Proper British Pies, Baked the Bowen Way
Welcome to Bowen Pies, home of traditional Lancashire baking and hearty British comfort food delivered straight to your door.
We’ve been feeding families since 1994, when Bowen first opened as a small butcher’s shop in Chorley… and discovered that customers loved our pies just as much as our meat.
Word spread quickly. People would pop in “just for a pork chop” and leave with a bag full of freshly baked pies. Before long, the pies became the star of the shop, and Bowen Pies was officially born.
Our Story (The Short Version)
Back in 1994, the Bowen family were running a local butchers with a simple mission - good quality, honest food. When we started making pies in the back of the shop, they took on a life of their own.
Customers recommended them to neighbours. Neighbours told their friends. Friends told everyone. The bakery grew, the ovens multiplied, and Bowen Pies evolved from a small town secret to one of Lancashire’s most loved pie makers.
Today, we’re still a family run bakery, just... scaled up a bit. Using a blend of traditional methods and modern machinery, we now bake around 40,000 pies a week for homes, shops and venues across the UK.
