Have you ever wondered what Rivington’s terrain looks like?

Those lines running across this map aren’t walking routes, they’re contour lines, and they tell the story of the land.

Each line represents a change in elevation. The closer together the lines are, the steeper the ground.

The further apart they are, the gentler the slope.

And if you’ve ever made the climb up towards Rivington Pike, your legs will already know exactly what those tightly packed lines mean. 😂

Rivington Pike sits at 363 metres above sea level, rising above the surrounding West Pennine Moors, with the landscape falling away towards the reservoirs and lower ground below.

Then there’s the Pigeon Tower, sitting high on the terraced hillside — part of the remarkable landscape created around the former Lever Park estate.

Not just somewhere we go for a walk, ride our bikes, grab a coffee or climb the Pike, but as a landscape shaped by height, water, geology and people over time.

And somewhere amongst all those gradients, paths, woodland, and moorland is our little Fika. ☕️

Did you know… walking for leisure is the most popular physical activity in England!

Around 22.9 million adults now take part in leisure walking, which is nearly half the adult population.

Rivington has long been a much loved place for walkers.

22.9 million pairs of walking boots… and we reckon a fair few of them deserve a coffee afterwards. 😁

The land we come back to.

Some of our best customers have four legs. 🐾☕️🌲

If there’s one thing we know about Fika customers, it's that half of them are our furry friends.

They know the route.

They know where Fika is.

And most importantly… they know where the treats are 😂

Rivington is basically dog heaven. Muddy walks, woodland trails, reservoirs, sticks absolutely everywhere, and we love that Fika has become part of that adventure.

So, we thought it was about time we gave our four-legged customers their own little special Fika offering too.

We’re very excited to announce that we’ll soon be stocking Rivington Chews

A local business producing 100% natural, air-dried pet chews and treats, perfectly packaged in compostable bags to take along on your walks. 🌲🐾

While their humans enjoy their coffee and cake, our gorgeous four-legged customers can now enjoy their own Fika treat too with their Puppuccinos. ☕️🍰🐾

Because at Fika, your dogs are just as important as you human customers. 🤎

We should be collecting our first batch this coming week, and we can't wait!!

If you’re one of the first lucky pups to get your paws on them, make sure you tag us!

WE’RE HIRING AT FIKA RIVINGTON ☕️🌲

We’re looking for someone to join our coffee team with an immediate start.

Front of House – Weekend Staff

This role will primarily cover weekends, and availability to work public holidays is essential.

Fika isn’t your typical coffee shop. We’re tucked away in the beautiful Rivington countryside, surrounded by woodland, walking trails and some pretty incredible views. 🌲

Because of our location, you’ll need to be able to drive and, importantly, genuinely enjoy the idea of working somewhere a little more remote and outdoorsy.

We’re looking for someone who is naturally confident, friendly and wants to become part of the Fika vibe. Someone who enjoys being somewhere there’s always something going on, from events and collaborations to seasonal ideas and trying something new.

Our location might be peaceful and tucked away in the countryside, but Fika can be quite the opposite, especially at weekends!
We get extremely busy, so we’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can think on their feet and actually enjoys the buzz of a busy shift.

You’ll need to be:

☕ Naturally friendly, confident and approachable
🤎 Genuinely interested in people and providing amazing customer service
🌲 Someone who loves being outdoors and is happy working in a rural environment
🚗 Able to drive (we have a work van we may need you to drive)
🙌 Comfortable using your own initiative and working independently when needed, as well as being part of a team
😊 Positive, reliable and happy to get stuck in

Coffee making experience is preferred but not essential.

We’re much more interested in finding someone with the right personality and attitude. We can teach you how to make a great coffee!

There’s also the opportunity for the role to grow with Fika, which could mean additional hours beyond weekends in the future, more responsibility as the business develops, and opportunities for further coffee training and training days.

We’re looking for someone who wants more than just a weekend job — someone who would genuinely enjoy being part of the team and everything we’re building at Fika. 🤎

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
