apetito | Wiltshire Farm Foods is preparing plans for a new production facility called ‘Kitchen West’. Our ambition is to create a world-class, regenerative food manufacturing facility for Trowbridge.
The need for a New Food Manufacturing Facility
As a company we are experiencing strong growth and need to meet increasing customer demand. Our current site on Canal Road is no longer large enough on its own to produce the numbers of meals required.
Our plan is to build a new state-of-the-art food production facility, which will enable us to keep our manufacturing business at our home in Trowbridge - retaining our invaluable people and skills.
Our vision is for Kitchen West to be a world-class, regenerative production kitchen for Trowbridge that will have a net positive impact on the natural and human environment and provide resilience in the face of a changing climate. Our ambition is to build one of the most sustainable food factories in the UK – we look forward to sharing this with you.
To learn more about our plans, please read the information we shared at our Public Consultation sessions held on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th March.

The Site
The site is entirely situated within the Canal Road Industrial Estate at the northern outskirts of Trowbridge. It is made up apetito’s Pie Site land, the former site of Bradfords Building Merchants, two bungalows and a section of land purchased from Airsprung Group PLC.
Time frame
We are applying for a Section 80 Demolition Notice in April 2025. Our plan is to deconstruct a number of the existing buildings to reuse and recycle materials, where feasible, to reduce waste and minimise the carbon footprint of the project.
Subsequently, we are aiming to submit a Planning Application to Wiltshire Council in the weeks to follow. The Council will notify local residents and businesses when the application has been submitted.
