Alright, folks, gather round – it’s time to talk pies. But not just any pies – we’re talking about the crème de la crème, the pièce de résistance, the absolute best bloomin’ pies in the UK. And what’s our secret, you ask? Well, settle in and let us spill the beans.
First things first – we’re a Yorkshire-based bunch, hailing from the quirky city of Hull, a place that has been through tough times and faced a lot of criticism, but has pulled itself up to become one of the most fascinating, creative, forward-thinking and friendly cities in the UK. And let us tell you, there’s something special about Hull and Yorkshire that just lends itself to pie perfection.
Local folk don’t suffer fools gladly, and they’re truly committed to their love of a good pie. Don’t mess with my pie, they said. So we didn’t. We kept it simple, traditional, but we did it really, really well, and low-and-behold our pies found their way into the hearts (and stomachs) of Hull, and to the Number 1 spot on Tripadvisor with months of opening back in 2011.
Now, let’s talk about what sets our pies apart from the rest. For starters, they’re all lovingly handmade right here in our bakery in Hull. That’s right – no mass production, no assembly lines, just good old-fashioned handcrafting at its finest. We’ve been at this game for over 12 years now, and we’ve really honed our recipes in that time.
But it’s not just about the recipe – it’s about the ingredients too. We’re big believers in sourcing locally wherever possible, because when you use the freshest, most delicious ingredients, it really does make all the difference. From succulent chunks of locally sourced steak to plump, juicy chicken breasts, our pies are bursting with flavour from top to bottom.
And let’s talk about that pastry – oh, that delicious pastry! Golden, flaky, and oh-so-moreish, our pastry is the stuff pie dreams are made of. But don’t just take our word for it – one bite and you’ll be hooked.
Now, here’s where things get really exciting – our pies can be delivered straight to your door. That’s right – whether you’re craving a classic steak pie, a hearty chicken pie, or something a little more adventurous like our vegan or gluten-free options, we’ve got you covered. Just hop online, place your order, and get ready to experience pie perfection in the comfort of your own home. They are all delivered unbaked and frozen so that your bake is the very first bake, giving you the freshest texture and flavour possible.
But perhaps the greatest testament to the quality of our pies is the passion of our loyal customers. From the folks here in Hull who’ve been enjoying our pies for years to those all over the UK who’ve been going absolutely nuts since we started offering mail order, it’s clear that our pies hold a special place in people’s hearts. A quick browse through people’s responses on our Facebook when they found out we were launching mail order will leave you in no doubt of our popularity.
So there you have it, folks – the secret recipe behind our award-winning pies. Handmade with love, bursting with local flavour, and delivered straight to your door – it doesn’t get much better than that. So why wait? Order online today and get ready to taste the best proper pies in the UK.
Happy eating!
Hi Pie lovers, Matt here. Happy New Year to you all! I hope it is a great year for everyone and your families. Unfortunately, I have some news that might upset a few of you. I have decided to close the business so that I can focus on new things in my life.
I know many of you will be pretty gutted to hear this, but business has been a real struggle these past two years, and working 60+ hours per week with limited time off on weekends has made me rethink things.
It’s been 13 years since I opened that little shop down Trinity House Lane, and it’s been the greatest achievement of my life. I’ve never really been able to grasp what I have made happen, and with the help of the incredible staff I’ve had over the years, we’ve made and sold well over a million pies, catered hundreds of weddings, won multiple awards, and most importantly, given you all great food and moments to treasure. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the love, kindness, and gratitude you have shown me since 2011. It really has made this Pie Man very humble indeed.
There are far too many people to mention everyone, but a special thanks must go to Steph, Carrie, and Cydnee, who have always excelled at our weddings and events over the years, to all the local businesses that have supplied us and helped us along the way. An extra special thank you must go to our baker, Steve, who has worked with me for over 10 years and has been an immense support to me. Pie literally wouldn’t have continued this long without him, and he is genuinely one of the best human beings on this planet. #maybe
We did try to pass the business on to a few people, but it wasn’t quite right for them. However, our bakery would be a great place for someone to take over. If there is anyone out there who is keen, just get in touch. 👍 Thank you for all you have given us.
