St Martin's Coffee Roasters

St Martin's Coffee Roasters works out of Pennbury Farm in Great Glen, on the edge of Leicester, where a small team has been roasting specialty coffee for close to a decade. The business runs on both single-origin and blended coffees, sold as retail bags, a subscription program and coffee pods, alongside brewing equipment for anyone setting up a home or office setup. Loose-leaf tea sits alongside the coffee line, including an ethically sourced English breakfast blend rather than a generic house tea. Wholesale is a core part of the operation rather than a sideline: St Martin's supplies roasted coffee, installs and services La Marzocco and La Spaziale espresso machinery, and runs barista training for other Leicester hospitality businesses building out their own coffee programs, including the Crafty burger restaurant among its local accounts. That equipment-and-training role - not just selling beans but keeping other cafes' machines running and their staff trained to use them - puts St Martin's closer to a regional coffee-service operator than a single-shop roastery, even though the retail side, sold direct from the farm base and online, still runs on the same beans supplied to its wholesale clients.
