Do you also bake for a lentefeest, not just a communion?

Yes, it makes no difference to us. A lentefeest, a first or solemn communion or a confirmation: the rhythm of the service simply follows your day’s schedule, and we choose a package that fits the number of guests and their ages.

Classmates are celebrating the same weekend. Should we book quickly?

That is advisable. In spring many parties in Bonheiden and the surrounding area fall on the same Sundays. Send your enquiry, giving date, address and the guest count you expect, once the day of the service or lentefeest is fixed.

Can children safely walk around the oven?

We keep a clear work zone around the oven, which only the team enters. Children can watch from a distance, and they usually love that. Agree with the other parents who keeps an eye on the play area.

What if a child with an allergy is at the party?

Mention it in your enquiry. You receive an allergen list beforehand, and guests who eat gluten-free or vegan can have a separate pizza made in a work zone of its own, on request. Vegetarian flavours are included in every round as standard.

Pizza catering for your communion or lentefeest in Bonheiden

In Bonheiden and Rijmenam children from the same class often celebrate their communion or lentefeest on the same weekend, and tents pop up in gardens everywhere. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven makes your party just a little different, with freshly baked pizza for young and old.

Communion and lentefeest

Whether your child celebrates First Communion, solemn communion or the lentefeest: the oven suits every kind of spring family party.

Cousins and classmates

Children roam the garden in groups. Pizza by the slice lets them grab something in passing without anyone waiting at a table.

Villa garden with trees

Many gardens in Bonheiden lie among tall pines and oaks. We look for an open spot where the fire can burn freely and the smoke can escape.

Communion or lentefeest in Rijmenam and Bonheiden

Spring is the season of family parties in Bonheiden. In the parishes of Bonheiden and Rijmenam children make their first or solemn communion, and plenty of pupils opt for a lentefeest. Because classmates often celebrate on the same weekend, on a Sunday in May you see one tent after another in garden after garden. If you want your party to stick in the memory, an oven with real fire helps.

A lentefeest and a communion differ in form, but not in what the family expects: being together, good food, and a day with the child at its centre. We adapt to the programme in both cases. For a communion we follow the time of the service, for a lentefeest the time of the reception at school or in the hall, and the rest of the day arranges itself accordingly.

A villa garden full of cousins

At a communion in Bonheiden the whole family soon turns up: grandparents from nearby, uncles and aunts from Mechelen or further, and a gang of cousins who vanish into the garden at once. The villa gardens in this municipality are ideal for that, with room to play and nooks to sit quietly. The oven becomes the focal point where adults gather.

Under tall trees we do have to look carefully at where the fire goes. An open spot with clear air above is needed for the smoke, and the ground under pines is often soft and covered in needles. A terrace, driveway or a firm patch of lawn works best. An access route a little under three metres wide to that spot makes setting up simple.

The schedule of a communion day

A typical communion day begins with the service in the morning. We are then already setting up, since a wood fire needs a good ninety minutes before the oven is hot enough. When the family gets home, the antipasti and the focaccia are ready. An hour later, after the toast to the communicant, we start on the pizzas, which go round the table in rounds.

After roughly two hours of baking we move on to dessert: tiramisu and cannoli, which children and grandparents enjoy equally. Then our work is done and we pack up, waste included. The afternoon can carry on with coffee, games in the garden and opening presents, without anyone having to go into the kitchen.
