Woodbank Park
Come as you are.
Out for a dog walk, a run, or just after something genuinely good to eat — we're here. Wood-fired pizzas, soup of the day, and fresh focaccia. Come rain or shine, within opening hours.
The setup
Pizza in the park.
La Cucina Povera at Woodbank Park is our outdoor kitchen — wood-fired pizzas made to order, proper soups on cold days, and fresh focaccia straight from the oven. Whether you've got a lead in one hand or just a good appetite, you're welcome here.
Everything is made fresh. Nothing is reheated. The same care that goes into the sandwiches goes into every pizza that comes out of that oven.
The pizzas
From the oven.
Wood-fired, made to order. Each one built on a proper base — thin, charred at the edges, soft in the middle.
Margherita
San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, fresh basil. The original — no notes.
Pepperoni
Classic cupped pepperoni, tomato, mozzarella. Crisp edges, good oil.
Potato, Crispy Onions & Chilli
Thin-sliced potato, golden crispy onions, fresh chilli. No tomato, all comfort.
BBQ Chicken Leg & Red Onion
Slow-cooked chicken leg, smoky BBQ base, sweet red onion. Proper crowd-pleaser.
Prosciutto, Rocket & Mozzarella
Cured prosciutto draped over melted mozzarella, finished with peppery rocket.
Rosemary & Taleggio
Fragrant rosemary, creamy Taleggio. Simple, rich, and deeply satisfying.
Roast Red Pepper, Goats Cheese & Rocket
Sweet roasted peppers, tangy goats cheese, fresh rocket. Bright and bold.
How you want it
Folded or boxed.
Eat it on the spot — folded in half, Neapolitan-style, straight from the oven. Or take it away in a box and get back to the walk. Either way, it travels well and it won't last long.
Your call. We'll have it ready.
Soups
Something warm.
The soup changes with what's good — ask us what's on. Our fennel sausage & white bean soup is a regular — rich, slow-cooked, exactly the kind of thing you want after an hour in the cold.
Always served with fresh focaccia on the side.
Focaccia
Fresh from the oven.
Baked fresh on site. Good olive oil, good salt, good bread. Take a piece with your soup, your pizza, or just on its own. It won't last long.
Available to take away too — whole pieces while they last.
