Already stocked by a
growing number of pubs, bars, hotel chains, restaurants as well as
independent retailers and delis across the country, PIE provides
cost-effective and profitable solutions to everyday catering
challenges. PIE's are versatile, easy to store, easy to cook, easy to
serve and the product delivers on promise as top-end restaurant quality.
From their headquarters
near Maidstone, Kent, PIE produces an innovative range of Handmade
premium quality pies that are delivered frozen and can be finished
off by baking; resulting in delicious, home baked pies stuffed full
of goodness.
PIE uses locally
sourced, traceable ingredients and has first hand knowledge of where
their "beef grazed and where each leek was sprung".
Everything is made by hand, from the puff pastry to hearty fillings
crammed full of nutritious free-range meat, fish and vegetables,
herbs and spices.
Today, PIE is a
producer, wholesaler and retailer of premium quality handmade pies,
with a retail outlet in London Bridge, a thriving wholesale business
and plans to open more sites in London and the South East.
"Many pies had
become little more than half filled pastry skips, where the unusable
cuts were hidden in soggy pastry and then sold as cheap as possible.
We at PIE decided to do something different: We use prime cuts of
locally sourced free range meat, great quality fresh herbs and
vegetables and create ingenious fillings which we then wrap in
delicious light puff pastry. The pies are not formed in tin foil, so
they bake all round and are as good eaten from the hand as they are
plated with mash potato and gravy," says Patrick Robertson, MD.
PIE's strategy is to
become the leading provider of quality frozen pies to catering
operations and food service companies that need a hand made,
restaurant quality pie that generates repeat custom and provides an
easy to use, profitable menu item. PIE's offer is also ideal for
larger food service operators that can re-sell the product frozen, as
part of a range.
