With lovely late summer weather and an extensive buffet, we enjoyed a nice party for our son last weekend. He turned 14 and we celebrated that with a snack and a drink, without having to run out of my ass. With the concept of the BuffettenBoer, the brother of the Barbecue Boer, that is a piece of cake… everything has already been arranged for you.
⇒ Would you like to order a buffet yourself at the Buffetten Boer?
Table of contents
First of all I will tell you a bit more about the concept of the Buffetten Boer. You order the buffet you are interested in online. Indicate when you would like the buffet and your buffet will be delivered on the agreed day. Warm or cold, you can choose.
A day in advance you will receive an email from your buffet from the Buffetten Boer about the time at which they will deliver it so that you know exactly when you have to be home.
Your buffet is delivered, including salads, baguettes, sauces, herb butter, plates, cutlery and of course the rechauds with burning paste in which you can heat it yourself.
You can choose from 8 different buffets with your order:
Reheating your buffet is not that difficult at all. It only takes a while, so you have to take that into account if you want to have your food heated up at a certain time. You fill the rechauds with about 1 centimeter of water and you light the cans with fuel paste. A can of fuel paste burns for about 2-2.5 hours and you need about 2 hours to heat all the food. Don't have time to heat up the food before serving the buffet or a group of more than 25 people? Then you can also arrange a warm buffet at the BuffettenBoer and they will ensure that it is delivered warmed, which is also handy.
Anyway, in our case it was delivered cold and we lit the rechauds around four o'clock. Lighting is a breeze and you will receive three extra jars of fuel paste with which you can keep the buffet heated for a while after heating. We didn't even need those three extra jars.
Within 2 hours the food was all well heated, I don't get that much made in my slow cooker for the whole club 😉 . You bake the baguette yourself in the oven for a while, then it is at its best. Not necessarily, but then it will be nice and crunchy again.
When unpacking all the bins I was afraid that we would have too little, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact… we were able to eat it with the family for two more days 😉 . Somehow that's a thing of mine… being afraid that I don't have enough food.
My choice fell on the 'the choice is huge' buffet, but you can choose from all kinds of buffets. The choice in our buffet ranged from grandma's stew to chicken piripiri and from ham on the bone to pork satay and delicious pork oysters. In addition to all the delicious meat that is delivered, you can complete your plate with tasty salads, a baked potato, stir-fried vegetables or a delicious rice dish.
We all had a delicious meal, although I have to say that I liked the barbecue of the Barbecue Boer itself a bit better than this buffet. It is certainly not the assortment, but I have the idea that it was all a bit overcooked. Maybe I let it heat through too much myself, I have no idea.

The biggest advantage of throwing a party in this way is of course that we don't spend hours in the kitchen preparing it, but also not doing the dishes! Everything will be picked up dirty again on the agreed day. You put the dirty plates, cutlery and trays with spoons and the like in the crates and the rechauds set you up again. The mess is cleared up inside in no time and what is outside is simply collected again, ideal!
