National Counties Cricket have partnered with The BBQ magazine to offer ‘Fire and Flames’ food experiences that will help drive additional income for your club house.
By investing in a high-quality pizza oven, you can offer delicious, freshly made pizzas to hungry cricket fans and players, and there's no need to be a pizza chef to get involved!
The Club House Project in conjunction with The BBQ Magazine has some great success stories with sports and cricket clubs alike, registering profits over £13,000 a season.
"A Delivita wood-fired oven is now also a fixture at the cricket club, cooking up to 100 pizzas a week for teams, guests and Friday family nights, selling at £8 a pizza and turning a tasty profit for the club. “The club is thrilled with the success of the wood-fired oven and the addition of the Delivita par-baked sourdough bases make the pizza preparation so easy that hardly any training is required,” said Carl Baker, chairman of Rowledge CC
As part of our partnership, The BBQ Magazine is offering a special discounted rate to NCCA clubs to include:
· Delivita Eco Gas Oven
· Delivita Pizza Peel
· Delivita Pizza Cutter
· Delivita Brush
· Delivita Dough Scraper
· Supply of 100 pizza bases

Hampshire Cricket is also working with the BBQ Clubhouse project.
“Clubhouse is such a great initiative that supports clubs in creating and increasing revenues, while helping to bring all of our communities together,” said Ben Thompson, cricket development director at the Hampshire Cricket Board.
“We are delighted that Portsmouth & Southsea is the first club in the county to buy a DeliVita oven under the ECB’s grant scheme and I am sure there will be many more in due course.”
Over the coming weeks BBQ magazine will be joining Hampshire Cricket’s development team for workshop events to engage the county’s 150+ clubs, where they will be showcasing the different types of grills and ovens available through the BBQ Clubhouse project and eligible for ECB grant funding.
Working with BBQ Clubhouse, Minster Lovell Cricket Club in Oxfordshire obtained funding from the ECB County Grants Fund, which supports affiliated cricket clubs to create ‘welcoming environments, provide enhanced facilities and playing opportunities, and to help clubs tackle the impact of climate change’. Clubs can apply for grants between £1000 and £10,000.
Minster Lovell purchased a DeliVita gas oven for the club to elevate its pizza cooking game for players, families and supporters, as well as drive increased revenue.
“We use the oven every Friday evening during the cricket season, as well as at county games and when we host touring sides,” said Tim Gush, chairman of Minster Lovell Cricket Club.
“Being able to offer pizzas as an alternative to the conventional burgers and hotdogs has been a big plus for the club and we can’t cook them fast enough.”
The club has, through grant funding, now bought a Blackstone gas griddle and accessories to cook a wider variety of BBQ food, including breakfasts.
“We want to explore all possibilities and increase our range of menus. We are planning to extend our cricket pavilion, and this may include a permanent outdoor cooking area,” said Gush.
