Do we have to apply for a separate permit for the food truck?

Include the truck in the application for your street party to the municipality of Malle. We provide the sheet with dimensions and weight. That way no separate file is needed.

Can the truck stand in a narrow street in Oostmalle?

Once the crowd barriers are up and 2.5 metres remain between parked bikes and tables, it usually works. Beforehand we look at trees, bollards and bends on the approach route.

Do you need power from the neighbours?

Not at all. We fire with wood, cool with what is in the truck itself, and carry water in tanks. The socket at number twelve therefore stays free for the sound system and the tap.

What if it rains on our street party?

The truck is covered and keeps baking. For the neighbours themselves we recommend a party tent over the tables, so everyone can eat dry.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Oostmalle

Pizza food truck for your street party in Oostmalle

A street in Oostmalle closed off for a Saturday, with tables on the tarmac and children on bikes: a pizza food truck belongs there. We park in the middle of the party and keep baking until the last neighbour goes indoors.

In the middle of the street

The truck stands in the closed-off section of the street, with its hatch facing the party tables. Everyone can see and smell where the food comes from.

No cable to the neighbours

Nobody has to push an extension lead through their letterbox. Water, refrigeration and worktops are in the truck.

Sheet for the municipality

A street party needs permission from the municipality of Malle. The truck’s dimensions and weight that you need for it come from us.

Street parties and neighbourhood receptions in Oostmalle

Oostmalle has a lively village life. Several streets and districts organise a neighbourhood party each year, with a bouncy castle, a tap and long tables on the carriageway. The food is often the biggest task: who mans the barbecue, who fetches the bread rolls, who clears up? A food truck takes that whole part over.

With the truck in the middle of the street, the party also gains a centre. Neighbours who only know each other by a nod start chatting in the queue at the hatch. Children press their noses against the counter to watch the balls of dough disappear into the oven. And the organisers can finally sit down at a table themselves.

Permission and set-up on the public road

Closing a street for a party is only possible with permission from the municipality of Malle, and the food truck belongs in that application. State where it will stand and attach the sheet you get from us, with length, width and weight. That way the municipality knows at once what is coming onto its road surface.

On the day itself we drive in before the crowd barriers finally close, preferably at a time we fix together. Residents’ cars are best already elsewhere: we need a level stretch of road surface and a gap of 2.5 metres between the kerbs to get in. We look at trees along the pavement beforehand: a low branch above the carriageway is quickly forgotten.

How long, and for how many neighbours

We arrive well ahead, a good ninety minutes before the neighbours sit down, to get the oven up to heat; from then on pizza rolls out for a couple of hours. For a street with some hundred and fifty residents and friends the oven in the truck keeps pace; for a bigger district we put a second station beside it.

Pizza à volonté in slices is ideal for a street party: nobody has to choose or order, the slices go round as long as there is hunger. Vegetarian pizzas are always among them. For neighbours with a gluten allergy or vegan diet we bake separately on request. Afterwards we drive away with all our rubbish, so the street is free again.
