Our Story and Heritage.
We've been handcrafting traditional pies and steamed meat puddings for over 40 years, and we're incredibly proud of the heritage we've built. Many of our recipes have stood the test of time for four decades, and we firmly believe in sticking to what works - the same trusted ingredients and time-honoured cooking methods that made us successful in the first place. Every single pie that leaves our bakery in Newhaven is made from scratch in our own kitchens. Our skilled cooks prepare rich, flavourful fillings daily, and we make all our own pastry, from flaky shortcrust to buttery puff pastry. What truly sets us apart is the sheer quality and generosity of our fillings - we pack our pies with ingredients rather than padding them out with gravy, which is why we recommend serving them with a separate jug of gravy on the side.
Our Products and What Makes Them Special.
We offer one of the UK's largest ranges of handcrafted pies, and there's something for everyone. Our signature Tavern Pies weigh around 320g each - noticeably larger than most competitors - and come in 22 different varieties including meat, chicken, vegetarian, and vegan options. We're particularly famous for our fully cooked Steamed Suet Meat Puddings, which we steam for almost five hours using traditional methods. These 360g puddings are real showstoppers that create a "wow factor" when served to customers. We also produce Deli Pies at 220g for lighter appetites, hand-raised individual Pork Pies made with traditional hot water pastry (a skill passed down through generations), and beautiful 2.5kg Gala celebration pies perfect for special occasions and buffets. All our products arrive with a minimum 7-day chilled shelf life and can be frozen for convenience.
Our Awards and Commitment to Quality.
We're honoured to have won 78 Great British Pie Awards over the years, including 7 awards in 2025 and 7 in 2024, which is testament to the quality and consistency we maintain. We're also BRCGS certificated and have received Great Taste Awards. We supply directly to the premium end of the licensed trade - pubs, restaurants, and hospitality venues throughout mainland UK. For many years, we only delivered locally by van, but we listened to our customers who relocated outside our area and missed our pies. That's why we now offer convenient weekly delivery across most of mainland UK, with free delivery on orders over £65. We believe the proof of the pudding is truly in the eating, and we're confident that once you try our pies, you'll understand why our customers keep coming back for more.

What We Do and How We Do It.
At Bakehouse Pies, we specialise in creating premium-quality pies and puddings for pubs, restaurants, and hospitality businesses across the UK. Our approach is straightforward: we use proper ingredients, follow traditional techniques, and never take shortcuts. From the moment we start making pastry each morning to the final baking process, everything happens under our roof in Newhaven, East Sussex. We're passionate about generous portions and authentic flavors, which is why our main Tavern range weighs in at a substantial 320g per pie. Unlike many manufacturers who bulk out their products with gravy, we focus on filling ours with quality meat, vegetables, and seasonings. This means your customers get more value, and you can present the pie with gravy served alongside, making for a much better dining experience.
- *The Range We Offer
We've developed an extensive selection to cater for different tastes and dietary requirements. Our meat and poultry pies include classic combinations that have been customer favorites for decades, while our vegetarian and vegan options are just as hearty and flavorful. One of our most popular products is our traditional Steamed Suet Pudding - a proper British classic that takes nearly five hours to steam properly. These impressive 360g puddings are incredibly easy for your kitchen to prepare (just four minutes in the microwave), yet they arrive at the table looking spectacular. We also produce smaller 220g Deli Pies for those wanting a lighter meal, authentic hand-raised Pork Pies made using techniques that few bakers still master, individual Quiches perfect for summer menus, and large-format Gala Pies ideal for events and celebrations. Every product can be frozen, giving you maximum flexibility in managing your stock.
