Our Pies

The fillings in our range of pies are unique

The fillings in our range of pies are unique – each developed by Marc. We bake seven varieties each week. The range includes our best sellers; Breton chicken and shin of beef, as well as recipes comprising meat, game, fish and vegetarian ingredients.

We have a number of cream based fillings and those with a dark stock base. Although all are delicious reheated, the cream-based fillings work really well cold – perfect for picnics!

What makes our award-winning pies special?

  • They have a shortcrust pastry shell and lid. We make the delicious shortcrust pastry ourselves from butter, flour, vegetable oil and water
  • We add organic maize flour to make the pastry short and crisp.
  • We use only natural flavourings. We don’t use emulsifiers, stabilisers or artificial flavourings.
  • Our fillings are prepared by hand. We peel and chop. We smoke, roast our spices and marinate. It takes us three days to make the stock.
  • Our custom made baking tins allow hot air to circulate under the pastry base – meaning no soggy bottoms!
  • We regularly introduce new recipes.
  • We buy from local companies. We also source the very best ingredients from throughout the UK, Europe and further afield for our unique combinations of flavours.
