FOODTRUCK · BELGIUM, FRANCE, LUXEMBOURG, THE NETHERLANDS & GERMANY
A christening or a communion brings three generations around the same table, usually for a whole afternoon. A counter of pastéis de nata opening mid-afternoon gives the day a second high point, without adding anything to your organisation.

In Portugal a christening rarely ends without pastéis de nata on the table. In Brussels the Portuguese community knows this, and it is often a grandmother who suggests the truck. For Belgian families the effect is different: it is a discovery, and it goes down better than a croquembouche nobody finishes. We make no folkloric argument of it, there is no costume and no music: just the pastry and the counter.
At a christening the family photograph is almost always taken in the same place: in front of the entrance, just after the ceremony, with the baby in the middle. The truck should not be in that frame, unless you want it there. Tell us where you plan to line the group up and we park elsewhere. It is a detail, but exactly the kind that cannot be corrected once the day is over.
The gap always sits in the same place: the ceremony ends around noon, the table is not served until 1.30 pm, and guests wait standing on a forecourt. That is where the truck finds its place, for three quarters of an hour, while the photographs are taken. Families often ask us to park outside the hall rather than outside the church, to avoid blocking the exit and mixing two ceremonies.
A christening gathers grandparents, adults and a lot of children, and consumption is very uneven. One piece per child, two per adult, and some margin for those who come back: that gives roughly 100 pieces for forty people. Portuguese families take more, out of habit. It is a celebration where surplus is easily shared, unlike a late wedding.
May communions and secular youth celebrations are logistically very alike: a Saturday or Sunday lunchtime, a community hall or a garden, between thirty and eighty people. The dates cluster on four weekends, which makes late booking hard. If your celebration falls in May, book in March.
Grandparents, adults, children: a pastel de nata needs no explaining and divides nobody. It is eaten by hand, with no cutlery. That is exactly what a celebration needs when guests drift between the garden, the hall and the coffee table.
We park outside the function room, in the driveway of a family home or on the car park of a restaurant that allows it. We need the venue’s agreement and a reachable spot; the rest is on us. For inner courtyards and narrow access, the Velo Truck is the answer.
For a family gathering of fifty, allow around 150 pieces: two per adult and a little more for children, who come back. The minimum order is 100 pieces, in steps of 100, and every 100 pieces includes one hour on site: enough to cover a whole afternoon.
For the celebration cake, you can also order a christening or communion cake.

A pastel de nata is eaten in two bites, which already suits children from three or four. We do not cut the pieces and we do not offer a smaller format.
Yes, and it is the most requested slot for a christening. We arrive half an hour before service and leave once the hours included in the order have run out.
Often yes, if a door lets us bring the counter alone inside. Tell us the door width and the floor: without a lift, above ground level, it is not possible.
Yes, and that is the most common arrangement: the caterer handles the meal, we take dessert and the afternoon break. Just tell your caterer so they do not plan a second dessert.
A few weeks is usually enough, more for a spring Saturday, which is our busiest period. The online quote gives you the price straight away, and the date is only held once payment is made.
Yes, several flavours and drinks are available in the configurator. You split the quantities between flavours yourself when ordering.
Yes, and that is the most common booking: the dessert food truck serves the dessert, not the meal. Orders start at 100 pieces, in steps of 100, at €3,90 incl. VAT per piece, transport included, from €490,00 incl. VAT in Brussels. Every 100 units includes one hour of service.
The configurator gives you the exact price, travel included, before any commitment.
