Looking to hire a food truck in Leiden for a festival or event? Potaé brings a kumpir food truck to your site and serves fresh XXL baked potatoes that visitors load themselves: vegan, vegetarian, chicken or tuna. One truck that keeps young and old, meat eaters and vegans happy. We travel across the Netherlands, Leiden included.
At a festival or outdoor event, the mood lives or dies on the food. Long queues for something only half the crowd can eat is the last thing you want. Potaé is the first and only dedicated kumpir chain in the Netherlands, and our food truck is built around one dish that nearly everyone enjoys and that you can vary endlessly.
What does the kumpir food truck serve?
Kumpir is a Turkish-style XXL baked potato: oven-baked, whipped creamy inside with butter and cheese, then loaded with fresh salads and toppings. From the truck, visitors build their own potato. They pick the base and assemble the toppings at a fresh salad bar. Warm, filling and familiar, yet a step up from the usual festival stall.
Why a food truck works for events in Leiden
Leiden is a student city with a lively events calendar. Think outdoor festivals, student introduction week, markets in the historic centre along the canals and, of course, Leidens Ontzet on 3 October, one of the biggest public celebrations in the country. With crowds like that you need food that is quick to serve and works for a broad, international audience.
The kumpir food truck fits right in. One concept, plenty of variety, and well suited to the many visitors with different dietary needs that a university city like Leiden draws. See where we turn up at festivals and our wider catering.
For everyone on site
The truck serves every diet from the same window:
- Vegan, with plant-based toppings and salads;
- Vegetarian, generous by design because kumpir is naturally veg-forward;
- Chicken for the hearty eater;
- Tuna as a fresh, protein-rich option.
So nobody at your event has to hunt for a stand that has something they can actually eat. The full line-up is on the menu.
