Can the truck stand on our farmyard if it has rained?

On concrete or cobbles that is no problem. A grass strip or earth yard can be too soft for the truck’s weight after rain. We look beforehand at the firmest spot and adapt the set-up to it.

Can the wood-fired oven stand inside our barn?

Sadly not: a wood fire in a closed barn isn’t possible, the smoke must be able to escape freely. We park the truck outside by the open barn door, so your guests can stay inside and the pizza still reaches the table fresh and hot.

Is there anything we must apply for when the party is on our own farm?

No, on private land no permit is needed for the truck. Only on a square or the carriageway is a permit to use public space required, and the organiser applies for that themselves at the local council.

How many guests can you serve at a barn party?

From an intimate barn party with thirty friends to a farm day with hundreds of visitors. Above a hundred and fifty we put an extra baking station next to the truck. We tune the menu to your audience: vegetarian is always included, vegan or gluten-free on request.

Hire a pizza food truck in Malle

A barn party on a Kempen farm, an open day for the farmers or a village party in Oostmalle: our pizza food truck in Malle likes best to stand on a farmyard, next to the big barn door, where everyone can see it.

Next to the barn door

The truck stands outside by the open door, the revellers inside or on the farmyard. That keeps the smoke outdoors and the pizza close.

Farmyard without connections

On a farm, electricity or water isn’t always nearby. We have our own on board, together with refrigeration, worktops and wood.

Two villages, one truck

Whether the party is in Oostmalle or Westmalle, we plan the drive along the country roads with a generous margin, so the fire is burning before your guests are there.

The farmyard as a party venue

Anyone throwing a big party in Malle soon thinks of a farm. The Kempen farmyards are spacious, the barns large and the neighbours far away. A birthday, a wedding party or an association’s anniversary automatically gets a rural, cosy atmosphere there. Our truck then comes onto the farmyard and positions itself beside the barn, with the serving side facing the revellers.

The ground on a farmyard is rarely the same everywhere. There is concrete by the stables, cobbles by the old farmhouse and packed earth or grass in between. We always choose the firmest spot, preferably paved, and avoid meadows that can turn soft after rain. A photo of the farmyard beforehand avoids surprises.

Smoke outside, guests inside

A barn party often takes place indoors, certainly in changeable weather. The wood-fired oven, however, always needs outdoor air. That is why we park the truck outside by the open barn door: the smell of wood drifts in, the smoke rises up and your guests collect their pizza without getting wet. A canopy or party tent next to it completes the picture.

In this way the truck remains the visual centre, even if the party takes place inside. Children run back and forth to see how the pizzas come out of the oven, adults stop for a chat with the pizzaiolo. It works like a second bar, but with hot food.

Village parties and associations

Beyond the farms too there is plenty to celebrate in Malle: fairs, neighbourhood parties, school parties and events of sports clubs and youth movements. If the truck stands on the association’s own ground, you needn’t apply for anything. If the party committee opts for the village square or a street, the municipality’s permit to use public space is a must; you simply add our technical sheet to the file.

When the turnout is big, beyond 150 people, we deploy a second baking station. That keeps the waiting time short and the quality high. Afterwards everything goes back into the truck, waste included; the volunteers can therefore concentrate entirely on their own tasks. If you want to tune the menu to the fair crowd, think along about the flavours beforehand: classics for the children, something spicier for the late hours.

Nogmaals bedankt voor het verzorgen van de catering bij ons huwelijksfeest afgelopen 29 augustus. Alles ging volgens afspraak en was zeer verzorgd. Ook onze gasten hebben gesmuld en waren bijzonder lovend. Bedankt, Linda & Johnny
