Can the food truck stand on a campsite in the Lesse valley?

Yes, if the manager agrees and the access is wide enough. As a campsite is private land, no permit is involved. We do ask for photos of the access road and the pitch, because valley roads are often narrow.

We are coming with a school group of more than a hundred pupils. Will that run smoothly?

Certainly. We work with a compact menu and bake at a tight rhythm. Above 150 people an extra baking station joins. Vegetarian pizzas are ready as standard; pass on other dietary needs beforehand.

Will you speak directly with the French-speaking manager of our group lodging?

Gladly. Give us the contact details and we will settle access, pitch and hours directly. That saves you a lot of back-and-forth emailing, and we know for certain everything is right on the day itself.

What if it rains during our outing?

Your group will then need a dry place to eat. A party tent, covered terrace or a barn belonging to the lodging will do. We agree that beforehand, so a shower does not throw the meal into disarray.

Hire a pizza food truck in Dinant

In Dinant summer revolves around kayaking on the Lesse, terraces on the Meuse and crowds at the citadel. A pizza food truck fits in perfectly, provided the pitch is well chosen.

A crowd with an appetite

After a day paddling or walking along the cliffs, groups want to eat quickly and well. The truck keeps baking at pace, even when the queue grows long.

Narrow valley, clever spot

Between rock and river, level space is rare. Together we look for a car park, meadow or farmyard where the truck can stand stable.

A file for the city

For a pitch on public space, you submit a request to the city of Dinant. Our technical sheet makes that request concrete and complete.

The valley as an events venue

At Anseremme, just south of Dinant, the Lesse flows into the Meuse, and from spring kayaks glide through the valley. Campsites, outdoor centres and group lodgings fill up with school groups, associations and groups of friends. For an audience like that, a pizza food truck at the end of the day is an easy and sociable solution.

What the truck needs is already on board, from the water tank to a crate of dry wood. On a camping meadow or the grounds of a group lodging, we therefore need not borrow a kitchen. A firm, level spot and an approach without overly sharp bends are enough. Afterwards our waste goes with us, something managers of such sites certainly appreciate.

Team days and company outings

More and more companies head for the Ardennes valleys for a team day. After a trip on the water or a climbing activity along the cliffs, a hot meal is welcome. We put the truck where the group comes back, so the scent of wood smoke and freshly baked dough is the first thing they notice.

For larger groups we keep the menu compact and the rhythm tight. If you expect more than 150 participants, we provide an additional baking station. That way everyone eats at roughly the same time, which is useful if a programme item or a coach ride home follows the meal. Pass on any dietary needs in the group beforehand, and those pizzas will be ready when participants arrive.

Allowing for the summer crowds

In high season the quays and approach roads of Dinant are busy. We therefore plan the drive generously and discuss beforehand where we can unload and park. A campsite or estate is private land, so no paperwork is needed there. If you opt for a quayside or town square, a permit from the city comes with it, and you, as organiser, request it.

The crew arrives around ninety minutes before service. That leaves time to set the truck stable, build the fire and heat the oven to the right temperature before the first kayakers hand in their paddles. The oven then keeps going for about two hours, perhaps two and a half, enough to feed even the last group coming off the water while it is still hot.

We waren super tevreden en hadden een geweldig communiefeest! Van de hapjes, pizza’s tot de desserts, alles was tot in de puntjes in orde. Heel tevreden en een echte aanrader!
