Can the pizza be the midday meal after the communion service?

Certainly. We plan our arrival so the oven is already glowing as you return from the service. Lighting up takes about ninety minutes, so let us know the time of mass. After that comes a baking stretch of two hours or so, in rounds.

Isn’t pizza too informal for a solemn communion?

That depends on the approach. With an aperitivo first, pizzas in different flavours and dolci afterwards it becomes a proper celebration meal. It stays relaxed, which is just what you want at a family party, but it is carefully made and freshly prepared.

Do you also work for a lentefeest on a Saturday?

It makes no difference to us. Whether it’s a communion, confirmation or lentefeest, we work with the same packages. Do ask in good time, though, because in spring many family parties fall on the same weekends.

We have a swimming pool in the garden. Is that a problem?

Not at all, although we keep the oven a safe distance from the water and from where the children play. State in your enquiry where the pool, terrace and play area are, and we will plan the set-up accordingly.

Pizza catering for your communion or lentefeest in Brasschaat

In Brasschaat a communion day often begins with a morning service and only ends in the evening in a spacious garden. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven turns the midday meal into a party lunch that can simply run on until coffee time.

A lunch that runs on

After the service nobody wants to rush. We start with antipasti and focaccia, and the pizzas follow in rounds until everyone leans back, content.

Big family, one oven

Large families and villa gardens often go together in Brasschaat. A single oven handles around 150 guests; beyond that a second station joins in.

For all ages

A classic margherita for the youngest, richer flavours for the adults and dolci for everyone: so every generation at the table is well served.

After the service: a lunch that runs on

Solemn communion and confirmation in Brasschaat usually fall on a Sunday in spring, with a service in the morning. Around noon the family comes together, and the real party begins. What you want then is a meal that isn’t over by one o’clock, but that goes with an afternoon of talking, playing and drinking a glass in the sun.

Pizza in rounds suits that wonderfully. We open with an aperitivo of focaccia, bruschetta and antipasti while the guest of honour opens presents. After that we bake a fresh batch of pizzas each time, so something warm reaches the table for two hours. Anyone who goes to play football with the children in the garden misses nothing: the next round is on its way.

Sixty guests in a villa garden

In Maria-ter-Heide, De Kaart or the avenues around the Peerdsbos, many houses have a garden where sixty people easily find a place. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, godfather and godmother: at a communion in Brasschaat the company soon grows large. For us that is no problem, and in such a garden there is usually still room enough for a bouncy castle.

A spacious garden has its own points of attention. The set-up spot must be reachable with our equipment, ideally by a driveway or side path about two and a half metres wide. After a wet April week the lawn is sometimes soft, so we look together for a firm zone. Some pictures of the garden and how to reach it help a lot.

A menu for twelve-year-olds and their grandparents

A communion party is one of the few celebrations where four generations sit at the table together. For the youngest we bake familiar flavours: margherita, prosciutto, something with plenty of cheese. The adults like to try the richer varieties with Italian charcuterie or seasonal vegetables. Because everything is served in slices, everyone can choose without having to eat a whole pizza.

Vegetarian pizzas are always on the menu. For a child or grandparent with a gluten allergy or a vegan diet we arrange a separate preparation on request, and you receive the allergen list beforehand. For dessert many families choose tiramisu and cannoli; that gives you an alternative to the classic communion cake straight away.

Wij hebben onlangs gebruikgemaakt van Prestigo Catering en kunnen niet anders dan een absolute topbeoordeling geven. Vanaf het eerste contact tot het afronden van het feest was alles uitmuntend geregeld. De communicatie vooraf verliep vlot…
