Pizza catering in Ohain
At a glance
A wedding in the garden
A walled garden is sheltered and intimate. The oven takes a place against the wall, and the guests sit at long tables on the grass.
Three generations at the table
Pizza in wedges suits grandparents and grandchildren alike. Everyone takes what they fancy, and nobody is stuck behind a full plate.
From aperitivo to dolci
The Full experience combines antipasti and focaccia, pizza à volonté and a dessert of tiramisu and cannoli. Italian drinks round it all off.
A village of avenues and farms
Ohain lies on the La Hulpe and Waterloo side, in the northern part of Lasne. The village has its own church and centre, but drive further and you mostly see long tree-lined avenues leading to farms and country houses. Many of these properties have a walled garden or inner courtyard, often surrounded by old walls or dense hedges.
That is where the loveliest parties happen: weddings beneath the trees, birthdays on the lawn, family gatherings where three generations come together. The setting is so strong that little decoration is needed. A wood-fired oven adds exactly the right touch: fire, movement and the aroma of freshly baked dough wafting over the wall.
A wedding day with the oven at its heart
After the ceremony the guests stream into the garden. The fire is already burning, because our crew started well in advance. During the reception and the photo session we serve the Aperitivo: focaccia, bruschetta and antipasti, with Aperol or Italian wine. That way nobody waits on an empty stomach until the couple return from their photos.
With everyone seated, the pizza rounds get under way. Between six and ten flavours pass by, each in wedges to share, with pauses for speeches and the opening dance. Around the two-hour mark, or a little later, the dolci appear. At a wedding with over 150 guests we add a second baking station, so even the furthest table need not wait.
Setting up on gravel and grass
The driveways in Ohain are roomy, but often surfaced with gravel or simply grass. We look for a firm spot a short walk from the tables, big enough for a four-by-four tent. Grass is fine too, as long as it is not boggy. A 2.5-metre passage is enough to get our equipment up to the setup spot.
In a walled garden we pay extra attention to the smoke. The oven stands outdoors or under an open-sided roof, where the wind will not blow smoke towards the tables. In rain we work with a party tent alongside. After the party we pack everything away and leave with the waste in the van.
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…
