Greek style bread oven,Turleigh

Reminiscent of an old bread oven on a Mediterranean island, this Four Grand-Mere F800 Greek style bread oven is actually made on a cotswold stone base in the unspoilt village of Turleigh, just outside Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. We were recommended to the Baker family in June 2020 from a previous customer who we supplied an oven for in Fowey, Cornwall. Jos and Heli live just up the hill from us so we were delighted to be able to supply and install the oven on a base made by a local builder to our spec.

Installation drawing

The oven was delivered early in July ready for us to install with stainless steel flue and lime rendered dome. The new wood-fired oven fits nicely in its shady position under a large Beech tree and enables Jos and Heli to cook pizza, bread and a range of wood-fired dishes for the whole family.

The wings of slate are prefect for preparing dough and require little maintenance other than a scrub down with warm soapy water after cooking.

We specialise in this type of of simple installation with informal, rustic ambience as clients feel immediately at home and don’t feel too precious about spilling oil or making a mess. We do precise prestige builds where necessary of course, but we like this kind of project as the centrepiece is always the food cooked not necessarily the oven. The super insulated oven does its job well, retains heat for days and cooks everything to perfection from blistering 450C to low and slow!
