Pizza catering on the Villerslei in Schoten
At a glance
From drawing room to the far end
A townhouse on the avenue leads your guests through the house to the terrace and then on across the lawn, where the oven glows.
Reception at home
A retirement, a promotion or a birthday with friends: the aperitivo by the oven turns a reception at home into an evening.
Compact, yet complete
A working tent three metres wide is enough. That leaves room in a deep but narrow garden for guests and tables.
Townhouses with a long back garden
The Villerslei is one of the classic residential axes of Schoten. Townhouses and villas stand side by side along a broad tree-lined avenue, often with a drive at the side and a garden that runs a long way behind the house. People who live here like to entertain at home: the drawing room for the speech, the terrace for the glass, the garden for the party.
That architecture shapes how an evening goes. Guests enter by the front door, leave their coats in the hall and are led to the back. They only see the oven when they step onto the terrace, at the far end of the garden, with the smoke rising above the hedge. It is a short walk that sparks curiosity.
A reception that turns into a dinner
Many parties on the Villerslei begin as a reception. Glasses are clinked on the terrace with an Aperol or prosecco, and focaccia from the oven goes round with some antipasti and bruschetta. Anyone who has prepared a speech gives it now, with the drawing-room doors open so everyone can listen in.
Then the company moves into the garden. Here, pizza à volonté means ever new slices on the tables under the trees, from a simple margherita to something with grilled vegetables or salami piccante. Nobody is tied to a fixed place. When the garden lights flick on, tiramisu and cannoli appear, and a bottle of limoncello for those who stay.
Access via the drive, set-up at the back
The drive beside the house is usually the way to the back. Our equipment needs a passage 2.5 metres wide; a gate between garage and neighbours is often just enough. If it can only go through the house, we look at an alternative together. The oven burns wood and stands in the open air, on a level patch of lawn or terrace.
In a row of townhouses the neighbours are close, so we watch the wind direction and keep the smoke away from their terrace. Anyone eating vegetarian finds flavours in the rounds as standard; anyone avoiding gluten or animal products gets, on request, a pizza made in a screened-off corner of our tent. One oven bakes more than enough for most parties on the avenue, up to around a hundred and fifty guests.
Met veel plezier schrijf ik deze referentie voor Prestigio Catering dat de pizza’s verzorgde op ons tuinfeest. Vanaf het eerste contact tot de laatste pizza was alles tot in de puntjes geregeld.
