Caterers

Your food stand at Buskers Bern

As with the choice of artists by the artistic directors, the Buskers Bern catering team takes into account food providers or caterers who have their own idea, offer something special and also want to present it. This can be particularly unusual or particularly simple. Our quality standards are high in terms of content, gastronomy and aesthetics.
