Customers praised these minced beef pies as "the best" with "gorgeous flavour" and generous fillings. Most loved the "delicious light pastry" and noted pies are "crammed full" of meat. However, some found them too salty, too dry, or with excessive gravy. A few mentioned inconsistent filling amounts and small size for the price. Overall, highly rated for taste and quality.

Too salty

Can’t explain, the pastry was just salty, not the top, just the pie, spoilt it for the filling.

Disappointing

Disappointed with the percentage of actual beef in this pie.
I expected more given the price.

Thank you for your honest feedback — we’re really sorry to hear you were disappointed.

We understand that when you’re paying a premium price, you expect a generous amount of high-quality beef. Our pies are made using a specific beef-to-gravy ratio to ensure flavour, texture, and consistency in every bake, but we appreciate that expectations can differ.

Your comments are genuinely valuable to us, and we’ll be sharing this with our kitchen team for review.

Pie Makers Since 1936

The origins of our bakery date back to 1936 when Wilfred Charles Lewis, a local of Swansea & Gower, decided to start making pies for the community.

Wilfred Charles started his small bakery in a single room in Fleet Street, Sandfields. He made his pies in solid metal tins and cooled them on the pavement outside. Wilfred perfected his craft, and soon enough he gained a reputation for his delectable pies.

Today and since 2013 it’s the third generation of the Lewis family, Wilfred James Lewis, that continues to guide the business.
