Two Sidcot School graduates have launched a pizza business after renovating an old truck.

Chris and Wolfe, who finished their A levels last summer, have created a mobile wood-fired pizza business called Left-Handed Pizza.

This was made possible after their food technology and Leiths Cookery course teacher, Mr Meredith, gave them a dilapidated food truck.

The two young entrepreneurs spent the summer restoring the truck and are now catering at events, festivals, and private bookings across the South West.

"Sidcot played a huge role in preparing us to face these challenges with enthusiasm and a positive mindset.

"One of the highlights of my time at sixth form was the Leiths cooking course.

"It taught me to be organised and detail-oriented and gave me hands-on skills that were a refreshing change from traditional academics.

"Although I enjoyed all my classes, Leiths really stood out because it was such a unique experience."

The duo plan to reinvest some of their profits to buy a food trailer or support a similar start-up opportunity for next year's Sidcot Leith's graduates.

"Out of everyone, Huw Meredith had the biggest impact—his encouragement to pursue this business and follow a career in the food industry gave us the confidence we needed.

"Sidcot provided not only the knowledge but also the opportunity and motivation to take this leap.

"We're incredibly proud of the hard work we've put into launching our business and are excited about what lies ahead."

Since launching Left-Handed Pizza last month, Chris and Wolfe have sold more than 500 pizzas at events across North Somerset.

They have two regular pop-up locations and a packed calendar of events in the coming months.
