Another holiday park embracing the popularity of the Italian concept is the popular family resort Butlin’s. In February 2017, LLK’s engineers headed over to Ludo’s restaurant situated in Butlin’s Minehead resort, to install their brand new Cuppone Giotto pizza oven and Cuppone heated pizza press. “Butlin’s recognised it was time to invest in their business, bringing themselves in line with the high street. Pizza being a concept that would make their business current,” says Nick Brassett of YCE Catering Equipment in Leeds.

Working together with LLK, Nick specified the Giotto and press to the restaurant where the staff operating the equipment had previous experience working at Ludo’s predecessor Pizza Hut. With the Giotto’s revolutionary revolving base, loading and unloading pizzas is child’s play. Add the Cuppone heated dough press to the set up and producing consistently beautiful pizzas can be achieved by anyone. “Ludo’s needed an operation that would allow them to deliver great food with pace. The Giotto was the obvious choice for front of house cooking as it is an impressive looking oven, adding the press was sure to make the operation effortless.” Says Brassett; “So far all feedback from site has been great, particularly on the equipment: they love it. Which is great given they have previous experience with other brands!”

LLK’s Technical Director Carl, who was on site to install the kit, also returned to deliver training to the employees at Ludo’s. LLK can offer their customers basic training on the use of their equipment to help reduce any unnecessary warranty calls. “We find that, more often than not, customers avoid reading instruction manuals, so this is usually the cause of many warranty calls. Being able to offer training on the use of our equipment helps customers maintain the oven and operate it correctly from the very beginning”, comments Carl.
