Pizza food truck for parties in Nijlen
At a glance
Relieves the volunteers
No fryer or barbecue that a committee member must watch all evening. We bake, slice and clear up.
On the village green too
A club ground or playground is rarely paved. On soft ground we agree a plan in advance for a firm place to stand.
Paperwork prepared
Should the truck be parked in the street or on a square, you get the technical sheet from us for the municipal permit application.
Club life as the engine of the village
Nijlen, Kessel and Bevel each have their own football team, youth movement, brass band and neighbourhood committee. These groups keep the villages lively, and they depend in part on the proceeds of their own parties. For a committee that has to pull off an evening for two hundred people with a handful of volunteers, the food is often the heaviest part.
A food truck takes that worry away. The truck arrives with everything on board: water, refrigeration, worktops, wood and the team. The volunteers can stay behind the bar or work the till. We make sure the pizzas keep coming, slice by slice, so even latecomers still get something hot.
Where the truck can stand in Nijlen
The club’s own ground or a farmer’s meadow, when he opens up his yard, remains private land, and then nobody has to apply for anything from the municipality. A square, a municipal car park or a closed-off street is another matter. In that case the club board or committee submits an application to use public space to the municipality of Nijlen, with our dimensions and technical details attached.
Mind the access too. Keep the approach route free to a width of 2.5 metres, with no low branches or bollards in the way. A grass field is no problem in dry weather, but after a wet week it is smarter to put the truck on hard standing at the edge. Photos of the site help us decide that beforehand.
Keeping things flowing on a full night
A dinner night has peak moments: everyone wants to eat at seven o’clock. That is why we plan the number of ovens around your expected turnout. For crowds of about a hundred and fifty the truck’s oven is sufficient; bigger evenings get a second baking station on top. A Neapolitan pizza bakes in the wood-fired oven in a minute and a half, which keeps the queue moving.
While the volunteers are still dragging tables about, we are already there: we fire the oven for some ninety minutes beforehand, until the dome turns white. After that the pizzas flow for a couple of hours, perhaps a little longer. If you work with tokens or your own till, you arrange that yourselves; we concentrate on baking and hygiene behind the counter.
Wij hebben Prestigio bij ons gehad tijdens een avond thuis met vrienden. Dit is bij iedereen aanwezig geweldig onthaald. Ze waren netjes op tijd om op te bouwen, waren tijdig klaar, het ging ook snel genoeg en iedereen had voldoende en…
