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!
