Festivals & Events
Real wood-fired pizza for big crowds and long nights, cooked with a real wood fire.
From multi-day camping music festivals to work functions and private parties, we bring the oven, the fire and the pizza, and keep it coming.
Music festivals
Made for festival nights
Long weekends, late nights and a fire that keeps going.
Multi-day camping music festivals are where we're most at home. We've cooked at the Great Escape music festival, and we love the buzz of feeding a happy crowd into the night.
- Real wood-fired pizza. Made by hand and cooked with a real wood fire, right there at the festival.
- Multi-day, late-night trade. We're happy to settle in for the whole weekend and keep the fire going late.
- A mix for everyone. Meat, seafood and vegetarian pizzas, with vegan cheese and gluten friendly bases available.
- Weather-ready. Our enclosed setup keeps us well protected from wind and rain.
Two setups
The trailer and the Ember Bus
We've got two wood-fired setups, so we can match the right one to your event.
The trailer
Where it all started. A run-down old Dutch doughnut trailer that Jeremy's dad, Paul, helped convert into a pizza kitchen with a wood-fired oven at its heart. It travelled around the Netherlands before being shipped home to Tasmania, and these days it's our mobile setup for events.
The Ember Bus
Our red and grey pizza bus, set up in the Hobart Brewing Company beer garden Wednesday to Sunday. Talk to us about which setup suits your event.
