Festive pies in support of FareShare South West
Pieminister is joining forces with FareShare South West this Christmas to help fight hunger and local food waste.
When customers buy from Pieminister’s new range of festive pie kits, £4 will be donated to the charity.
The make-your-own kits come with ingredients for four different pies, as well as mash, minted mushy peas, gravy, plus crispy onions and cheese crumb.

“We’ve been working with FareShare South West for several years now, donating pies weekly which their teams work tirelessly to distribute to frontline charities,” says Jon Simon, Pieminister co-founder and managing director.
“Since April this year, we’ve donated over 40,000 pies to this incredible charity but the need for donations has never been greater.
“FareShare South West has stepped up in a crisis to bridge the food gap caused by Covid-19, and through sales of these mothership kits, we can offer further support during this challenging time for so many.”
All four of Pieminister’s festive pie options make a welcome return this year. There’s the Mistlemoo (British beef steak, free range British bacon & port), The Cracker (free range British turkey & ham), Christingle (honey roast parsnips, cheddar & chestnut) and the plant-based Good Elf (vegan ‘turkey’, cranberries & port).

The restaurant’s award-winning trio of gluten-free pies, certified by Coeliac UK, are also available online as a limited edition box of four this winter.
Available nationwide, the festive pie range can be found in Waitrose, on Ocado or Buy Pies by Post through Pieminister’s online shop, where they’re listed alongside the Festive Mothership kits and pie-themed gifts.
Pieminister’s restaurants are still offering home delivery on fresh hot pies via Deliveroo.
For groups who can’t get together this Christmas, Pieminister has created a Virtual Christmas Party Box so that everyone can celebrate as one with a pie feast, where they may be.
Pieminister pies are made with sustainably sourced, deforestation-free ingredients and come in plastic-free packaging. The independent family business is on a mission to ensure that sustainability runs through every part of the business and is working towards a series of ambitious goals to hit by 2025.
