Maison Bastien

A family caterer west of Lyon

Maison Bastien caters for weddings and private celebrations in Lozanne, western Lyon and the southern Beaujolais. Its cuisine uses fresh, seasonal produce and is developed around the organisers’ preferences and budget. The business offers catering at the reception venue, with or without serving staff, as well as takeaway orders.

Cocktail receptions, dinner and the following day

A menu can combine a drinks reception, a plated or buffet meal and brunch. The cooking brings together French traditions and seasonal creations. A tasting meal to take home may be offered before the final selection. Formats and menus should be specified for each part of the reception, particularly when cocktail guest numbers differ from dinner numbers.

Capacity and special menus

The wedding service is advertised for 50 to 400 people, with indicative prices of €50 to €95 per guest. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal adaptations are mentioned: ingredients, preparation and any required certifications must be confirmed for each request. Allergies and children’s meals should be communicated before the menu is approved.

Staff, drinks and wedding cake

Serving staff, tableware, equipment and artisan bread may be included in the proposal, depending on the package. Drink arrangements must be clarified, including when a package option is offered. An outside cake may be accepted, with an advertised service charge of €4.50 per person. The collaboration with La Pergo restaurant in Lozanne does not mean that a reception space is automatically included in the catering price.

Booking and organisation

The business states that it limits its activity to two ceremonies per weekend. The five-day lead time advertised for some ordinary orders should therefore not be treated as sufficient notice for booking a wedding. Published information specifies a 30% deposit and payment of the balance on the event day. Confirm the schedule, guest numbers, equipment, travel and service hours in a current written offer.
