Wood-Fired Magic: Why Our Pizzas Are a Local Favourite

There’s something special about a wood-fired pizza — the smoky flavour, the crisp-yet-chewy base, and the way the cheese bubbles and browns just right. At The Courthouse Hotel, our wood-fired pizzas have quickly become a local favourite, and it’s easy to see why.

It Starts With the Fire

Our traditional wood-fired oven isn’t just for show — it’s the heart of our pizza-making process. The intense heat creates a perfectly cooked base with just the right amount of char, while locking in all the delicious flavours of the toppings. It’s rustic, it’s real, and it’s something you just can’t replicate with a regular oven.

Quality Ingredients Make the Difference

We believe simple is best when it comes to great pizza.

Our bases are made fresh, and we use quality ingredients — from premium cheeses to carefully selected toppings. Every pizza is crafted with care, whether you’re going for a classic Margherita or one of our signature creations.

Handmade, Every Time

No conveyor belts here!

Our pizzas are hand-stretched and topped by our kitchen team who know that great pizza isn’t just about taste — it’s about feel. Every pizza has its own character, made the old-fashioned way: by hand, by heart, and with a bit of smoky wood-fired magic.

Perfect with a Pint

Whether you’re catching up with mates, celebrating a birthday, or winding down after a long week, nothing beats a fresh wood-fired pizza and a cold drink. Pair it with one of our local beers or a glass of wine, and you’ve got the perfect Courthouse Hotel experience.

Come See What the Hype Is About

If you haven’t tried one of our wood-fired pizzas yet, you’re missing out.

Whether you’re a classic pepperoni lover or keen to try something a little different, we’ve got a pizza with your name on it.
