Bedford & Basil are firing up this Sunday! Cheadle Cricket Club from 11am to 6pm - 11th August. Open to the public..

Serving our famous woodfired, sour dough pizzas from our gorgeous vintage Bedford truck

Toppings include - but not limited to - Margherita with fresh mozzarella, pepperoni (of course), ham with mushroom or pineapple or both, our signature BBQ Chicken and Vegetable Supreme.

Our Beautiful Bedford Truck is, perhaps unsurprisingly, in demand for private parties. But just occasionally, we get an enquiry looking for a cheap catering option.

Due to the nature of Woodfired pizzas, there is quite a long set up time in order to get the oven to cooking temperature. In the case of our vintage Bedford Truck there are also limits to the distance she can be driven, and, quite honestly, she does not provide the fuel efficiency of a modern vehicle. (45-50 miles per hour at 15 miles to the gallon, ha ha!). This adds to the cost of appearing at a location, so in addition to our pizza prices we charge an appearance fee based on distance.

Please bare this in mind when selecting a service provider, are you not simply buying food, or you are buying the whole experience and theming that some providers, like our beautiful Bedford, bring to your event.

Bedford and Basil under the Wolf Moon.

Waking up to another windy day, bitterly cold too. Can't wait to get out on the road and light that pizza oven.

16/01/2024

Another snow day for Basil, but what a lovely view of the Staffordshire countryside.

I wonder how many snow days this gorgeous vintage vehicle has seen since 1967!

13/01/2024

Cracking day to sort out Basil. A missing rivet led to replacing all the rivets in the canvas frame. Plus reinforcing the canvas at points of (possible) high friction. Then a thorough strip back of all wooden work surfaces and a treatment of Danish oil. Finally a wash and wax and our gorgeous Bedford is another day closer to event season.

If you would like to hire us to provide wood fired pizzas for your event this year, give Liz a call on 07807 547815. Always happy to talk food and event.
