The Heart of the Community: Why Shopping Small Matters

In a world of big corporations and impersonal shopping experiences, there’s something truly special about supporting small, independent family businesses. And guess what? We’re not just any small business – we’re an award-winning, independent family business, and we’re here to tell you why shopping with us matters.

First off, let’s talk about the personal touch. When you shop with a small, independent family business like ours, you’re not just another customer – you’re part of the family. From the moment you walk through our doors (or visit the website), you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and a genuine desire to make your shopping experience the best it can be. We take pride in getting to know our customers personally, because to us, you’re more than just a transaction – you’re a valued member of our community.

But it’s not just about the warm fuzzies – it’s about quality too. As an independent family business, we have the freedom to handpick the products we sell, ensuring that each and every item meets our high standards of excellence. Whether it’s our award-winning pies or a selection of locally sourced goodies, you can trust that when you shop with us, you’re getting the very best, and that we put absolutely everything we have into making your experience and our products great.

And let’s not forget about the impact you’re making. When you choose to support small, independent family businesses like ours, you’re not just lining the pockets of faceless shareholders – you’re helping to support real people in your community. From putting food on the table to supporting local charities and initiatives, your patronage of small businesses makes a real difference in the lives of those around you.

And if you ever have any questions about any aspects of our service, you can be sure that it’s us – the business owners – the people who created the brand and make the product – who will work to resolve your issue, and we really, genuinely care about making sure you are a satisfied customer, because each and every customer counts.

So why wait? The next time you’re in need of some pie-spiration (or any other goodies, for that matter), why not give us a try? As an award-winning independent family business, we’re here to provide you with the personal touch, quality products, and sense of community that you just won’t find anywhere else.

Thank you for choosing to support small, independent family businesses like ours.

Together, we can make a real difference.

Important News: The Hull Pie is Closing

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.
