How small can a garden party be?

There is no lower limit. A birthday with fifteen guests or a drink with the neighbours works perfectly. The proposal takes the number of people into account: fewer varieties at once, but the same care for every pizza that comes out of the oven.

Will the setup fit in a small town garden?

Often it does. We need a level spot for a 3×3 metre tent with open sky above for the smoke to rise. Share a picture of the garden and how to get in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works or which alternative suits better.

Can visitors drop in at different times?

They can. The baking runs for a couple of hours at an easy rhythm, so latecomers still get fresh pizza. Tell us the busiest moment and the oven will be running at full tilt at that point.

What do you bring yourselves?

The wood-fired oven, work tables, ingredients and the necessary baking equipment. Whether tables and chairs for the guests are needed too, we settle in the proposal. You provide a level spot and a usable route into the garden.

Pizza catering for a garden party or baby shower

Some parties are small on purpose: twenty people in the garden, a newborn passing from arm to arm, a summer evening that stretches on by itself. Pizza catering for a circle like that means a wood-fired oven at the back of the lawn and a crew that keeps a low profile.

No lower limit

We also come for a group of fifteen or twenty guests. Menu and baking rhythm simply scale with the size of your party.

Peace for the parents

New parents have their hands full at a baby shower. We handle the food and the clearing up, so they can give their attention to their visitors.

The garden as backdrop

A lawn, a terrace under the fruit tree or a corner behind the hedge: the oven fits into an ordinary garden, under a 3×3 metre tent.

A baby shower without stress

A baby shower is often an afternoon of coming and going: colleagues popping by, grandparents staying all day, friends with children. A fixed meal at a single time suits that badly. Pizzas that leave the oven in rounds and land on the table in pieces fit much better: whoever has just walked in can join straight away.

For the new parents the main thing is not having to arrange anything themselves. The team brings the equipment, bakes and clears its work area afterwards. Mums who are still watching their diet will always find vegetarian options, and we discuss other wishes beforehand. That way the brand-new family can simply enjoy the congratulations.

A summery garden party among close friends

A garden party with neighbours or a group of friends needs little. Sometimes an Aperitivo is enough: warm focaccia, some bruschetta, a board of antipasti. If you want more, Pizza à volonté follows with six to ten varieties, and the Full experience rounds off with tiramisu or cannoli. A bottle of Italian wine or an Aperol spritz completes the evening.

Because the group is small, the team works at a calmer pace and there is time for a chat at the oven. Guests ask how long the dough has risen, and the answer usually surprises: two to three days, on sourdough rather than yeast from a sachet. That long rise makes the base airy and easy to digest.

The oven in an ordinary back garden

Not every garden is big, and it does not need to be. What we ask for is a level patch of about three by three metres in the open air or under an open shelter, where the smoke can escape. The route into the garden must be wide enough for our equipment; with a terraced house and no side passage we work out together how to get in.

Think of the neighbours too. A wood-fired oven gives off some smoke while being lit, so we look for a spot where the wind bothers least. A note through the letterbox beforehand often works wonders, as does an invitation to a slice of pizza. When the party is over we pack up, waste included, and there is nothing left to do the next morning.

We hebben een geweldige ervaring gehad met Chloë & Mathieu van Prestigio Catering! Heerlijke pizza's met liefde bereid door 2 jonge en passievolle ondernemers. Wijzelf en onze + 40 gasten hebben enorm genoten van de authentieke smaken.…
