There are few things we love more than a new launch, and we're absolutely thrilled to announce our latest opening....introducing Flour & Ash, Whiteladies Road!
Formerly situated by the Arches on Cheltenham Road, Flour & Ash was heralded as one of the best pizza restaurants in the city before closing its doors in August 2020. In collaboration with original founder, Steve Gale, Hyde & Co founders Nathan Lee, Jason Mead and Kevin Stokes brought the brand back to life as a temporary takeaway pop up at Bambalan throughout the last lockdown, and are now opening a new dine-in restaurant on the corner of Whiteladies Road and Alma Road, previously occupied by Polpo and Number 50.
The new Flour & Ash will be a 140 seater restaurant and bar with an open pizza kitchen, a terrace at the front of the building and future plans for an outer dining area at the rear. The focus for food will continue to be the freshly prepared, wood-fired pizzas the brand is known and loved for, alongside small plates, salads and a perfectly curated selection of wines, cocktails, craft beer and cider. The main menu will be served all day from 12pm-10pm, and customers will also be able to enjoy pastries and coffees from 8am.

peaking about the new opening, our founder Nathan Lee said:
“We were all huge fans of Flour & Ash and are so privileged to be continuing the name and their reputation for some of the best pizzas in town. We loved working with Steve to bring Flour & Ash back to life during the last lockdown with our takeaway pizza pop up at Bambalan, and having lost our previous Whiteladies site; The Ox Clifton, to a fire back in 2019, we’re so excited to be opening up on Whiteladies; a street we’ve all frequented many times as born and bred Bristolians! We’re hoping to bring Flour & Ash’s amazing pizzas and Hyde & Co’s brilliant cocktails and hospitality to the new opening, and can’t wait to give this site a new lease of life.”
Flour & Ash is now recruiting for members of the new team to help set up and run the new venue, including pizza chefs, front of house and a new General Manager. The Hyde & Co Group is widely recognised as one of the most exciting hospitality groups in Bristol and a great place to work, offering competitive salaries, tips and plenty of training and career progression. Applications for roles across the new venture are open and applications should be sent to recruitment@hydeandcobristol.com.
Work is now underway on the refurbishment of Flour & Ash, and we're hoping to be opening in late July. In the meantime you can stay up to date with the latest news and announcements on our social accounts, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
