Fountain View Bakery

Fountain View Bakery is an artisan bakery based at the Youlgreave Youth Hostel, café and bookshop in the heart of the village. The company bakes its own bread, pastries cakes and sourdough pizzas. As well catering for visitors to the area the business has become a natural hub and meeting place for the community.

Prior to the grant the bakery was limited to baking small numbers of sourdough pizzas and using an old and inefficient fridge and freezer. The new fridge, freezer and equipment funded by the £6,685 grant has enabled the bakery to be a lot more efficient.

New ranges of products are planned and the business is planning to employ a new full time chef.

Colin Trigg (Director) says:

We bought a new fridge, freezer, trays, mixer and weighing scales. Having all that equipment has helped us massively to bake more efficiently and manage the peaks of troughs of customer demand to avoid waste. Friday Pizza Nights especially are now a lot more manageable. It’s made a huge difference to our business.
