Can the food truck drive right up to our group lodge in the woods?

With an access road 2.5 metres wide and no loose sand, usually yes. Send us photos or a sketch of the route, and we will see whether the truck can reach the building or is better off staying on the car park.

Does the group lodge have to provide a kitchen or electricity?

No. The truck runs on wood and has its own water, refrigeration and worktops. The lodge’s kitchen therefore stays free for the next morning’s breakfast.

Do you also bake for a youth camp with eighty children?

Certainly. There is no minimum number of guests, and for a group like that the truck’s oven is enough. We then choose flavours that children like to eat and make sure the leaders get a proper meal too.

What if it rains during our event in Kasterlee?

The truck is covered and can simply keep baking. For guests we recommend a tent or covered area nearby, so they can eat dry. At a group lodge that is often the dining hall.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Kasterlee

Pizza food truck for events in Kasterlee

Every weekend Kasterlee draws walkers, cyclists, kayakers and groups renting a stay in the countryside. Our pizza food truck drives out to those places and bakes without needing a kitchen or a connection anywhere near.

Deep in the green too

A group lodge or clearing in the forest rarely has a kitchen. The truck carries water, refrigeration and wood, and bakes anywhere.

Tourist crowds allowed for

On summer weekends the roads around Kasterlee and Lichtaart are busy. We plan the journey generously, so the oven is hot on time.

Groups served smoothly

At a youth camp, team-building day or family day in a group lodge, the truck keeps a steady rhythm, with a second oven for really big groups.

A tourist municipality with many group venues

Few municipalities in Flanders are as geared to visitors as Kasterlee. Bobbejaanland is in Lichtaart, the Kleine Nete is popular with kayakers and the forests around the Hoge Mouw attract walkers. Add to that a good many group lodges, camp sites and holiday estates. Anyone housing a group in Kasterlee soon looks for a way to feed everybody at once.

A food truck solves that without anyone from the group having to cook. It drives right up to where the group is staying and instantly becomes the gathering point. After a day on the water or in the woods, a wood-fired oven is ready and turning out hot pizzas. For youth groups it is also an experience to watch the dough being stretched.

Baking at a location with no facilities

The truck is built so that it needs nothing from the location. We arrive with our own water, worktops, refrigeration and enough wood. On an open spot in an estate, beside a group lodge or on a meadow at the forest edge, it can therefore work completely independently. What we do need is firm, level ground and an access road with 2.5 metres of width.

Forest ground in Kasterlee is mostly sandy. On a track that vehicles already use, the truck stands firmly, but in loose sand it can sink. So choose a paved car park or a solid strip of grass if you can. When in doubt we talk it through beforehand, based on photos of the access road and the intended spot.

Permits and planning in the high season

The grounds of a group lodge are private, so the operator’s agreement is all that is needed. A village party on a square in Tielen is different: there the festival committee asks the municipality of Kasterlee for permission to use that piece of public space. For that form you take the truck’s dimensions and weight from our technical sheet.

In the summer months the roads to Kasterlee and Lichtaart are busy. That is why we set out earlier than on a weekday: the oven has to be burning about ninety minutes before the meal, whatever the traffic jam at Bobbejaanland. After that the oven keeps going for something like two hours. Groups beyond roughly a hundred and fifty are given a second baking station.
