Starters
Bruschetta with broad beans and burrata
Or
Mushroom Arancini

Mains
Green lasagne with asparagus, spinach, broad beans and pecorino cheese
Or
Polpette in a rich tomato sauce served with our very own sourdough bread

Dessert
Tiramisu
Or
Pannacotta with fresh strawberries

You can choose between:
2 courses for £32

🎂 Three Birthdays, One Roof.

On May 2nd, we’re throwing a bit of a party—and you’re invited.

It’s a big one for us as we celebrate a few milestones at the Old Fountain:

1 Year of our Italian Bistro 🍝

3 Years of Fountainview Bakery 🥖

5 Years of us looking after this beautiful, historic YHA building 🏰

To say a massive thank you for supporting us through every loaf of bread and bowl of Tiramisu, we’re hosting a special celebration dinner.

We’re doing it the true Italian way: Long-table family style. It’s going to be a cozy, convivial evening of passing platters, sharing stories, and clinking glasses with friends old and new.

The Details:

•The Food: A set menu with two choices for starters and mains (with delicious meat and veggie options).

•The Perk: Everyone joins the "family" for the night and gets a goody bag of treats to take home as a thank you from us.

•The Catch: Seats are limited and booking is essential.

Stay tuned for the full menu reveal next week! We can’t wait to celebrate this journey with the community that made it possible.

📅 Save the date: May 2nd

Aperitivo in the Peaks at La Fontana: come and savour La Dolce Vita with us!

Picture this: it’s Friday evening, the week is done and you’re looking forward to some quality time with friends or family.

Throw in a couple of ice-cold Spritz, delightful Italian morsels and some jaunty vintage Italian music. If you’re feeling extra hungry, you can always grab a few bits from our full menu too.

What’s not to love? That’s ‘Aperitivo’ done Peak District style. In Italy it is a beloved tradition marking the transition from the work day to the evening: good drinks, better snacks and even better company.

As the weather warms up and the evenings become longer, take a seat on our benches al fresco, overlooking the heart of the village. If it’s a little nippy outside, come and get cosy on our arm chairs and sofa.

📍 Find us in the heart of our beautiful village - Youlgrave
🍹 Aperitivo deal available Friday & Saturday from 5.45
✨ Walk-ins welcome
