Can you join in after a seminar at a coastal hotel?

Yes, as long as there is an outdoor spot, or an open cover, where the oven can stand, for example on a terrace or in the hotel garden. We agree with the hotel where we load and park, and we arrive in good time to fire the oven for the first round.

How big can our group be?

There is no minimum. A single oven copes with roughly 150 participants; a larger group gets a second baking station. At a client event with guests arriving in waves, we spread the rounds over the whole service, which takes two hours or a little more.

Can you also provide Italian drinks?

Yes. Aperol, limoncello and Italian wines can be part of the proposal. For a seminar by the sea, many companies choose an aperitivo with Aperol on the terrace, followed by wine with the pizza. We tailor the offer to the course of your day.

Do we need to plan differently in high season?

A little more generously. In July and August the roads and the streets of the resort are busy. We plan the approach with extra margin and agree parking beforehand. Otherwise the process stays the same: enquiry, tailor-made proposal and delivery.

Pizza catering for your company party in Knokke-Heist

Companies come to Knokke-Heist for seminars, client days and incentives, and want to close the day with something that suits the coast. With a wood-fired oven, our pizza catering makes it a relaxed evening after a day of presentations.

After the last presentation

When the meeting room empties, the oven is ready. Colleagues stroll from the projector to the terrace and have a slice of pizza and a glass in hand at once.

Welcoming clients

A wood-fired oven is a talking point in itself. Clients see the dough go into the oven and get pizza straight from the fire, not from a hot-holding cabinet.

Polder farm or hotel garden

A farm in the polders behind Westkapelle or the garden of a coastal hotel: we check beforehand which spot works best for the oven and the tent.

After the seminar day: aperitivo at sunset

A seminar by the sea follows a fixed pattern: meetings until the afternoon, a breath of fresh air on the sea wall and then dinner together. It is exactly at that hinge point that our Aperitivo comes in handy. Focaccia straight from the fire, bruschetta and a glass of Aperol on a terrace as the sun sinks towards the sea break the formal tone of the day faster than any speech.

The group then moves on to the pizza itself: à volonté, in slices on a board, with six to ten varieties following one another, so people keep walking around and talking to other departments. That is precisely the point of such a day: not everyone at a fixed table with the same four colleagues, but networking around the oven. A limoncello to finish puts the Italian full stop on it.

Welcoming clients on the coast

Knokke-Heist has a reputation for art, galleries and polished hospitality, and clients expect that level. A pizzaiolo stretching dough before their eyes and baking over a wood fire fits that expectation without becoming stiff. It is crafted and personal, and gives your guests something to talk about when they are back at their desks on Monday.

At a client event we pay extra attention to detail: a neat set-up, a team that can explain the sourdough, which is left to prove for two or three days, and ingredients that come straight from Italy. We ask about clients’ dietary needs in advance. Vegetarian is standard; anyone who is vegan or gluten-free gets a preparation on request in a separate corner of our work area.

A farm in the polders as an alternative

Not every company party has to be on the sea wall. Behind the resort lie the polders of Westkapelle and Ramskapelle, with farms and meadows where it is quieter and the horizon wide. For a team day with an outdoor activity and an evening party afterwards, such a place is ideal. The ground there is often grass or gravel, so we check beforehand where the tent can stand level.

Accessibility plays a part too. A narrow polder road with ditches on both sides calls for arrangements about where our vehicle can turn and park. Send us photos of the drive and the yard, or a link to the location, and we will give you a candid answer on what works. That way we avoid anyone ending up in a verge on the day itself.

We waren super tevreden en hadden een geweldig communiefeest! Van de hapjes, pizza’s tot de desserts, alles was tot in de puntjes in orde. Heel tevreden en een echte aanrader!
