How wide does the gate of our farm have to be?

We need a clear passage of at least two and a half metres. The height counts too, since some gates have a low arch. Send us a photo with the measurements; if the truck doesn’t fit, we park it just outside the gate with the hatch towards the inner courtyard.

Can the truck stand in our orchard after a rainy week?

We prefer to decide that together, shortly before the event. Wet loam can be too soft for a heavy truck. If so, we pick a paved avenue, the yard or the courtyard. Guests can still eat and wander among the trees.

Do we need to provide water or power at the farm?

No, the truck runs entirely on its own supplies, with water, refrigeration, work surfaces and wood on board. You don’t need to run cables through the stables or free up a tap. We only ask for a level spot that we can reach with the truck.

What do we need for a food truck on a square in Sint-Truiden?

For a spot on public space, the city’s occupation permit is yours to request as organiser, with our technical sheet enclosed. We also agree on the arrival time together, because the oven takes a solid ninety minutes to heat before the first pizza.

Hire a pizza food truck in Sint-Truiden

A pizza food truck in Sint-Truiden often drives into a square farmstead, through a gate built for horse and cart. We look at that access up front, so the truck with its oven for wood-fired pizza slips smoothly into place.

Gate and courtyard

A Haspengouw farm gate is not always wide or high enough. With a photo and the measurements we know beforehand whether the truck fits through.

Loam after rain

Wet loam turns slippery and soft. When in doubt, we choose a paved courtyard or yard rather than the meadow among the fruit trees.

In the middle of town

For an event in the centre of Sint-Truiden, the technical sheet we provide backs up the public-space permit you request as organiser.

Through the gate of a square farmstead

In Haspengouw many farms are built as a closed square: farmhouse, stables and barns around an inner courtyard, with one big gate as the entrance. That courtyard is a wonderful spot for a food truck, sheltered from the wind and surrounded by old brick. But the gate was once built for horse and cart, not for a truck with a wood-fired oven on board.

That is why, for every request at a farm, we ask for a photo of the gate, preferably with its width and height. We need a clear passage of at least two and a half metres. If the gate is too narrow or too low, we park the truck just outside the square, with the hatch facing the courtyard. Guests notice little of this.

In the courtyard itself we pick the most level patch, usually beside one of the barns. The oven gives off smoke, so it never stands under a closed roof. If the courtyard is cobbled, the surface stays firm, even after a shower. We bring water, refrigeration, work surfaces and firewood, so we never need to touch the farm’s pipes.

Loam, orchard and meadow

Beyond the courtyard the loam begins, and it needs attention. After a dry spell a meadow among the fruit trees is firm enough, but a heavy downpour makes it slippery and soft. A heavy truck can then sink in or leave ruts in the owner’s grass. That is why we consult right up to shortly before the event about the best spot.

In the orchard itself we also watch the trees: low-hanging branches can catch the truck, especially with old standard trees. A paved avenue or a yard at the edge of the orchard is often the ideal solution. That way the truck stands among the greenery without anyone having to worry about the ground or the harvest.

Events in the centre of Sint-Truiden

The centre revolves around a spacious Grote Markt, with the town hall and belfry on one side and the abbey close by. At markets, street fairs and city festivals, a food truck stands there on public space, and the city then has to give its approval. You request that approval as organiser; we deliver the technical sheet that accompanies the file.

For public events we bake at a high tempo. Pizza by the slice moves fast across the hatch, and with 150 or more visitors we run a second baking station as well. The sourdough rests for two to three days and stays light, even for anyone coming back for another. The service itself is over in about two hours or a touch more, after which the square is left empty and free of waste.

Wij hebben Prestigio ingeschakeld voor onze huwelijksreceptie in onze tuin (voor plus minus 85 personen). Alle communicatie vooraf was zeer duidelijk en snel. De dag zelf verliep alles super vlot: het opstellen van de tent, werkblad en…
