Is a wood-fired oven safe near horses and hay?

Yes, if we choose the right spot. We put the oven well away from the stable and hay store and take the wind direction into account. Send us a photo or sketch of the yard beforehand.

Can you set up on an unpaved yard in Sint-Antonius?

A firm lawn or compacted sandy ground is usually fine, as long as the spot is level. If the ground is soft after rain, we choose an alternative together, such as a paved courtyard or driveway.

Is pizza catering a good fit for a communion party with plenty of children?

Very well. Children love watching the oven, and simple flavours such as margherita are always in the rounds. Because we serve in slices, they eat when they like and play in between.

What size of farm wedding can you handle?

With one oven we bake comfortably for a wedding of up to about a hundred and fifty guests. For larger wedding parties a second baking station takes over the extra load, so the rounds keep coming.

Pizza catering by Prestigio in Sint-Antonius

Pizza catering in Sint-Antonius

In Sint-Antonius most gardens look out on a paddock or horse meadow. Our pizza catering fires up a wood-fired oven in the yard there, for a party where the horses come to the fence to watch.

Boots may stay on

Parties in a yard in Sint-Antonius are relaxed. You eat pizza slices standing by the meadow or sitting at a long table in the yard.

Oven out of the stable’s wind

We position the oven so that smoke and sparks do not drift towards the stable or hay store. We keep horses and hay at a generous distance.

From communion to wedding party

The same yard serves for a spring party in May and a wedding in September. We adapt the menu to the company and the season.

The horse village of Zoersel

Sint-Antonius is the rural part of Zoersel, around the church that gave the village its name. People who live here often have space: a villa at the forest edge, a converted farm, and very often a couple of horses on the meadow behind the house. A riding arena, a stable and a hayloft are part of the street scene, just like riders walking through the village on a Sunday morning.

You see that lifestyle again in the way people celebrate. A birthday, communion or wedding takes place in the family’s own yard, with the meadow as backdrop and the stable as the setting for photos. There is no need for a hall; there is a need for someone to take care of the food while the host stays with his guests.

How a yard party with pizza goes

Guests arrive along the drive, park on the meadow or along the village road and are welcomed with an aperitivo. Focaccia from the wood-fired oven, a platter of antipasti and an Aperol or glass of wine: enough to look around the yard and greet the horses. By then the oven has been burning for a while.

Then the pizza à volonté begins. Six to ten kinds pass by in slices, so everyone can taste and the table keeps changing. Children wander off to the ponies, adults linger by the oven. With the full experience, tiramisu and cannoli follow, just as the horses in the meadow are given their evening hay.

Safety and set-up in a horse yard

Burning wood in a yard with horses calls for a little extra care. We choose a spot far enough from the stable and hay store, with the wind blowing the smoke away from the animals. The ground must be level for the three- or four-metre-wide working tent; a paved courtyard or firm grass will do.

Vegetarian pizzas are in every round, and for guests with a gluten intolerance or a vegan diet we bake separate pizzas on request, with their own utensils and in a corner of their own. At the end of the evening we clear up; only the hoof prints in the yard do we leave behind.

Mathieu en Chloe, een supersympathiek duo, hebben van ons tuinfeest een enorm succes gemaakt. Hun pizza’s zijn overheerlijk (zuurdesem + authentieke Italiaanse ingredienten!) en de tiramisu was een perfecte afsluiter. Al onze gasten waren…
