How long does a service last at a festival?

A standard service stretches over roughly two hours and some, with set-up and firing up well in advance. For a longer event we look in the proposal at how best to cover the peak moments. For that, send us the programme and expected visitor numbers.

Who applies for the permit for the stall?

When the stall stands on public ground, the event organiser asks the council for permission to occupy it. We supply the technical sheet with dimensions, layout and details of the wood-fired oven. Private ground requires nothing of the sort.

Do you need power or water at the site?

In principle no: we are self-sufficient with water, refrigeration, work surfaces and wood. We only ask for a level, reachable pitch. If the site has specific rules on vehicles or open fire, let us know beforehand.

Is the pizza food truck an option too?

Yes. At many public events organisers choose the food truck, because it is quickly set up and instantly recognisable. For smaller or more carefully styled events we work under an open tent three or four metres wide. Do discuss which form suits your site.

Do you also attend school fairs or neighbourhood parties?

Certainly. School fairs, neighbourhood parties and youth-movement meal days are public events too, each with its own peak moments. We adapt the menu to the audience, with vegetarian options and, if asked, gluten-free or vegan pizzas made in a separate zone.

Pizza catering for food festivals and public events

At a festival or market, a visitor decides within seconds where to eat. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven you can see smoking from afar, a crew that keeps up the pace and a menu you read at a glance: that is how we build a stall at a public event.

Visible fire

A burning wood-fired oven draws passers-by. We position the baking zone so visitors can follow the fire and the stretching of the dough from the footpath.

Built for throughput

A short menu and a fixed division of tasks keep the queue moving. With large visitor numbers, a second baking station joins the first oven.

Technical sheet ready

For organisers and municipalities we supply a technical sheet with dimensions and layout, handy for the site plan and the paperwork.

Pace and flow at a public event

A food festival, a street fair or a village party has a different rhythm from a private party. There is no guest list, but there are peaks: around noon, after a concert, when the sun goes down. We build the division of work around those peaks. One person stretches the dough, a second tops it, a third bakes; that way a constant stream of pizzas leaves the oven.

A clear menu helps. Instead of ten varieties, at a public event we choose a handful of strong classics and one seasonal pizza, always with a vegetarian choice. Visitors decide faster, the queue moves more smoothly and quality stays level, even at the busiest moment of the day. A clear board with the day’s flavours does the rest.

Visible on the grounds

On a festival meadow or town square, your stall stands among dozens of others. A wood-fired oven has an advantage there: smoke, fire and the smell of baking dough carry further than any sign. We therefore ask the organiser for a spot along a walking route, with the baking zone facing the public. A stall where visitors see the baking happen draws a crowd by itself.

That visibility also works for public events run by companies or municipalities, such as an open day, a neighbourhood party or a sports event. The pizzas go round in pieces or are handed out by the portion, depending on what is agreed with the organiser. We settle that together in the proposal, along with the number of baking stations.

Permits, location and self-sufficiency

A stall on public ground calls for the municipality’s permit to use public space, which the organiser requests with our technical sheet attached. Private land, like a company car park or a farm meadow, does not. For fire safety and the position of the oven we follow the rules of the site.

Our setup is self-sufficient: we bring water, work surfaces, refrigeration and wood, so we do not depend on connections at the site. What we do need is level ground and a clear strip 2.5 metres wide to drive in. After the event our waste goes home with us and the pitch is left clean.

Heel originele formule, toffe gasten, leuke aankleding en hele lekkere pizza's uit de mobiele houtoven. Hebben hierdoor een erg leuke avond gehad en erg tevreden gasten. Voor herhaling vatbaar ... :-)
