Bakehouse Pies

Bakehouse Pies works between the bakery and the kitchens of pubs, restaurants, and other food businesses. It specializes in handmade British savory pies: shortcrust and puff pastry, fillings prepared daily, and products supplied fully baked or cooked. The company retains recipes and methods with more than forty years of history, and its catalog ranges from a lighter lunch to a pub main course.

Tavern Pies sit at the center of the offering. They weigh around 320 grams, come in boxes of six, and combine baked pastry with chicken and other meat fillings. The meat range includes sixteen fillings; a separate line offers six alternatives, three vegetarian and three vegan. Their size and variety allow several dishes to share one format without limiting the selection to a single recipe.

Deli Pies bring the same approach to a 220-gram portion. Packed in boxes of nine, they are intended for a lighter meal or a smaller appetite. The selection includes meat choices and vegetarian and vegan alternatives. For both ranges, Bakehouse recommends serving a small pitcher of gravy on the side so the sauce can be added at the table.

Another range brings back suet meat puddings: savory meat pies wrapped in traditional suet pastry and steamed for almost five hours. Portions weigh around 360 grams, with four fillings available. They arrive fully cooked for reheating in the customer’s kitchen, a format that differs from a baked pie in both its pastry and preparation.

Pork pies are handmade with hot-water crust pastry and pork fillings, using methods the company traces to its founders. Individual pies weigh around 230 grams. For buffets and celebrations, a 2.5-kilogram Gala Pie comes with chicken and ham, pork, or game, and can be divided into about twelve generous portions. Individual 195-gram quiches complete the selection with five fillings, three of them vegetarian.

Recognition accompanies that specialization: the company reports more than eighty British pie awards and eight honors in 2026, including a category win. That competition record helps place the bakery’s work in context without replacing the choice of the right product for a particular menu. Trade customers can request samples to try the formats before adding them to their service.

Distribution combines the company’s own deliveries and courier service, with weekly delivery reaching most of mainland Britain. Tavern Pies and individual pork pies arrive with seven days of refrigerated shelf life; the company also allows freezing according to the individual product instructions. This is a supply service for kitchens and businesses rather than a restaurant menu for dining at the bakery.

From its address at Unit 6, Avis Way, Newhaven, East Sussex, Bakehouse serves pubs, hotels, restaurants, distributors, butcher shops, and garden centers. Orders are organized by product ranges and boxes, with an account for trade customers. The structure brings together savory baking traditions and service needs: portion size, filling variety, and final preparation in the kitchen serving the food.
