In a delicious twist of fate, North Yorkshire‘s very own, The Gluten Free Kitchen, is riding the crest of a culinary wave as they secure a significant six-figure investment boost from NPIF – FW Capital Debt Finance.
The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund managed by FW Capital has stepped in to support this thriving business, fueling its expansion and facilitating the creation of five new jobs.
A Taste of Success
The Gluten Free Kitchen, a cherished establishment founded in 2005 by Sue Fleming, has evolved into a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with coeliac disease.
Sue, with her unwavering commitment to addressing the challenges faced by those in search of gluten-free and ‘free-from’ food, embarked on a culinary journey. She delved into a world of experimentation, crafting a mouthwatering array of dishes that are now readily available through The Gluten Free Kitchen’s online store.
Not content with staying confined to the virtual realm, The Gluten Free Kitchen expanded its reach. Today, you can find a selection of their delectable products gracing the shelves of selected Waitrose stores, making their mark on the digital marketplace via Ocado, and adorning the shelves of independent outlets and farm shops across the United Kingdom.
From heavenly ‘free-from’ cakes to scrumptious puddings and savoury pies, their range of offerings is nothing short of a gastronomic marvel.
From Village Charm to Business Park Ambitions

Fuelled by an ever-increasing demand for their delectable creations, the business has outgrown its roots and now resides in larger production facilities with a charming retail outlet in Leyburn.
As their star continues to rise, The Gluten Free Kitchen is setting its sights on even grander horizons. Plans are in motion to move to larger premises within the bustling Leyburn Business Park, an ambitious step to accommodate the surge in demand for their mouthwatering creations.
