Blue Mare can host company parties, summer and Christmas parties, birthdays, weddings and small conferences, for up to 120 seated guests inside and up to 300 standing on its covered terrace. The restaurant sits at Tarpen 40 in Hamburg-Langenhorn, in the north of the city, on the edge of the green Valvo Park.
Seminars and company events
For a meeting, the Dining Room is the space to look at: a separate room for up to 24 people, equipped with a projector and screen, which can be booked exclusively for presentations, workshops or a small conference. A buffet can be added when this room is booked, so a team can work and eat without changing venue. For larger groups, the main restaurant and the terrace suit team parties, client receptions, summer parties and the end-of-year season. From November to December, a mulled wine hut next to the terrace can be booked from 15 guests, with Christmas decoration and music included, serving mulled wine, punch, waffles and kale in the northern German tradition.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and birthdays are among the events Blue Mare lists. The restaurant and terraces can be rented in full or in part, which lets a couple combine a seated dinner inside with a standing reception outside. The small terrace, for up to 30 guests, works for a more private aperitif or a family dinner the day before.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant takes 120 guests seated or up to 200 standing. The covered terrace beside it takes 160 seated or 300 standing and looks over Valvo Park, under an awning that can be heated, so it stays usable outside the summer months. The Dining Room takes up to 24 people and the Kleine Terrasse up to 30. Each space can be booked on its own, or the whole venue can be reserved, terraces included.
Catering
The kitchen serves modern cooking built on seasonal produce, with fish and meat dishes, classics and vegan options, plus a full sushi menu with sashimi, maki, nigiri and inside-out rolls. Drink packages are offered for events. Blue Mare also caters away from the restaurant: delivered fine dining boxes, private dinners at home with a chef and a server, and event catering for 15 to 60 guests with flying sushi, passed starters and live carving of fish and meat.
Getting there
Parking is available directly in front of the restaurant, a real advantage for guests arriving by car, and the venue describes itself as fully barrier-free. Langenhorn lies in the north of Hamburg, close to Hamburg Airport, which helps when colleagues fly in for a company event. The restaurant runs regular service on weekdays from lunchtime and on Saturday evenings and is closed on Sundays, which is worth knowing when choosing a date.
