Ursule & Petula is a Belgian event caterer based in Namur, active since 2007 and now focused entirely on events. The company serves private and professional clients for cocktails, walking dinners, seated dinners, seminars, weddings, and take-away buffets, with menus built around seasonal products, local sourcing, and the client’s preferred style of service. The business positions itself as a flexible, warm, and detail-oriented partner for celebrations and corporate gatherings. Its tone is informal and generous, but the offer is structured and professional: the team adapts to event constraints, guest counts, and dietary preferences while aiming to deliver a smooth, memorable experience. Key Offerings Cocktail receptions : Miniature savory bites and drink-led formats for launches, anniversaries, openings, vernissages, and other social or corporate events. The service is designed for at least 50 guests and typically runs over two hours. Walking dinners : A mobile, convivial format built around small plates served over a two-hour service, with a focus on movement, flexibility, and varied flavor combinations. Vegan and vegetarian approaches are available. Seated dinners : Tailor-made menus for plated dinners, shared service, or buffet-style meals, with seasonal menus adapted to the event and guest preferences. The package includes three hours of service and the necessary service equipment. Seminar catering : Full-day catering for business seminars, combining coffee breaks, snacks, and balanced lunches. The offer is positioned as professional, discreet, and supportive of productive discussions. Weddings : Custom wedding catering built around the couple’s wishes, seasonal ingredients, and a smooth service flow. The company emphasizes flexibility, discretion, and a menu that reflects the event’s atmosphere. Take-away buffets : Cold, hot-and-cold, and walking-dinner-style buffet formulas for larger groups, with delivery possible. The offer is designed for convivial at-home or off-site celebrations. Core Values Seasonality and local sourcing : Menus are built from fresh, seasonal ingredients and products from local farmers and artisans. The company highlights short supply chains and close relationships with producers. Homemade cooking : The food is described as 100% homemade, prepared with care and respect for the ingredients. This supports a cuisine that is authentic, generous, and consistent across formats. Hospitality and teamwork : The company stresses a family-like, joyful team spirit based on trust, respect, mutual support, and attentive service. That internal cohesion is presented as a key part of the guest experience. Environmental responsibility : Ursule & Petula says it uses recyclable and compostable packaging, sorts waste carefully, groups deliveries, and favors short supply chains to reduce its footprint. Flexibility and personalization : Across all services, the team adapts to constraints, tastes, and event formats. The offer is built to be customized rather than standardized. Unique Aspects Event-only focus since 2022 : After operating a Namur counter-traiteur, the company shifted to 100% event catering in 2022, sharpening its specialization in private and corporate occasions. Long-running local history : The business traces its origins to 2007, giving it a long track record in the Namur area and a gradual evolution from catering counter to event specialist. Chef-led, couple-run structure : The company presents itself as a duo, with Mathilde driving the creative cuisine and Joachim overseeing execution and logistics. That balance of creativity and precision is part of its identity. Seasonal pop-up experience : The company has also created ephemeral restaurant concepts such as “Un été à la Carrière” and “Le Petit Camion dans la Prairie,” showing an ability to stage temporary dining experiences beyond standard catering. Scalable event capacity : The site highlights a first major event of 400 covers in 2023, indicating the ability to handle larger-scale service while maintaining a bespoke approach.
