Will your set-up fit in a smaller garden in De Haan?

Usually, yes. Our tent comes in two sizes, 3×3 and 4×4 metres, and only needs level ground. If the garden is tighter, we look together at a terrace or driveway. Attach a few photos to your request and we will give you an honest answer on what is feasible.

Can you also come to Wenduine or Vlissegem?

Yes, all the sub-municipalities of De Haan are within our area: Wenduine, Vlissegem and Klemskerke, as well as neighbouring towns like Bredene and Blankenberge. The practical arrangements do differ: towards the sea wall the streets are narrower, in the polders there is more room.

Do you need a minimum number of guests for a garden party?

No, there is no minimum. A birthday with twenty friends works just as well as a wedding with a hundred and fifty guests. Above that number we deploy a second baking station, so the pizzas keep arriving smoothly.

What about dietary needs at a wedding?

A few meat-free pizzas are always part of the rounds. Anyone eating vegan or gluten-free gets a pizza of their own on request, baked after preparation at a screened-off work table. You receive an allergen list beforehand, so you know who may eat what when planning the seating.

Pizza catering in De Haan

Low cottage-style villas, winding lanes and the coastal tram rolling through the village: De Haan has an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else by the sea. Our pizza catering plants a wood-burning oven right in your own garden.

Garden party in the Concessie

The cottage district has spacious gardens behind low villas. Our tent, three or four metres wide, almost always finds a spot among the greenery.

Respect for quiet lanes

The villa district is no place for heavy traffic. We arrive with a compact set-up and agree the unloading with you beforehand.

Marrying with a wood-fired oven

After the ceremony come rounds of shareable pizzas, a pause between the speeches, and to finish tiramisu and cannoli with coffee on the lawn.

A seaside resort that kept its character

De Haan was laid out in the late nineteenth century as a resort for those seeking peace, with cottage-style villas along winding lanes instead of tall blocks on the sea wall. That Concessie is protected today and gives the municipality an almost English feel. The old little tram station and the belle-époque facades by the sea complete the picture.

That character also shapes how people celebrate. Many parties take place in the garden of a villa or second home, with family and friends staying for the weekend by the sea. The pace is slow, the evenings are long and a wood-fired oven in the middle of the garden suits it wonderfully.

A garden party from aperitivo to dolci

We begin with an Aperitivo while guests explore the garden: focaccia straight off the oven floor, bruschetta with tomato and basil, some antipasti on a board and, for those who want one, an Aperol spritz. Children watch in fascination as the dough slides into the oven; adults gather around the standing tables under the trees.

The pizzas follow in rounds, each one sliced so everyone can try a bit of everything. At a wedding we match the rhythm to the speeches and the cake, or to a first dance on the lawn. If you booked the Full experience, tiramisu and cannoli arrive at the table to close. Expect the pizzas to flow for two to two and a half hours in total.

Setting up between villas and dunes

The lanes in the villa district are narrow and often winding, with hedges and trees right up to the road. So we come with a compact set-up, agree a loading moment and place the tent where the ground is level. A passage 2.5 metres wide to the garden is ideal; a narrower gate we solve together.

A wood-burning oven belongs outside, or beneath an open canopy. Near the dunes it can blow hard, so we look for a sheltered spot against the villa or a hedge. When the last guest leaves we break down, sweep the work area and every scrap of rubbish goes off in the van. The garden is peaceful again the next morning.
