If its got a regular UK 13A plug on it then its designed to go into a standard socket.
You can check the rating of the oven - the plate will probably be on the door. You are OK to plug in if its rated at less than 3000watts (3KW).

while correct in his statement, an oven is a large load to have on the kitchen ring along with everything else..
try not to plug any other large appliances or the kettle / toaster into the same double socket..
it's best to have a seperate "appliance" ring or several radials for the washer / oven / dishwasher etc..
