Can the truck stand on the outdoor site of Flanders Expo?

That depends on the fair organisation and the venue, since they decide on places on their grounds. We gladly coordinate directly with them about the parking spot, access and arrival time, and provide whatever technical paperwork they need.

How do you avoid traffic jams on a trade-fair day?

We ask for the day’s programme and the expected number of visitors, and plan our arrival well outside the peak hours. That way the truck is ready and the oven hot before the first visitors come outside for a break.

Do you need a connection on the event site?

No. The truck works fully independently with its own water, refrigeration, work surfaces and firewood. So you don’t need to reserve a power point or water tap from the venue’s technical department, or have extra cables laid across the site.

How many visitors can you handle at an afterwork?

A hundred and fifty guests or so is fine for one oven. Expecting more? Then there will be a second baking station. Tell us whether the guests all come at once or spread across the evening, and we will tune the baking rhythm to it.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Sint-Denijs-Westrem

Hire a pizza food truck in Sint-Denijs-Westrem

On the E40 and the R4, around Flanders Expo and the office sites, Sint-Denijs-Westrem hosts events for a big trade-fair crowd and for small teams. Our pizza food truck stands there self-sufficient and stands out at once with its wood-fired oven.

Reachable via E40 and R4

The exhibition and office zone lies right next to the motorway. Even so, we plan around trade-fair traffic, so the truck is in position on time and without stress.

Crowd-puller on the outdoor site

On a car park or outdoor area at a fair or office, the fire in the oven draws visitors, even those who were really headed for another stand.

Big groups, short queue

Slices of pizza that leave the hatch quickly, plus an extra baking station when visitor numbers climb past 150: that keeps waiting times limited.

Exhibition grounds and office zone

Flanders Expo is Ghent’s big exhibition and events complex, and offices, showrooms and company buildings have grown up around it. That zone has wide roads, generous car parks and paved outdoor areas, which gives a food truck plenty of room to play. The truck can stand so it is visible from the entrance or the car park, with the queue in a place that keeps the thoroughfare clear.

Companies use the truck for a staff party in their own car park, the opening of a new office or an afterwork following a trade-fair day. Exhibitors and organisers choose it in turn for a moment on the outdoor site. In every case the truck is more than a place to eat: it becomes the meeting point where people bump into one another.

On private grounds, or grounds managed by the fair organisation, you make arrangements with the owner or the venue. If you choose a street or square belonging to the city, the city of Ghent’s authorisation is required, and the organiser requests it. Our technical sheet is the supporting document.

Planning around trade-fair traffic

On fair days traffic around Flanders Expo, the E40 and the R4 can seize up badly. That is why we ask for the day’s programme and plan our arrival outside peak moments. The oven wants 90 minutes of firing before it is ready, and we pin that time down together as well.

On arrival we need a level, firm spot and a free strip, 2.5 metres across, leading to our position. A parking bay at the edge of the site is often enough, if we can point the hatch towards visitors. Low canopies or barriers are the only things we like to hear about beforehand.

Fully independent amid the bustle

The truck has water, refrigeration, work surfaces and wood on board. On an exhibition site where every connection is already spoken for, that is a major advantage: we need to ask nothing of the event’s technical team. The dough, a Neapolitan sourdough that has proofed for forty-eight to seventy-two hours, is ready to be stretched.

The offering counts six to ten kinds of pizza, each cut into slices and always with a few vegetarian. Vegan and gluten-free pizzas are available on request from a separated zone, and the allergen list goes to you in advance. Once service wraps up, two hours or so in, the spot is empty and clean again; we take the waste with us.

Wij hebben onlangs gebruikgemaakt van Prestigo Catering en kunnen niet anders dan een absolute topbeoordeling geven. Vanaf het eerste contact tot het afronden van het feest was alles uitmuntend geregeld. De communicatie vooraf verliep vlot…
