Great North Pie Co to open kitchen and bar
The company also supplies pies to some pubs such as Robinsons Brewery and Peach Pubs
The Great North Pie Co has announced that it is set to open a kitchen and bar in the Manchester city centre space, Kampus in February.
The opening of the site in the centre of Manchester will join the company’s existing sites including places in Altrincham and the Lake District.
The news comes after the company agreed deals to supply Stockport Country and Leeds United with pies as well as a listing with premium supermarket Booths.
Neil Broomfield, co-founder, said : “We’re lucky to be in this position and we don’t take anything for granted. We just focus on what we’re doing and always maintain the consistency and quality, both with our pies, but also through the way we treat our customers. We always try to do the best for them.
“We’re proud of how we work. We started from scratch without any knowledge or background in food production, so we’ve had to learn everything as we go. We always try to stay loyal and work with the same suppliers to help each other and to grow with them. We don’t chop and change. We’ve always invested back in the business to make it more productive and a nicer place to work for everyone here. There are difficult times ahead but we just need to focus, keep our heads down and keep on producing quality products.”
The company also supplies pies to some pubs such as Robinsons Brewery and Peach Pubs.
Clive Dixon, head of food at Peach Pubs, said: “We are proud to work with Neil and the team. We have a really good relationship and it’s great that we are able to work together on creating new flavours. If you want good quality, you go up north, and Great North Pie Co has beaten off the competition in all tastings I’ve done. The pies really are special and are phenomenal.”
