An Italforni Bull pizza oven, supplied by our sister company Euro Catering, received rave reviews when it was installed at The Pregnant Man in London’s Chancery Lane. The esteemed pub, which is run by Saatchi & Saatchi London, has described the pizza oven as “modern, unique and dynamic”, as well as acknowledging its popularity amongst diners.
Below, we explore the installation in more detail.
From Private To Public
Initially serving private customers when established in 1993, The Pregnant Man is now open to the public. The Bull, an aesthetically stunning and eye-catching piece of equipment, has fast become one of its major attractions and has gained many admirers amongst patrons and staff. It is available in any RAL colour, even psychedelic patterns, with the proprietors of The Pregnant Man opting for a sleek black option.
Thanks to its clean-cut lines and shiny appearance, the Bull has become known for creating a sense of theatre when cooking pizza. Since its installation, its award-winning design, made to resemble a bull’s head and horns, has been a huge talking point. And it’s not hard to see why.
A Higher Class Of Pizza Preparation
Despite its alluring exterior, The Pregnant Man’s head chef, Sean Martin, knows that the Bull is not merely a case of style over substance. Along with his pizza chefs, he undertook extensive training with Euro Catering’s Corporate Development Chef, Darren Massey, at Euro Catering’s Daventry demonstration kitchen in order to get to grips with the Italforni oven’s superb functionality.
Thanks to refractory brick in its base, sides and top, alongside high temperature and shock-resistant laminated glass panels, the Bull’s heat retention is unparalleled. This not only guarantees perfectly cooked pizza, but low running costs too. Nine different settings can be pre-programmed to facilitate the cooking process and a touchscreen control panel ensures easy operation.
Changing The Game
With a tremendously positive social media response, it is clear that the Bull’s reputation as a state-of-the-art pizza oven is assured. Peter Simpson, director of Euro Pizza Ovens, who specified and installed the oven, stated: “I needed to find a visually impressive oven with catering ‘swagger’. I spotted the Italforni Bull and quickly contacted Euro Catering, as its UK supplier. Having worked with Euro Catering for nearly two decades, I knew their own relationship with Italforni stretches back 20 years, so was confident in recommending this oven on the basis of both their endorsement and their longstanding relationship with Italforni in Pesaro. Once I saw the oven for myself, I knew it would have the desired wow factor.”
Adding to this, Euro Catering’s Sales Director, Justin Towns, said: “The Italforni is a stunner in any scenario and we are sure it will be a huge success at The Pregnant Man. This oven could be a game-changer for any venue that wants to impress front-of-house, but which also wishes to keep fuel costs low and retain the ease of cooking with electricity. There is simply nothing else like it.”
