Can the food truck stand on the Oosteroever for a company party?

If it is your own site, no permit is needed and a firm, level spot in the open air will do. On city land it is different: a permit to use public space is required, which you apply for. The technical part of that file, the truck’s sheet, comes from us.

How do you deal with wind on an open quay?

By the water it often blows hard. We position the truck so the oven smoke drifts away from visitors and the serving hatch is out of the wind. In bad weather a party tent beside the truck gives shelter to anyone waiting.

Are you also available outside the summer season?

Yes. In autumn and winter, too, there are company parties, year-end receptions and club parties in Ostend. The wood-fired oven then gives off welcome extra warmth. We plan the set-up with a bit more attention to rain and early darkness.

How long does the truck stay at an event?

Serving itself takes around two hours, two and a half at most. Before that we need about ninety minutes to fire up the oven, and afterwards we clear away. For longer public events we make separate arrangements about shifts and stock in the proposal.

Pizza food truck hire in Ostend

Along the quays, on the Oosteroever or beside a sports hall in Stene: a pizza food truck suits the port city of Ostend, where events often take place in the open air and draw big crowds.

On quay and car park

The truck likes hard standing, such as a quay, a company car park or a square. There it sits stable and catches the eye straight away.

Seasonal crowds anticipated

In summer Ostend fills up. We plan the drive in and unloading outside rush hour, especially near the sea wall and the station.

Autonomous by the water

Water tank, refrigeration, work surfaces and wood are on board, so on an open site by the harbour you have nothing to connect or hire.

A port city that celebrates outdoors

Ostend is more than a seaside resort. The harbour, the fish auction, the marina and the companies on the Oosteroever give the city a working side, and you can see that in its events. Maritime festivals, sporting contests along the water, company parties in sheds or car parks: wherever people gather outside, the truck can pull up.

A food truck has a practical advantage here. It sits in one fixed place, brings everything with it and doesn’t have to squeeze through a narrow garden gate. For a staff party at a port company or a club party at a sailing association, a firm, level strip in the open air is enough, ideally with some room for visitors to queue.

Public space and permits in Ostend

Many Ostend events take place on public ground: a square, a quay, a stretch of the promenade. Whoever organises there submits an application to the city administration to use the space. We send along the technical sheet with the truck’s dimensions, weight and layout, so the file is complete when it lands with the events department.

We also agree access and parking in advance. Neither the sea wall nor the streets behind it are always passable, and during large events separate arrangements often apply. By fixing the arrival time and route beforehand, the truck is ready well ahead of time and nobody has to hunt for a way through at the last minute.

Pace when the crowd arrives in waves

At a public event visitors don’t arrive evenly spread: after a match, at sunset, when the concert ends. We allow for that with a menu of pizzas that bake fast. Vegetarians always find something; a vegan or gluten-free version is possible on request, prepared in a separate zone to avoid cross-contamination.

A single oven keeps pace for up to roughly a hundred and fifty diners. If you expect more people, a second baking station is added. Afterwards we sweep the pitch and carry every bin bag back out, until the quay or car park looks just as we found it.
