Pieminister

Pieminister is a British pie company based in Bristol. The company says it has been crafting pies there since 2003, when founders Jon and Tris returned from a trip around Australia with the aim of giving British pies a new spin. They began in a small Bristol kitchen, and the business remains based in the city. Jon and Tris are brothers-in-law and, according to the company, still run the business together. Pieminister describes itself as proudly independent and family-run. The brand’s central offering is a range of pies intended for different tastes and dietary preferences. Its stated range includes meat, vegetarian, plant-based and gluten-free pies, with examples such as steak and ale pies and a newly promoted Cumberland sausage pie with Cheddar, onion and potato. The company presents its pies as comfort food made with responsibly sourced ingredients and says it does not cut corners on the fillings. It also sells pie-and-mash merchandise online and in its restaurants. Pieminister says its pies gained a following at venues and events including Borough Market and Glastonbury. Its homepage identifies Bristol as its base and promotes its pies, restaurants, online shop and merchandise. The company also describes sustainability and social impact as part of its approach. In 2020, it launched its Pies, Planet, People commitments, comprising nine targets intended to be met by 2025; the company says it has since set new commitments for the following five years. Its website also highlights charitable and community activities, including work with local charities and fundraising connected with mental health.
