We're off to Verona!

Bath Pizza Co on Tour

We’re on tour again this January - to Verona. But don’t worry we’ll still be open!

Last January we visited the home of pizza - Napoli to explore the city and it’s world famous pizzerias (pics below).

Every trip is a great chance for us to experience different styles of food and sample new ingredients - allowing us to inspire new menu concepts to bring back to Bath and to our menu.

Most importantly though it provides an opportunity to talk to other pizzaiolos, meet the local people and talk about pizza.

2018 has been a big year for us at Bath Pizza Co. We’ve turned 2 years old, been finalists at the European Pizza Chef of the Year competition, developed our menu and pizza style and hosted some fantastic live music and performance events working with Bath festivals and music groups.

Our excellent pizza chef Tiv will be running the show while we’re in Verona and we’ll be sharing our trip on Instagram in mid January.

We’re also aiming to launch a new, refreshed menu in mid Feb, so keep your eyes peeled!

We’re very excited to announce our partnership with Bath based Olympian Ben Fletcher.

bath-pizza-co-sponsor-ben-fletcher

We’re partnering with Ben as he prepares to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 having represented Great Britain in his Olympic debut at Rio 2016. Now competing for Team Ireland, Ben is based at the University of Bath Sports Training Village and has become a Bath Pizza Co regular.

Ben Fletcher said: “I’m very excited with the partnership between myself and Bath Pizza Company. At Bath Pizza Company many of pizzas have half the calories in them then most of the high street chains. Combine that with the quality locally sourced ingredients from Bath Farmers’ Market and the likes of Tunley Farm Butchers, you can see that the pizzas made at Bath Pizza Company are worlds apart from your average pizza. Bath Pizza Company also offer delicious gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options to match anybody’s dietary needs.”

Alex Peters, Bath Pizza Co said: “We’re delighted to be working with Ben. Our product is much healthier and leaner than that of the major chains of the pizza world. To have a world class athlete championing our product is testament to the quality of ingredients we use and the skill of our chefs. Community is at the heart of what we do at both Bath Pizza Co and Green Park Brasserie - whether that’s supporting local arts festivals, performance groups or environmental campaigns.

Bath Pizza Co visit Napoli

Bath Pizza Co visit Napoli 

We’ve just returned to Bath from Napoli, the home pizza!

Each year we plan a research trip to see how other pizzerias around the world ply their trade. From menus to marketing and process to ingredients it's always useful to see how other pizza restaurants operate.

This year Andrew, Alex, Jack and Jonah spent 3 days in Napoli exploring the city, its history, cuisine and culture. Keep an eye out for our Napoli inspired dishes on our specials menu.
 

2017 at Bath Pizza Co

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.

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.

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

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

Welcoming Marshfield Ices!

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.

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.

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

Bath Pizza Co goes viral

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.


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!

Over 700 images have been entered to exhibit. The IgersBath network moderators, Lloyd, Mitch and Ella will curate the show, with an evening view taking place on Wednesday 23rd November, 2016 between 6 and 7pm - free wine and pizza from us!

The private view will give guests the opportunity to have a sneak peak at the fantastic images of Bath, and with thousands of Christmas customers to the Braz, the exhibition prints will also be for sale during the exhibition run.

Alex Peters, Green Park Brasserie said: "We're proud to have supported Bath's designers and artists over the last 24 years. The mantra for both the Braz and Bath Pizza Co has been to create great menus based on locally sourced produce - having an exhibition that reflects the wonderful local architecture and landscapes of Bath will be a great fit."

Planning a Visit to The Bath Christmas Market 2016

visit-bath-christmas-market-2016

We recently revealed 5 of the best things to do in Bath during the Christmas period. Of course the Bath Christmas Market featured alongside some of the city's other wonderful places of interest, including Prior Park Gardens and the Bath Thermae Spa.

We’re preparing our sister business Green Park Brasserie’s Christmas stall and thought we’d put together a handy guide to planning a visit to the Bath Christmas Market 2016 for residents, first timers, and seasoned market goers. So here's our tuppence worth for planning a trip to the Bath Christmas Market this year.

First of all, when is the Bath Christmas Market 2016?

The market runs from 24th November to 11th December this year. The market gets incredibly busy especially during the weekends, so where possible, try to avoid visiting on the 26/27 November, 3/4 December and 10/11 December weekends. Bath sees hundreds of thousands of extra visitors to the city during the market so if you can make a week-day visit, you’ll get a lot more out of your trip.

Why visit the Bath Christmas Market?

The Bath Christmas Market is probably the best Christmas market in the country. Yes, we’re slightly biased, but having visited Christmas markets across the UK in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Southampton, Winchester and a whole load more, none match up to ours!

From the bustling atmosphere created by the lit up wooden chalets and volume of visitors to the presence of the Bath Abbey, architecture of the Roman Baths and cobbled streets and lanes which provide a stunning visual backdrop, this Bath Christmas Market is a cut above the rest. With so many local traders and unique gifts available to buy, the landscape and shopping experience isn’t matched anywhere else.

When does the Bath Christmas Market 2016 open?

The Bath Christmas Market will officially open at 10am on Thursday 24th November 2016. Christmas decorations and lighting is beginning to pop up around the city already though!

What time does the Bath Christmas Market 2016 close?

when-is-bath-christmas-market

Different times throughout the week. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the market will close at 7pm. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the Bath Christmas Market will close at 8.30pm. On Sundays the market will shut at 6pm. The market will come to an end at 6pm on Sunday 11th December.

Who is trading at the Bath Christmas Market this year?

Bath’s Christmas Market is one of the UK’s few markets to boast such a high local trader percentage. In fact over 83% of the Bath Christmas Market traders are from Bath and the South West. For a full break down of who is trading and where, check out the themed stall holder break down on the official website.

Where to park for the Bath Christmas Market 2016

Finding parking in Bath throughout the Christmas period is something you might have to ask Santa for as an early gift. Car parks get very full very quickly, however, the city’s park and ride service is highly recommended by the market planning team as the most efficient way to get in and out of the city if you are visiting Bath by car.

Alternatively if you’re coming from afar by rail, the market is less than 5 minutes stroll from Bath Spa train station. Coach trips to the market are also a pretty good option as with dedicated drop off points you won’t have to worry about the parking problems.

Resources to plan your visit to the Bath Christmas Market

Be sure to check out Visit Bath’s dedicated Bath Christmas Market website. The Visit Bath team have provided a fantastic resource to help you plan your visit wherever you’re visiting Bath from.

Come and say hello

You’ll recognise some friendly faces from the Green Park Brasserie who will be trading this year at the Bath Christmas Market. We’ll be keeping them going with the occasional pizza and local ale from our pizza oven here at Green Park Station. The Braz stall will be on the main Abbey Churchyard site. They’ll be selling fantastic German Bratwurst sausages, mulled wine and christmas ciders.

 

5 Must do things in Bath during Christmas

abbey-green-bath-christmas-market

The countdown to Christmas in Bath is on. The Bath Christmas Market will soon be taking shape and from Wednesday the 16th November, the Christmas lights will be lighting up the city.

Bath certainly comes into its own during the autumn and winter seasons and with Christmas fast approaching, Bath will see an extra 400,000 visitors descend upon the city for the Bath Christmas Market alone. 

We’re preparing our special Christmas pizza which we’ll be serving up during the December Bath Farmers’ Markets here at Green Park Station. We’ll be running a slightly smaller seating area throughout December as the Green Park Brasserie marquee takes over the main outdoor space for our Christmas party revellers. We will of course still be offering a takeaway service and will be bringing wood fired pizza from our oven to your door with a little help from our friends, Deliveroo.

In the mean time, we’ve put together a Christmas in Bath guide to help you plan your time, whether you're a visitor or resident. Our list includes and handful of the must-dos, where to get away from the crowds and a few off the beaten path recommendations.

1. Explore the Bath Christmas Market

What Bath guide would be complete without one of the UK’s best Christmas markets? Our sister business the Braz has been trading at the Bath Christmas Market for a number of years now. Set against the backdrop of the Bath Abbey, Roman Baths and Abbey Green the headline event for Christmas in Bath, this is one not to miss.

Top tip: visit midweek and either earlier in the day or later into the evening - the Bath Christmas Market can get very busy with people travelling from all over the UK to make the trip.

2. A winter walk at the National Trust's Prior Park Gardens

Possibly one of Bath’s slightly hidden gems due to its location, the National Trust’s Prior Park Gardens is certainly one of the city’s great assets. About one mile from the city centre of Bath, the Gardens are worth the rather steep hill you'll be met with. Certainly gets the blood flowing.

Take in stunning vistas of what might be the best view of Bath and of course the beautiful Palladian Bridge and architecture of what is now Prior Park School. The gardens were designed in the 18th century by the poet Alexander Pope and the landscape gardener Capability Brown and are best visited on a crisp clear days for those framed views of Bath down through the Prior Park Gardens valley. Walkers can also pick up the Bath Skyline Walk from here which takes a fantastic route across the hills and viewpoints overlooking Bath.

Top tip: get your walking boots out. The pathways can be slippery as you’ll be traversing different terrains! While the walking is up and down hill some of the pathways can be slippery in especially during the winter months.

3. Bath Thermae Spa

Perfect for couples on a weekend break in Bath, you won’t be spending too long in your towelling robe on the terraces during the winter, but the views across the city aren't half bad. Escape the bustling shopping period over Christmas, put your feet up and enjoy the different spa treatments and pools available.

Top tip: check out the Twilight package for those sunsets views.

4. The Holburne Museum and Sydney Gardens

Following the Holburne Museum’s recent redevelopment - completed in 2011, this architectural marvel is worth a visit purely for its design alone - let alone its collection. Combining a stunning 18th century design with a contemporary extension to house new gallery spaces and visitor facilities the Holburne Museum is nestled against Sydney Gardens just outside of Bath’s city centre. The gardens are fantastic for taking in the Avon and Somerset Canal and were often visited by Jane Austen who lived a stone’s throw from the park at 4 Sydney Place.

Back into the warm and within the Museum’s collection you’ll find wonderfully displayed 19th-century paintings and changing temporary exhibitions and displays. Entrance is free, however, temporary exhibitions are paid.

Top tip: Journey from town. The 5 minute walk from Bath city centre to the Holburne Museum will take you along one of Bath's grandest streets, Great Pulteney Street. The Georgian architectural planning of framing buildings up the vista from Laura Place to the Museum is one of Bath’s finest examples of design.

5. A winter run around the Royal Crescent and Lansdown

Off set a few of those Christmas chocolates in advance with a run around the north of Bath’s city centre and for the more adventurous take on Lansdown hill and the Bath Racecourse - a beautiful stretch of green space to run around on a clear day. A loop starting from the Circus along the Royal Crescent, up to Lansdown past Beckford's Tower and back down will create a great 10km circuit run around Bath for those enjoy a mixed surface and hill run.
