We set out to find pork pie makers who still do things properly: hot water crust pastry made by hand, proper seasoning, the kind of thing you'd have bought from a proper butcher a generation ago. What we found surprised us—there's far more going on than the mass-produced stuff on supermarket shelves, and most of these makers will post directly to your door.
Whether you're after a box for midweek lunches, something to share at a gathering, or a genuinely unusual gift for someone who has everything, there's a real pork pie here worth ordering. All of these are made by independent producers we've vetted, not factory lines.
A set of six steak and kidney pies that takes the traditional pork pie template and runs with something altogether more robust. These aren't fussy—just proper meat, proper pastry, and proper seasoning.
The name alone tells you what to expect: a collection of smaller, speciality numbers that pair pork pie alongside quiche, so you get variety in one order. Ideal if you're feeding different tastes or want to try what the maker does best across a range.
If you're vegetarian or simply fancy something different, this cheese and onion pie proves the traditional hot water crust pastry works beautifully without any meat. Handmade to order, available in boxes of 6, 8 or 12 depending on what you need.
Four traditional family pork pies bundled together—the kind you'd expect to find at a village fête, made the way they've been made for decades. No gimmicks, no fancy flavourings, just pork and pastry done right.
At 3.5kg, this isn't a pie to slip in a lunch box. It's built for feeding a crowd, slicing into proper portions, and keeping its structure and flavour across several meals. The sort of thing you'd order for a family event or anyone with genuine appetite.
Hand-decorated with a personalised message on the pastry itself, this 2.2kg pie turns a family favourite into something genuinely thoughtful to send. It lands at the door looking like someone bothered to make something specially, because they have.
