Hire a pizza food truck in Berlaar
At a glance
Meadow, yard or hard standing
The truck prefers firm ground. If the meadow is wet, we choose a spot together at the edge of the yard or on the driveway.
A centrepiece for the party
A truck with a glowing oven in open country stands out. Guests can see from their car where the food comes from.
Nothing to connect
Water, refrigeration and worktops are inside the truck. You need not run extension cables across the grass or turn on a tap.
The soil in the Nete valley and what it means
Berlaar lies in the valley of the Grote Nete, and you feel it underfoot. Meadows on the river side stay boggy for a long time after a wet week, while the higher sandy ground towards Heist dries out faster. A food truck weighs considerably more than a tent. That is why we check every standing place with you first, preferably using recent photos.
If the meadow is firm and flat, the truck simply drives onto it. If you are unsure, we park it in the yard, on the driveway or on a strip beside the road, with the marquee right next to it. For the approach we want a width of at least 2.5 metres without low branches, since a pollard willow on a narrow country lane can hang surprisingly far into the way.
Why a truck works at a marquee party
At a marquee party, space inside the tent is precious. With a food truck all the baking stays outside: the oven, the dough, the refrigeration and the worktop are in the vehicle itself. That leaves more room indoors for tables and a dance floor, and no smoke hangs over the party.
The truck also acts as a beacon. At a party where not all guests know each other, the truck’s hatch becomes the meeting point. People strike up a conversation while waiting for a slice with spicy salumi or a margherita. Children stand on tiptoe to peer into the oven, which soon makes the truck the most popular spot in the meadow.
Planning and how the day runs
Schedule the truck’s arrival for around ninety minutes before you want your first guests to eat. In that time we fire up the oven and set everything out. Baking then continues for a couple of hours, with a little extra if the party runs on. The oven on board can carry about a hundred and fifty people; bigger ones get another baking station.
On private land in Berlaar you need no permit for the truck. If you want it on a public spot, for example for a neighbourhood party on a municipal lawn, the organiser needs to request a permit to use public space. For that we send you a sheet with length, width and weight, so the department at the Berlaar town hall knows straight away what it is dealing with.
Wij hadden een heel fijn communiefeest met dank aan Prestigio Catering. De communicatie vooraf verliep heel vlot en duidelijk en ook de dag zelf was alles tot in de puntjes geregeld, waardoor we zorgeloos konden genieten van het feest…
