What a year it’s been! A huge thank you to all of our customers, producers, suppliers and everyone who has helped us grow over the past 12 months. The Bath Pizza Co team are heading out to Napoli shortly to celebrate a great year and visit some of Europe's most famous pizzerias.
In the meantime, here’s a round up of how 2017 looked and some of our highlights.
January
Welcoming Iford Cider
Now a firm favourite on our bar, Iford Cider are as local as it gets. Just a few miles outside of Bath, Joe and the team produce a cracking range of ciders. Crafted on the Iford Estate in Bradford-on-Avon, we serve Iford Cider’s Medium Dry cider which washes down beautifully with our Tunley Farm Chicken and Pesto pizza.
February
Bringing more Bath Farmers’ Market specials to the menu
Being based at Green Park Station, Bath means we’re spoilt for choice with the Bath Farmers’ Market in town every Saturday. A matter of metres from our oven, we’re able to source the freshest and the best when it comes to quality ingredients and keeping our menu interesting! This year we’ve introduced a range of specials and new permanent Farmers’ Market pizzas to our menu.
March
Getting behind the lens
We worked with a local DoP to produce an little promo video back in February and March. We’d love to know what you think of our short film. Ping us a tweet.

May
Festival season begins
May was a fantastic month as we welcomed a series of festival events with Bath Festivals and Bath Spa University. With Kingswood School performing in the station we greeted hundreds of guests for one of the best atmospheres we’ve seen at Green Park Station.
Bath Spa students hosted a MayFest beer festival and a Food Tour festival where we collaborated with our beer truck and Bratwurst stall. We’re looking forward to partnering again with the university to host more great events in 2018.
June
Celebrating 25 years of Green Park Brasserie
2017 marked 25 years of business for our sister business Green Park Brasserie.
Since picking up the keys in 1992 the business has developed into one of Bath’s most popular independent restaurants with live music four nights a week.
July

We love working with local producers and suppliers. This summer we welcomed Marshfield Ice Cream to our menu. A few miles north of Bath, these guys are kings when it comes to cream and are part of our £12.50 deal.
August
Bath folk festival
Every year the Bath Folk Festival comes to Green Park Station and Green Park Brasserie. This year we welcomed several local musicians to play Bath Pizza Co under the vaulted Victorian roof. We love welcoming these guys who bring a great crowd and a fantastic atmosphere! Keep an eye out for 2018’s live music line up.
September
Bringing the Great Bath Feast to Bath Pizza Co.
Every year we get involved with the Great Bath Feast as Bath celebrates all things food and drink.
This year we put on a local beer festival and live music show as we welcomed a whole host of guest beers from Bristol Beer Factory’s extensive range, a combination of Butcombe guest ales and guest peach lager, Jubel to name a few.
This was one of our most enjoyable days in 2017 and we're now planning more live music session from Easter throughout the summer months - watch this space.

October was a very busy month for us at Bath Pizza Co. We picked up a Gold Taste of the West Award, welcomed the University of Bath for an Oktoberfest party and made the headlines with our professional pizza job. We later hired the awesome Mike for the roll.
We've just noticed we made the news with @EvieSchultz & @KULR last month 😁 https://t.co/Rp2lMc2yaU pic.twitter.com/r0JYUtSvVi

November
Introducing Dough Ball Roulette
Another busy month for the team at Bath Pizza Co with more events and busy evenings as the cold months moved in. We also launched our pizza roulette challenge which ran as a special for the week!
December
Refreshing the bar
With Christmas parties in Bath in full swing, we welcomed new lines to our bar in December.
In addition to the very popular Independence Pale Ale from Bristol Beer Factory and our locally producer cider from Iford Cider a few miles from Bath; we welcomed Stowford Press Cider and Holsten Vier.
Stowford Press, a pale straw, bright and luminous coloured cider has a strong fruity aroma and is developed during the slow maturation period producing a delicious flavour of crisp cider apples.
Holsten Vier, a pale lager was first imported from Germany in 1952 and has been incredibly popular ever since. Holsten Vier and Stowford Press are both part of our £10 pizza and pint offer.
Thank you to everyone who made 2017 an awesome year!
