We built Bath Pizza Company on the ethos of being a community and collaborative focussed business; eager to work with the fantastic farmers, food producers, and brewers in Bath and Somerset. Now we're proud to announce that we have new pizza options on our menu that focus on the Bath Farmers’ Market that runs here in the station on Saturday mornings. We’ve been ratio weighing and ingredient testing on our new Bath Farmers’ Market special pizzas for the last few weeks; so we’re pretty chuffed to officially announce them!
So without further ado, here are our new headline acts...
Ted's Wild Game
If you’re a regular to the Bath Farmers’ Market, you’ll certainly know Ted. Selling quails eggs, venison and wild boar sourced from Cranborne Chase, Ted is a old stalwart of the market offering genuine quality produce from the stunning Cranborne Chase landscape that sprawls across Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset.
At Bath Pizza Co, we cook Ted’s venison with red wine and onion in our wood fired oven to act as a perfect topping on a white dough base. Ted's Wild Game is our headline act, leading the way for our white pizzas (no tomato and herb sauce).
Tunley Farm Special
Tunley Farm’s smoked sausage know famously as the “huge pole” sausage is the star of our Tunley Farm Special. Mark from Tunley can be found most days of the week here in Green Park Station, and after a serious tasting session we found that the combination of the huge pole smoked sausage, sun blushed tomatoes, and onions was the perfect pizza to celebrate our Green Park Station neighbour’s produce.
Homewood 3 Cheeses
Angela and Tim have been supplying our sister biz, the Braz for a fair few years now, so we’re delighted to feature the Homewood special on our menu. Based out in Ubley (towards Bristol) we’ve been working with the artisan cheesemakers to come up with the perfect recipe. After some more tasting sessions (we’re getting through some serious pizza tasting!) the combination of ricotta, halloumi and old demdike made the perfect Homewood Cheeses pizza.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do at Bath Pizza Co. Whether that’s with our partners who create our local produce in Bath and Somerset, our friends around the South West who make fantastic ciders and ales, or our technology partners.
In our introducing series we’ll be telling the stories of our partners, how we work with them and the story behind their business. In this article we introduce Ordoo CEO, Tom Dewhurst who we recently caught up with in a Q&A session here at Green Park Station, Bath.
Bath Pizza Co: Hey Tom, thanks for coming down to Bath Pizza Co and seeing us in action. Can you tell us a bit about Ordoo?
TD: Sure. Ordoo is an app for busy people to save time collecting coffee and lunch. You can now order and pay in advance at your favourite cafes, coffee shops and lunch spots to avoid waiting around and to earn loyalty rewards on your smartphone.
We're based in the University of Bath Innovation Centre by the bus station and we're really excited to be working some amazing local independent businesses. Bath is a great place to start a company and we are really enjoying the feedback we're receiving.
- Tom Dewhurst, Ordoo CEO
Bath Pizza Co: We’ve been using Ordoo now at Bath Pizza Co for a few months and are really impressed with the product you’ve built. How exactly did the idea come about?
TD: I had the idea whilst at University over 14 months ago. I was stuck in this 15 min queue, on my phone, and it was taking so long and I was so busy that I was actually reading an article for my dissertation. This was on the factors that drive adoption of digital payments amongst the youth market. As I stood in this queue, this particular paper got me thinking that the future of mobile payments is mobile ordering – as this added value to the boring process of payment. This would change the Point of Sale for the hospitality industry and digitalising this process would make it more efficient process – saving everyone time.
I looked into the problem further and it was obvious that customers were avoiding venues with consistent queueing problems as this creates a poor customer experience. The root cause of this poor customer experience derived from inefficient payment systems, cash handling and laborious ordering processes. Worst of all, many venues don't know who their loyal customers are and can't connect with them. If I went to a venue – asked loyal customers – Markas, Jess, Dave – how do you contact then and reach them with personal offers – they can't. They might have a loyalty card but they don’t have any information on who that is and what they order.
So I created Ordoo to address this problem and to provide a consistently better experience for the venue and the customer.
Bath Pizza Co: You’ve been working across Bath and Bristol for a while, what are the plans for the next 12 months?
TD: Yes, we first launched in Bath in January and then Bristol in April, so it's been moving pretty quickly! We have found the majority of the forward thinking, early adopting venues in the area. We are now pushing to get more people to try out the app.
If things continue to develop as they have then the next 12 months will be a whirlwind! We're largely focusing on our 3 month plans to launch in London and Cardiff, so this is very exciting. If these go well then I look forward to seeing where we will be in 12 months...
Bath Pizza Co: I expect you get to try a pretty good range of food and cuisines as you meet more and more businesses?
TD: Ha. Yes, this is definitely one of the perks of the job. Our partners are very generous and we are offered loads of great coffee and lunch. We only work with the best venues, so this pays dividends. The team also get free app credit so we go around trying out the wonderful selection of food and drink that can be found on Ordoo.
Bath Pizza Co: So hand on heart, which restaurants and coffee bars have you been most impressed with so far?
TD: We really value all our partners. It is clear that the partners who work closely with us get the most out of the platform. The feedback we received from some of our first partner venues, such as Forum and Bath Coffee co, was extremely valuable. They are now amongst our best venues. Over the last few months we've been working with loads more lunch venues and they are performing really well. We are excited to be working with Bath Pizza Company to push your lunch menu and save people time who don't want to wait around for the pizza to be made.
Bath Pizza Co: We’ve obviously seen huge growth and change in how as consumers we experience and purchase food; what is the next step in making the consumers’ experience better or easier?
TD: It's so important that customers receive a great experience when eating out. Especially in for lunch and takeaway, there must be a significant emphasis on convenience and efficiency. Customers came to enjoy the quality food and making this process quick and painless makes everyone happy!
Our core mission is to ensure a consistently amazing customer experience. We strongly believe this derives from saving people valuable time and creating personal relationships between customers and venues. We like to think that the Ordoo app achieves this and is the next step forward in the food and drink industry.
Bath Pizza Co: As you’ve given up your time with us we thought we’d allow you a full on shameless plug for Ordoo. Why should people download your app?
TD: Whoops, I've been plugging it all along! Well, for all the reasons mentioned above really. We're a local technology business looking to support local independent venues as their digital enabler.
If you like getting take away coffee or going out for lunch then the app is definitely for you. Don't waste time standing in queues and order ahead. What are you waiting for?
Bath Pizza Co: Tom, thanks for joining us, it’s been a pleasure!
TD: Thanks for the opportunity Alex. I look forward to working closely together at the Bath Pizza Co!
Bath Pizza Co announces Homewood 3 Cheese special
We’re pretty chuffed to be announcing our first Bath Farmer’s Market special pizza. We’ve been testing ratios and flavours all week and can now announce our new Homewood 3 Cheeses pizza here at Bath Pizza Co.
The Homewood 3 Cheeses pizza at Bath Pizza Co., Green Park Station
Inspired by the produce at the Bath Farmer’s Market in Green Park Station, we’re announcing a series of new pizzas, based on the ingredients created by food producers and farmers who make up the Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning.
Based in Ubley, Somerset, Homewood artisan cheesemakers are Tim and Angela - the team behind Homewood Cheeses. We caught up with them at the Bath Farmer’s Market for a Q & A session on the world of cheese and the new Homewood 3 Cheeses pizza!
Bath Pizza Co: Tim, Angela, it’s great to have Homewood Cheeses on our pizza menu! Please introduce yourselves and your background in the artisan cheese world.
Tim and Angela: We met each other when we had a stall next to each other trading at the Tobacco Factory Market in Bristol. Tim was making cheese for another company, as he has been since 1999, and Angela was baking cakes and making preserves. Then only a monthly market, it took several months to find out each others names! But love eventually blossomed and we decided to start making our own cheeses in 2008. A chance introduction to a sheep dairy farmer followed and we have been working with sheep milk ever since. We moved our cheese making to its new home in Ubley in 2014 and love being in the Chew Valley.
Bath Pizza Co: We’ve been tasting the new Homewood 3 Cheeses pizza this morning, what do you think?
Tim and Angela: It tasted great. A really fresh flavour from the tomato base and great balance between the cheeses.
Bath Pizza Co: We’re currently using the combination of the Ricotta, Halloumi and Old Demdike, which other cheeses might work well on pizzas as we move through the seasons?
Tim and Angela: In the spring the Fresh Ewes Cheese is perfect for waking the taste buds out of winter. As we move into Autumn we love the robust flavour of the Pickled Ewes Cheese and pairs especially well with autumn squashes. Come the winter Chattox comes into its own. Made late summer and lightly pressed, by winter the flavour has developed to a full round intensity.
Bath Pizza Co: We’re huge fans of the Ricotta, can you tell us a little about the making process?
Tim and Angela: The ricotta is one of our favourites too, a really summery cheese. It won a Gold medal at this year’s British Cheese Awards. Producing ricotta is very satisfying as it is an incidental part of the halloumi making process. The halloumi curds are cooked in the whey after pressing; this is what makes it not melt and gives it the squeak! As we heat the whey for this, the ricotta is the whey protein that separates out during heating. As it forms it collects at the top of the pan and we just scoop it off into cloths to drain. We don't add any salt to our ricotta so is perfect for sweet or savoury dishes.
Bath Pizza Co: Do you have a most popular product that always sells well?
Tim and Angela: At the market it is definitely the halloumi, especially at this time of year. But with our restaurant customers the chefs love the versatility of the Fresh Ewes Cheese.
Bath Pizza Co: Which other markets around Bath and Somerset can we find you at?
Tim and Angela: As well as the Farmers Market in Green Park Station on a Saturday, we can also be found at the Frome Independent on the first Sunday of the month. The whole town centre is taken over by stalls selling everything from street food to local crafts, bric-a-brac and of course artisan foods and cheese!
Bath Pizza Co: Thanks very much Tim and Angela!

Welcome to Bath Pizza Co. We’re the new kids on the block, bringing wood fired pizza to the people of Bath through our partnerships with local food producers, farmers and brewers.
We’ve been trading for a couple of months, so thank you to all of our customers who’ve already been down and helped us to test and refine our menu.
Our friends at Green Park Station's Bath Farmers' Market have helped us craft our product and contributed to our menu - we’re pretty chuffed to have a great bunch of food producers on our doorstep which helps make our pizza awesome. We’ll be introducing monthly specials inspired by our Bath and Somerset farmer friends so watch this space over the coming weeks.
We’re simply foodie folk who love creating great menus by partnering with local producers, farmers and brewers. We get excited about bringing great ingredients together and creating bespoke menus with ongoing input from our customers and partners.
We’re also the sister company of the Green Park Brasserie here at Green Park Station in Bath city centre where we’ve worked with Bath’s finest butchers, bakers and brewers for the past 25 years.
In-fact there’s only a couple of metres between us and we welcome our customers to use the Braz if they fancy taking their pizza inside, or using our seating area here in Green Park Station (excldues Fri & Sat evenings). We (like the Brasserie) put on live music events over the summer months with music sets and performances from Bath's talented musicians.
We think Green Park Station is probably the best place to be in Bath on a Saturday morning, where you can enjoy Bath’s local markets and produce from Bath’s foodies and traders so if you’re in the area give us a wave.
Our pizza chef and guru Jonah is running the show here in Bath. Using fresh, local ingredients all of our pizzas are made to order. We don’t buy into the pre made dough bases or mass production that the big boys in our game play by. Made for you and cooked at 350° for 3 minutes in our wood fired oven, we’re pleased to offer a much better pizza product at a competitive price. We’re also around half the calorie count (on average) of the big chains.
Check out our pizza menu where you can select from our classics or make it yours from our range of ingredients. We also have a bar so you can enjoy some of Bath’s local cider from our friends at Iford Cider or anything else between soft drinks, pale ales, spirits and our selection of wines.
We’re always looking to improve our menu, so if you’re a local food producer or customer don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re a sociable bunch too, so keep an eye out for our summer events here on our blog where we’ll be bringing down some of Bath’s finest musicians for your ears.
