Christmas orders now open
The home of the world-famous Melton Mowbray Pork Pie — hand-raised by the same family techniques Mary Dickinson perfected over a century and a half ago.

The shop that
started it all
Based in the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, the spiritual home of the Pork Pie, we have been making and baking pies for over 170 years.
Our world famous Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe was originally a bakery opened by John Dickinson in 1851, but it was his Grandmother, Mary Dickinson, who is credited with creating the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie that we know and love today. First using a wooden dolly to hand-raise the pastry, then introducing jelly to protect the meat inside.
The finest locally sourced ingredients and Mary Dickinson’s techniques continue to be passed down through our passionate team of bakers. These award winning hand-crafted pies are baked daily and taste as good as they always have.
Don't just take our word for it
More than a subscription — a monthly adventure in local treats
Each month we hand-pick a box of different Melton favourites — at least two premium pork pies, a guest cheese or chutney, a savoury snack, a craft tipple and a bit of quirky Shoppe merch. No two boxes ever quite alike.
