Can you cater a party during the Doudou weekend in Mons?

It can be done, but plan ahead. During the Doudou the centre is busy and some streets are closed. We leave earlier and agree with you whether the venue has an unloading spot and an approach route. A location outside the centre is often simpler in those days.

Does pizza catering work for a reception after a performance or exhibition opening?

Certainly. For a standing reception the Aperitivo works well, or pizza in small slices, so guests can eat one-handed and keep talking. The oven burns outdoors or under a canopy that stays open, while guests remain inside or on the terrace.

Can you set up in a courtyard in the centre of Mons?

If there is open sky or an open canopy, usually yes. We need a level area of 3×3 or 4×4 metres and an opening about 2.5 metres wide. Narrow gates and stairs we check beforehand from photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you offer gluten-free or vegan pizza in Mons?

Yes, on request. Vegetarian pizzas are part of the standard offer. For gluten-free and vegan preparations we work in a separate corner of the workspace, and you receive an allergen overview in advance to share with your guests.

Pizza catering in Mons

Mons is a city of culture, old façades and a folk festival everyone knows. With our pizza catering, your reception, birthday or wedding party gets a wood-fired oven as its centrepiece, in the city or in the green belt around it.

Around the Doudou or outside it

The Doudou weekend turns all of Mons upside down. Planning a party in that period? We take the crowds and closed streets into account.

Pizza at the reception

After an exhibition opening or an academic ceremony we serve focaccia and pizza slices that guests can eat standing up, without the conversation dying down.

Estates on the edge

In Jurbise, Quévy or Saint-Ghislain there are farms and gardens with room enough for a marquee and an oven under the open sky.

A city that loves a celebration

Mons wears its history openly: the Grand-Place with the town hall, the baroque belfry rising above the rooftops and the collegiate church of Sainte-Waudru on the hill. Since the city was European Capital of Culture in 2015, it also has a lively scene of museums, theatres and arts venues that host receptions and corporate evenings.

And then there is the Doudou, held on Trinity Sunday weekend, when the city honours its patron saint and Saint George fights the dragon on the Grand-Place. Hold a party in those days and you will find the whole city in a festive mood. We then allow extra time for the journey and agree access to your venue in advance.

From aperitivo to dolci in Mons

An evening with our pizza catering has a set rhythm, but no straitjacket. As your guests arrive, the Aperitivo awaits: crisp focaccia hot from the oven, bruschetta and a plate of antipasti. An Aperol spritz or Italian wine completes the picture. Conversations start up before the first pizza reaches the table.

After that the oven never stops. In rounds, six to ten different pizzas come past, cut into slices so your guests can taste without having to choose. If a speech or tribute is planned, we pause for a moment and pick up the thread afterwards. Tiramisu and cannoli close the evening.

Venues in and around Mons

In the historic core the streets are steep and often cobbled, and courtyards cannot always be reached with equipment. For a party in the centre we therefore first work out how to get the oven and marquee to the spot. An open courtyard of a townhouse or a garden behind an arts venue works well, as long as the smoke can rise freely.

Just outside the city there is more room. In the villages towards Quévy and Jurbise you find farms and country estates, and in the Borinage, around Saint-Ghislain and Frameries, gardens and halls with an industrial backdrop. There the marquee goes on level ground, sized 3×3 or 4×4 metres to suit the guest count, and we set up at our leisure.

Wij hebben Prestigio ingeschakeld voor onze huwelijksreceptie in onze tuin (voor plus minus 85 personen). Alle communicatie vooraf was zeer duidelijk en snel. De dag zelf verliep alles super vlot: het opstellen van de tent, werkblad en…
