Home delivered pies....anyone tried them?

[Dave7]

Google throws up more and more ads for companies that make and deliver pies. They normally seem to cost eg £32 for a box of 8 which, if they are good quality, seems reasonable for a delivered price.
I don't eat a lot of pies but they might be handy to keep in the freezer.
So.......does anyone use any of these companies ?
BTW.....I do not bake so won't make my own.

I suppose if they weren't up to much you'd be stuck with the rest of the batch. Can you order from somewhere like Waitrose for home delivery? In the past we used to buy " Clive's Pies " as they made some very good veggie pies. Not tried them lately though.

Try Higgedy or Pieminster? Buy when on special or Yellow sticker from Waitrose etc

To explain. There is an excellent pie shop near me (limited opening hours) and I could bulk buy from them and freeze.
I am however just asking about this sudden influx of various companies offering home delivery.
So.....has anyone tried them ?

No, I've got a pie maker for when I fancy a pie.

If your local business offers you good taste and value for money, shop local. It supports a local enterprise, gives you a reason to get out and about and saves some of the environmental issues linked with home deliveries.

I'd go local - bulk buy from them. They will be about the same price, but much better.

When we visit father in law.We call at Barton Grange Garden Centre there is a shop inside.We buy our pies from them.A few at a time,bring them home and freeze them.They are the best,full of filling and a crust to die for.

I'd just use your local, limited opening hours are presumably not an issue for you as a retiree (as long as you know when they are open)?

Interesting, I'm very familiar with Barton Grange but Ive never thought to even look at the shop for food etc. Can you remember if there's any branding on the pies as if they're local, somewhere else round here might stock them.

I can thoroughly recommend The Great North Pie Company. Based in Wilmslow/Handforth but also deliver. 🤤

the sausage rolls are excellent too... 4 for £6 which considering the size, is very reasonable.

You don't say how big the pies are?

Our local ASDA sells Dicksons 4 x 90g Minced beef and onion £2-55 or a "family" version at 730g and £4-35.

They will deliver if you buy enough.

They (the pies) are excellent IMHO.
