We’re happy to help with Christmas catering in Copenhagen, ensuring a cohesive experience: smørrebrød on the Christmas table, small bites for the welcome, and a dessert that rounds things off without feeling heavy. Catering in the capital for holiday gatherings should be easy to enjoy – and still full of craftsmanship.

Takeaway and delivery in the city

A Copenhagen Christmas lunch as takeaway makes logistics simple. We offer out-of-house catering for Christmas parties in Copenhagen – either for pick-up from our kitchen or delivery by arrangement. If you prefer a Christmas takeaway menu in Copenhagen, we pack it so it’s easy to place directly on the table.

Presentation: On platters or in boxes, making serving quick and easy.
Vegetarian/vegan: We create plant-based alternatives without compromising on richness or flavor.

Planning a company event? Copenhagen: catering for this year’s Christmas party can be combined with Rørt Bites for the reception and smørrebrød on the plate. This ensures a smooth flow and a good rhythm throughout the afternoon.

Practical: Order in advance

To secure ingredients and kitchen capacity, we recommend placing your order as early as possible in November–December. Let us know the number of guests, time, address, and any special requests (e.g. alcohol-free, more plant-based, less pork). We’ll quickly get back with a tailored proposal. Copenhagen: catering for the December lunch can of course be adjusted if more guests are added.

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
