Can the truck stand in a meadow with a slight slope?

We can sometimes compensate for a gentle incline, but the oven and worktops must be level. Send us photos of the spot; often we find a flatter area closer to the driveway or on a hard-surfaced strip.

We are organising a village fête in an outlying village. Who applies for the permit?

The organising committee or association does, at its own municipality. We provide the truck’s technical details, so the department handling the request knows straight away how much space we take up.

Do we need to provide electricity or a tap in the meadow?

No. What we need travels with us: a water tank, chilled drawers, worktops and a stack of wood. Easy access and a stable pitch are the only things we really ask for. That is why it works just as well in a meadow or at a woodland edge with no connections.

Do you also drive to the south of the province, towards the Ardennes?

Yes, we work throughout Belgium. For venues in the south we allow extra travel time, especially when the final stretch follows narrow roads or runs through a valley. That way the oven is hot on time.

Pizza food truck hire in the province of Namur

A pizza food truck that carries its own water, refrigeration and firewood is no luxury in the province of Namur: many party venues sit far from a kitchen, in a meadow or on a village square.

Everything on board

Water, worktops, cooling and firewood come along in the truck. Whether the site has a kitchen or a power point makes no difference to our baking.

Ready for hills

From the quays along the Meuse to a farm on the Condroz plateau, we look at slopes, bends and how much weight the ground will bear.

A sheet for the municipality

If you are standing on public space, you apply for the permit to use it. We supply the technical sheet, even when the local council works in French.

From Gembloux to Gesves: a different approach in every area

Around Gembloux and Eghezée the ground is flat and the roads are wide; parking a truck beside a barn or in a farmyard comes naturally there. South of the Meuse that changes. In the Condroz near Ciney and Gesves we drive along winding country lanes between hedges, and anyone celebrating in the Meuse valley or along the Lesse often faces steep driveways.

That is why we ask, with every request, what the last few metres look like. Is there a sharp bend, a low gate or a bridge with a weight limit? Does the meadow sit lower than the road? With that information we choose a firm, level pitch together, where the truck stands steady and visitors can walk up to it easily.

A truck at the heart of the village fête

At a funfair, a cycling race or a flea market in one of Namur’s outlying villages, the truck instantly becomes the landmark. People see the flames behind the hatch and wander over on their own. We turn it with the counter facing the square, leaving enough room for a queue that does not block the way for emergency services.

For public events we work with a compact menu, so the pace stays high when lots of people arrive at once. For a crowd above 150, we add a second baking station. That way nobody queues for long, even when the sun goes down and the whole village gets hungry at the same moment.

What the organiser arranges, and what we bring

A farm or château estate counts as private land, so the truck needs no permit there. On a village square, a car park or a street it is different: there the committee has to obtain, from the town hall, the permit that covers use of public space. In Wallonia this usually runs in French; our technical sheet with dimensions and weight makes the file simpler.

We bring the rest. The crew turns up well ahead of time, lets the wood burn down properly and only starts baking once the oven floor has reached the right temperature. After service we sweep the pitch and take our waste back with us, so the square or farmyard looks tidy again the next morning.

Wij hebben heel lekker gegeten. Elk pizza afgewerkt tot in detail. Met veel passie gemaakt. Zeer vriendelijk mensen. Zelfs onze klein kinderen zijn in de watten gelegd. Super fijn. Absoluut een aanrader👌🏻
