Some concerns included inconsistent meat quality with occasional chewy or gristly pieces, thick pastry detaching from foil cases, and a few customers citing ingredient concerns (seed oils, maltodextrin).

Amazing pies

Really enjoyed the flavours but only found three pieces of steak. For a premium pie, which they are I would of expected a bit more meat. Also the top isn't attached and comes off when you are trying to remove them from the foil tray.

I really don't want to write this review, I loved these pies when I first started to buy them, but the last two lots haven't been as good, sadly the meat has been chewy, not the quality of the first lots I had, I think this company is wonderful, great customer service and the cakes are delicious, but I've been disappointed with my pies, I will definitely keep using this company and definitely order their cakes again, but not sure if I will order their pies anymore 😢

The case pastry is hard to take out of the aluminium case as it doesn't cook as hard as the lid pastry.

Not For Us.

Sorry, We are not happy with eating anything that has 'seed oil's in its ingredients, (rapeseed and definitely not Palm Oil)
The other ingredient that is a nasty one, is Maltodextrin, that seems to be in many things these days and has a very bad reputation. We will not be ordering any more from you.

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.
