Truck Story
The story of The Firebird Oven
Our truck was hand-built by Rich and Lyn from The English Caravan Company who specialise in teardrop caravan pods and caravan catering conversions. After explaining what we wanted, they designed and hand-built the trailer from scratch, insulated our 1m oven inside and even hand-turned the wooden side-lights.
Make & Model
It is a hand-built 1950s-style teardrop caravan trailer with a wood-fired oven built into it.
Specialty
We specialise in wood-fired dishes - this can be anything from Neapolitan-style pizzas, to box-baked camembert, to slow-roasted meat brioche rolls. We are very flexible in our menu so usually work with what fits the event the best. We also do private artisan bread-making, wood-fired cooking and pizza-making classes for events or celebrations.
Ideal Customer
Anyone who appreciates locally and ethically sourced food that we take time and care over to prepare….! For example, our pizza dough takes 3 days to make and we take a lot of care over the selection of our ingredients, plus our pizzas our hand-stretched and then baked right in front of the customer - so anyone who loves how much we're putting into their food is always very much appreciated!
Self Supporting
Yes
Signature Dish
Probably our pizzas (we are trained artisan bakers so our dough is 100% sourdough and the perfect blend of soft chew and crust!) or our slow-roasted meat rolls. We slow-roast our pulled pork in our oven for 7 hours and it tastes delicious!
Private Events
Yes. For more information please contact TruckStopToday
Favourite Place
We don't have one favourite place - part of why we love what we do is the chance to attend different events, markets and festivals and meet all sorts of different, lovely people!
