Do you travel to us?
Of course! And gladly, in person. Anywhere in Belgium and the Netherlands.
What is included?
Fresh bread and homemade spicy olive oil, the fornacella (the barbecue) with charcoal and all the equipment, the work (before, during and after the event) and the travel. The arrosticini themselves come on top and depend on which kinds and how many you order.
Do you stay for the whole event?
Yes. I arrive an hour early to get everything ready. The grilling itself takes as long as it needs to. Everything is agreed in advance.
What exactly are arrosticini?
Small skewers of finely cut meat, grilled over a narrow grill filled with glowing charcoal. They come from Abruzzo, the region my family is from. Nothing goes on them but salt. The fire does the rest.
Can we combine several kinds?
That is exactly what most people do. Lamb as the base, chicken (breaded), some Black Angus and a batch of vegetarian ones. Put down what you think you need in your request and I will help you get the balance right.
Is there a vegetarian option?
Yes, homemade falafel skewers, off the same grill and made with the same care. Tell me in your request how many vegetarians you are expecting, and I will plan for them.
What about allergies?
The meat gets nothing but salt. The bread and the chicken arrosticini contain gluten, and the olive oil is spicy. If anyone has an allergy, put it in the extra info box of your request and I will look at it with you.
How many arrosticini should I count on per person?
That depends on whether they are the nibble with the aperitif or the main meal, and whether anything else is on the table. Tell me in your request how many of you there are and what it should be, and I will work out the numbers with you. Ordering too few is the only real mistake you can make. As a nibble I usually recommend 6 pieces, and as a meal 12 pieces on average. Unless… there are big eaters around. My craziest event was 1000 arrosticini for 30 people. Nothing was left
What does it cost?
There are no fixed prices on the site, because no two parties are the same. It depends on the number of people, the location and exactly what you want (kinds and quantities). You ask for a quote without obligation and I come back with a tailored price.
How do I ask for a quote?
Through the form on the quote page. You fill in what you know, and the site prepares your request as a message. You send it yourself, from your own mail app or via WhatsApp, so you see exactly what goes out. You can of course also call 0497159724.
