A NEW patisserie has opened inside the Five Valleys Shopping Centre.
The team at Choux Bun Appetit have welcomed diners over the weekend to their new patisserie inside Sandersons Boutique at the centre.
Choux Bun Appetit takes over the space from the owners of Italian coffee shop, Terra, who are wanting to focus their energy on their rapidly expanding wholesale business and Non solo pasta, which remains open at the Five Valleys indoor market.
Owner of Choux Bun Appetit, Josh Ambridge, is no stranger to Five Valleys as his business has been part of the centre’s indoor market since May last year.
He said: “After being established at the centre’s indoor market for just over a year I feel certain that this expansion is the perfect opportunity to allow me and my business to flourish.
“My customers are already saying how thrilled they are to be able to enjoy my creations alongside a larger menu and to be able to soak up the atmosphere in this high-class environment.
“By relocating my patisserie to Sandersons I offer my customers a full experience guiding them through beautiful and comfortable surroundings, a full delicious menu and the very best in customer service.”
At the patesserie customers can expect to find Josh’s pastries, including his macarons, Opera cakes, eclairs, cheesecakes, tarts and more.
Expanding his menu Josh will also be offering a range of brunch and lunch options as well as a selection of hot and cold drinks.
Josh, who is from Coaley near Stroud, started his career as a chef in a small pub doing his apprenticeship at Trouble House in Tetbury for a year before moving on to Calcot Manor for three years.
He then moved to Lords of the Manor in Stow on the Wold where he worked up to being Junior Sous Chef.
Josh entered the South West Chef of the Year competition twice reaching the finals both times and winning ‘Best Presentation’ and ‘Young National Chef of the Year’ in 2019, cooking at the London Olympia in front of a live audience.
