Innovation Success for Pieminister

Oh, it was so cawsome to hear the Piefect news about Pieminister’s – now *award winning* – Souk Chouk chicken and harissa filo pie in the British Pie Awards 2024! (Yes, very delightfully, there is such a thing). It’s always great to see the fruits of the team’s efforts do well, and in this case great to have been part of the  ‘filled-right-to-the-brim’ team at Pieminister that conceived and brought this beaut to market!

Honestly, if you haven’t tried one yet they’re in Waitrose & Partners, Tesco and Ocado Retail Ltd – very much a case of winner, winner, filo pie dinner. Or lunch.

We’re now off for a well-earned bag of weekend Worm Treats and a pint of cold and frothy Twig Brew, but if you need some winning NPD, get in touch! (Hey! On Monday – that Twig Brew is calling… caw@thecrowflies.co.uk)
