Hire a pizza food truck in Brecht
At a glance
An alternative to the spaghetti evening
Many youth movements hold an annual meal day to support their work. A wood-fired oven on the site gives that familiar moment a new twist.
Local at the forest edge
Youth clubhouses often lie on a sandy track among the pines. We check beforehand how far the truck can go and where it stands firmly.
Coping with fair crowds
On a square full of stalls and rides it has to run smoothly. Past 150 diners a second baking station runs, so the queue doesn’t reach the dodgems.
Fair on the village square
Brecht, Sint-Lenaarts, Overbroek and Sint-Job each have their own fair, with a programme that often fills a whole weekend. Between the rides, the music and the café terraces, a truck with a glowing oven is a striking sight. People who come to have a look linger for a slice of pizza and a chat.
On a square you are on public space, though. For that the party committee or association submits an application in good time to the municipality of Brecht, often together with the rest of the fair’s file. Our sheet with length, width and weight goes into that file, so the department can allocate the right spot between stalls, emergency exits and passageways.
Youth movements and their clubhouses in the green
The clubhouses of Chiro, scouts or KSA in this area often lie at the edge of the woods, reached by a sandy lane or a narrow path. Wonderful for a campfire, less straightforward for a heavy truck. So we ask you for photos of the road and the site. Sometimes we drive right up to the clubhouse, sometimes we put the truck on the paved street and the guests walk the last hundred steps.
For a meal day in aid of the group’s work, we agree the numbers and the shifts beforehand: a lunch service, an evening service or one continuous period of two to two and a half hours. The leaders needn’t cook or wash up; they can concentrate on the till, the drinks and welcoming the parents.
Everything in the truck, nothing left behind
A youth clubhouse or club building rarely has a kitchen equipped for hundreds of diners. It doesn’t need to. Our truck holds the refrigeration, its own water supply, worktops and the wood for the oven. We ask for no socket and no tap. The dough arrives after rising for two to three days, ready to be stretched by hand.
When the last pizza is out of the oven, we clean our work area and load everything back, waste included. For an association that still has a site to tidy the next morning, that is a great relief. On the square or site only the smell of wood smoke lingers for a while.
Voor mijn verjaardagsfeest heeft prestigo catering voor het eten gezorgd. Gestart met bruschetta en de focaccia - die beide in de smaak vielen bij iedereen.
Daarna de pizza’s, dit als echte pizzaliefhebber met een perfecte korst en lekker…
