Can we marry on the beach in Oostduinkerke with your catering?

For that you need permission from the municipality of Koksijde, and tent and oven must stand on a hard, even floor, not on soft sand. Together with the venue we look at what is possible. A villa garden at the edge of the dunes often turns out the handiest choice in practice.

What size of crowd can you handle at a farm in the polder?

There is no minimum. For groups up to roughly 150, one oven does the work; at a larger wedding a second baking station comes in. On a farm around Wulpen or Oostduinkerke village there is usually plenty of room for that.

What about guests who must eat gluten-free?

Let us know beforehand: gluten-free or fully plant-based we bake on request, with a separate work table to prevent cross-contact. Vegetarian pizzas are always on the menu, and you receive an allergen list for your guests beforehand.

Do you also work in Nieuwpoort and Koksijde?

Certainly. From the IJzer estuary in Nieuwpoort to Koksijde, Sint-Idesbald and De Panne we take the oven along the west coast, and inland around Veurne and Wulpen we are at home too.

Pizza catering by Prestigio in Oostduinkerke

Pizza catering in Oostduinkerke

In Oostduinkerke the horseback shrimp fishers still ride into the surf in search of shrimp, while behind the dunes the polder land of Wulpen begins. Our pizza catering works on both sides: in a beach villa or on a farm, bringing the same oven, fired with wood, and the same slowly matured sourdough.

Beach or polder

Do you choose a party with a sea view or a farm among the meadows? We adapt set-up and timing to the backdrop that suits you.

A wedding without stress

From aperitivo after the ceremony to dolci as the cake is cut: we keep an eye on the rhythm, you enjoy the day.

Tradition on the table

A village that cherishes its fishers appreciates craft. Our dough rests for two to three days and uses no commercial yeast, and you can taste the difference.

A village with two faces

Oostduinkerke consists of a seaside resort and an old village further inland. On the coast lie beach villas and apartments, and on the beach you can watch the horseback shrimp fishers at work, a tradition recognised as intangible heritage. Behind the dunes everything changes: meadows, scattered farms and the polders running on to Wulpen and the IJzer.

Parties follow that division. Some couples want to marry with a sea view, others choose a farm where a hundred guests find room without effort. Family parties often take place in the holiday home on the coast, club parties more often on grounds inland. Our wood-fired oven goes along everywhere.

A wedding day between dune and polder

After the ceremony many couples first go on a photo shoot in the dunes or on the beach. While they are away, we receive the guests with the Aperitivo: focaccia from the oven, bruschetta, antipasti and an Aperol spritz or a glass of Italian red. That way there is no empty moment, and everyone is already in a party mood when the couple returns.

Then the pizza rounds begin. Six to ten varieties travel across the tables in slices, so guests can taste and compare. Around the speeches and the cake we pause the baking for a moment. With the Full experience tiramisu and cannoli follow, with a little limoncello for those who want to dance late.

Set-up by the sea and inland

On the coast a party on or near the beach requires a permit and firm ground. A villa with a garden or terrace is often simpler: there we put the tent on tiles or grass and look for a sheltered corner for the oven. The sea wind blows in freely here, so shelter is always a point of attention.

In the polder, space is rarely a problem. Farms have wide access roads and big yards, which makes building up simple. There we mainly watch the ground: after rain a meadow can be waterlogged, and then the set-up shifts to the paved part of the yard. Photos of the spot help us plan that properly.
