Can the oven stand on a grass meadow in an orchard?

Yes, as long as the ground is firm. After a wet spell we look together for higher or drier ground, or place the tent on a path or the yard paving. Send a photo of the meadow and the access with your enquiry.

How big a crowd suits a farm party?

There is no minimum and no strict maximum. One oven keeps up for a group of around a hundred and fifty. For bigger family parties or weddings on a four-sided farm we put a second baking station alongside, so the pace stays good.

Does the wood-fired oven work inside a party barn?

The oven itself must stand outside or under an open shelter, because the smoke has to escape. Guests can sit in the barn as usual. A spot right by the barn door is ideal: a short walk and free smoke extraction.

Do you also come to Genk, Sint-Truiden or Tongeren?

Yes, we work throughout Limburg and beyond. The further the venue, the more generous our travel planning. The proposal states the arrangements for arrival, set-up and service clearly, so you know when we will be there.

Pizza catering in Hasselt

Around Hasselt, Haspengouw begins: fruit orchards, four-sided farmsteads and party barns with room enough for long dinners. Pizza catering with a wood-fired oven feels natural there, whether you marry among the apple trees or celebrate a birthday in a garden in Kuringen.

On the farmyard

Four-sided farms have an enclosed courtyard, sheltered from the wind. The oven in the yard gives the party a natural centre between farmhouse and barn.

Soft ground allowed for

An orchard or meadow is soft after rain. Beforehand we check where the ground is firm enough for the tent, work tables and equipment.

Big families

Limburg parties often bring a lot of relatives. Once numbers climb beyond a hundred and fifty, we add a second baking station so every table is served promptly.

Four-sided farms and party barns in Haspengouw

South of Hasselt, towards Sint-Truiden and Tongeren, lie the typical four-sided farms with a courtyard between farmhouse, stables and barn. Many have been converted into party venues, while others are used by the family itself for a big celebration. The courtyard is ideal: flat, sheltered and with the barn as covered dining space for guests.

At such a location we like to build a complete Full experience. First antipasti and focaccia on arrival, then Pizza à volonté while guests sit at long tables in the barn, and finally tiramisu and cannoli. A limoncello as digestif suits the long evenings the province is known for.

Seasons between blossom and harvest

Spring in Haspengouw is blossom time, when the orchards turn white and pink. Communions and lentefeesten gain a wonderful backdrop, though it can still be chilly. The oven itself gives warmth and burns in any weather; for the crew and guests we provide a tent or canopy, so nobody has to stand in a shower.

In summer and autumn, during the picking, parties move outdoors. A garden party in Stevoort, a company party that for once is not a barbecue, a birthday on the edge of the Kapermolenpark: the wood-fired oven fits anywhere there is a flat piece of ground. Around the Hasselt jenever festival in autumn the centre is busier, so allow extra time for your journey then.

In winter the party moves inside, but the oven stays outside. A barn with a wide door is ideal then: the pizzas travel from fire to table in a few steps. A Christmas party or year-end drink for a Limburg company gets a warm, almost homely feel, with the scent of wood smoke drifting in each time the door opens.

Getting there and setting up outside the city

Many Limburg party venues lie on country roads, sometimes with an unpaved drive or a narrow lane. A photo of the access and of the spot for the oven helps us enormously. The equipment needs a passage of just under three metres wide and firm, level ground. A gravel path or paved yard is ideal; grass works if it is not waterlogged.

In Hasselt itself, within the Groene Boulevard, most venues lie close together and access is simpler. We plan the journey into Limburg with a margin, so the oven is hot well before the first guests. When the last pizza has been baked, our waste leaves with us and the yard stays tidy, even on the most remote farm.

De kwaliteit van de pizza’s was uitstekend: vers, smaakvol en voor elk wat wils. Het team was zeer professioneel, vriendelijk en zorgde met een glimlach dat al onze 60 feestvierders vlot bediend werden. De mobiele pizzaovens gaven extra…
