New Firebloom Cooking Range

Percy Doughty has announced the launch of the Firebloom 2026 range as outdoor cooking continues to grow in popularity. The range includes a selection of pizza ovens, as well as an updated iteration of its established heating product, the Fresco Outdoor Stove.

Outdoor dining has seen a significant rise in the UK in recent years. The average number of BBQs per family during the summer has surged from around 2.5 a decade ago to nearly 10 now, which has been influenced by factors such as Covid lockdowns, increased home-centric socialising and rising grocery and dining costs. 82% of people now enjoy meals in their gardens during the summer, while 52% opt for al fresco dining on hot days, as reported by A&S Landscape. 

The UK pizza oven market has also experienced substantial growth, generating USD 11.6 million in 2023 and projected to reach USD 150.9 million by 2030. Reflecting this growing consumer appetite for outdoor dining, Firebloom brings together over 70 years of fireplace expertise, heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design to deliver luxury outdoor living solutions that are focused on performance, durability and style. 

The new 2026 range includes the EP01 Electric Pizza Oven: a compact and portable unit designed for fast cooking and powered by dual 1800W heating elements, the EP02 Freestanding Electric Pizza Oven: a full-height oven featuring an independent chamber and stone temperature controls, the EP03 Electric Pizza Oven which delivers powerful performance in a space-saving compact design, and the GP01 Gas Pizza Oven with integrated thermostat control for high-performance flame cooking that delivers crisp pizzas in minutes. All pizza ovens are available to buy online now at https://www.firebloomoutdoor.co.uk/.

The Fresco+ Outdoor Heater is an evolution of the original product which will be available to buy in July this year. Design enhancements include a refined combustion system, adjustable air control, integrated debris collection and improved drainage – all while maintaining the 360° flame view that defines the Fresco’s aesthetic.
