Banquets and Meetings {COLUMBUS AREA}

Whether it’s for business or pleasure, there are plenty of reasons to get together in the picturesque Darby Valley—country air, beautiful surroundings, and friendly people. But it’s the genuine hospitality extended at Der Dutchman Restaurant and Der Dutchman Countryside that really make Plain City the perfect rural gathering place for Columbus-area businesses and organizations, tour groups, and extended families.

Of course, our fresh-baked cinnamon rolls blanketed in creamy sweet icing and our homemade Dutch apple pie might have something to do with our growing reputation as a destination of choice for meetings, weddings, banquets, and special events. At Der Dutchman Restaurant and Der Dutchman Countryside, groups of all sizes and kinds enjoy the beauty of the country setting and the bounty of the country kitchen.

Abundant Selection Many delicious traditions of Amish Kitchen Cooking can be found on our banquet and catering menus—roast beef, turkey, and ham; crispy chicken; real mashed potatoes; homemade noodles; and savory side dishes. It’s like Thanksgiving every day! Of course, groups looking for lighter options can enjoy home-style soups, sandwiches, and garden-fresh salad selections as colorful and varied as a quilt.

Group-Friendly Service Options Fellowship at the table is a foundation of Amish/Mennonite life. Our group-friendly Family-Style and Buffet service for banquets support the tradition. Groups of all sizes are served hot, freshly prepared foods quickly and efficiently, so they can make the most of their time together at the table.

Fresh-baked cinnamon rolls
Golden apple fritters
Braided cinnamon twists
Hand-shaped apple turnovers
Legendary homemade pies
Loaves of bread

Whoopee pies and more!
