The Brampton Pie Company began life 25 years ago. Equipment consisted of a redundant cooker from a local village school, a large saucepan and an even larger rolling pin, but the pies which emerged from the tiny back room turned out to be very special indeed. Within a few short months the basis of the business changed from selling mostly meat to a situation where the pie sales more than doubled weekly turnover.

So popular were the pies that parking within the village became virtually impossible and the village council were left with no alternative but to put down yellow lines to stop customers from parking both sides of the road! Largely ignored, these were closely followed by traffic wardens and then the police all trying to control the traffic. However, our parking battles ended with the opening of the first dedicated Brampton Pie Shop just a mile away in Huntingdon – leaving the police and traffic wardens at Brampton free to join the queue for pies.

There are some things we will never change. We have always used the best of everything and will always continue to do so! We will continue to make our incredible pastry on site and that goes for the puff pastry as well. We will never compromise our quality by offering less filling or a lower meat content and definitely no mechanically recovered meat! Pies take a long time to make and if they are worth making at all, they are worth making well!

Our dozens of gold awards for excellence, our champions trophies and certificates are all tucked discreetly away . Why? Because we know, and all our staff know, it matters not a jot how many awards we have: we are only as good as our last pie!
