Can the food truck stand on my driveway in Gerpinnes?

Often, yes, if the driveway is level and firm enough and the entrance wide enough. Paving stones and asphalt are ideal; gravel usually works too. Low branches or a narrow gate can spoil things, so send us photos of the entrance beforehand.

Do I need a permit for the truck in front of my house?

Not if it stands on your own driveway or in your garden. If it has to stand on the public road or pavement, the Gerpinnes town hall issues the permit to use public space; you apply, and we send the truck’s technical sheet for the file.

Is the truck suitable for a school fair or club day in Gerpinnes?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. The truck works independently, bakes continuously and serves groups at pace. Above about 150 visitors we provide a second baking station. If the ground lies outside public space, no permit has to be requested.

How much space does the food truck need?

Count on a flat, hard pitch big enough for the truck, with a clear approach at least two and a half metres wide. We keep room free around the truck for the queue. The exact dimensions are on the technical sheet, which we send with the proposal.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Gerpinnes

Pizza food truck hire in Gerpinnes

A pizza food truck at the kerb of your villa or on the grounds of the local football club: in Gerpinnes it is a striking sight. The truck pulls up, bakes under its own power and leaves without a trace.

Wide drives, leafy lanes

Many villas in Gerpinnes have a generous driveway. That is often the best place for the truck, leaving the garden free for your guests and their chairs.

School fairs and club days

At a school fair, youth tournament or club day, the truck delivers a quick hot meal without volunteers having to man the hotplate themselves.

Gone without a trace

Once the last pizza is served we sweep the pitch and take the rubbish with us, so the driveway or club ground looks well kept again.

The truck at your door

Gerpinnes is a municipality of villas behind hedges, with drives of paving stones or gravel and gardens that sometimes slope steeply. For a private party we prefer to put the truck on the driveway or a paved area beside the house. That keeps the lawn free for tables and playing children, and puts the oven on firm, level ground.

Watch out for low branches, narrow gates and sharp bends in the approach: a truck needs more room than a family car. Allow a clear width of at least two and a half metres. A few photos of the street, your driveway and the intended pitch tell us beforehand whether the truck will get there easily.

For schools, clubs and associations

Besides private parties, Gerpinnes has an active association life: sports clubs, youth movements, school committees and the groups preparing for the annual march around Whitsun. At a club party or school fête a food truck is practical: volunteers do not have to work the grill, and anyone hungry can join the queue when it suits. On such a day parents, children and supporters mingle, and not everyone wants to eat at the same moment.

A sports club’s grounds are often private, and then no permit is needed. If you use a street, square or municipal car park, the Gerpinnes municipal authority has to approve a permit to use public space, obtained by the organiser; we provide the technical sheet. With more than 150 people eating, we put a second baking station alongside.

Everything is in the truck

A food truck is only convenient if it asks little of the venue. Our truck therefore arrives in Gerpinnes carrying water tanks, refrigeration, worktops and a supply of logs. The ingredients come straight from Italy, the dough has had days to rise, and on site the team stretches each pizza before it disappears into the flames.

We turn into the street well before the first pizza, around ninety minutes early, to fire the oven. Across a baking session of about two hours, sometimes a little longer, we keep a brisk pace, with vegetarian options as standard and gluten-free or vegan pizzas on request. Afterwards we leave the spot clean.
