See why the professionals love using Alfa ovens.
The Royal George in Tintern, renovated and opened in August 2025 — is already buzzing. In its first two months, Executive Chef Gareth Hope and his team cooked more than 4,700 woodfired pizzas from their brand-new outdoor kitchen, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Wye Valley.
To keep up with that level of demand, Gareth needed an oven that was fast, efficient and reliable. Their choice: the Alfa Quick 4 Professional Pizza Oven. Ready to use the moment it’s installed, the Quick 4 delivers serious performance — reaching 500°C in just 50 minutes, cooking up to 50 pizzas per hour, and maintaining impeccable consistency even during peak service. Its triple-layer ceramic fibre insulation keeps the heat where it needs to be while keeping external surfaces cool, making it both energy-efficient and comfortable to work around. And with options for wood, gas, or hybrid, it fits seamlessly into any setup.
Combined with thoughtful renovations and a beautiful garden space filled with fire, music and atmosphere, it’s no surprise the pub and garden have quickly become a favourite for locals and visitors alike.
“I checked how effectively the stainless-steel dome worked. This new technology, this new approach to the wood-fired oven allowed me to bring it up to the cooking temperature in less than an hour, and to turn out plenty of pizzas as it had always worked like that.”

At Authentica (my gourmet pizza parlour) I used an Alfa oven that has been retrofitted to cook pizza according to my needs. Since inaugurating it, a year ago, I have used the Alfa Quattro Pro Top oven and I’m really satisfied with this product and its performances. At Authentica, I wanted to trace back to the very essence of my job just the way my father did it, the man who could look at every table in his restaurant, so the choice of a light, easy-to-install Alfa oven was pretty obvious
