Round Hill Roastery roasts in Radstock, Somerset.
Since 2012 · Eddie Twitchett
Overview
Round Hill was founded in 2012 by Eddie Twitchett, a hospitality worker in Bath who took roasting courses with Morten Munchow and Ben Townsend at the London School of Coffee, then sank his savings into a Probatone 12 in a Radstock industrial unit. He sold at Bath Farmers Market every week until wholesale partners arrived. Tim Gane now serves as head roaster; production runs on Giesen W15 and W1 machines.
Known for
- Founded 2012 in a Radstock garage by Eddie Twitchett
- Pink bags for espresso, blue bags for filter — distinctive shorthand
- Tim Gane as head roaster, sourcing trips to Colombia and Central America
- Connection to the wider Bath specialty scene including Square Mile alumni
- Releases a new coffee roughly every 10 days
Why it matters
Round Hill is the quiet anchor of the South West English specialty scene — small enough to maintain individual relationships with each producer, big enough to wholesale across the country, and specifically interested in the farm rather than fashionable processing trends.
