What to buy at Better Food: We stock a wide range of Pieminister’s individual pies, including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.

Pieminister began life right here in the heart of Bristol in 2003, when friends Jon Simon and Tristan Hogg took on the challenge of reviving the great British pie industry. Mission accomplished, Pieminister have inspired a new generation of British pie makers but remain one of the most recognised and loved brands for their consistently impeccable pastry and delicious fillings, winning each and every one of their Classic range a Great Taste Award.
Their popular meat and vegetarian pie range has now grown extensively to include several gluten free pies, and a vegan pie called – very simply – Kevin.

Mission and values: Pieminister prioritise responsible sourcing of their ingredients; as well as committing to using 100% free range British chicken, turkey and pork, they hold Compassion in World Farming’s Good Egg, Good Chicken and Good Pig Awards.
Pieminister watch their waste too, donating the small amount of surplus pies they produce to charities and good causes through their Little Acts of Pie-ness initiative.
