Bakers of The People's Pie

About us

Way back in 1960s Leicestershire, husband and wife team Trevor and Valerie Storer started making pies. In 1963, Trevor Storer’s Homemade Pies baked their very first pies. Understandably word of a good pie spreads fast, and the entrepreneurial pair sold over a thousand pies in the first week. As the couple’s little bakery continued to grow, it came time for a new name – something that would reflect their deliciously hearty pies and their friendly, close-knit company. That’s how the Storers’ Homemade Pies became Pukka, a fun and fashionable Hindi-derived word for all things genuinely, properly good. With more than 50 years spent making pies, we’ve become quite the experts. These days our 350-strong team sells around 60 million pies a year in the UK and even abroad. But while we may have grown, we’re still based in Leicestershire just a stone’s throw from where it all began, baking all of our pies on site using many of Trevor and Valerie’s original recipes. We’re proud to make pies that are distinctively Pukka, and with our tasty, honest, feel-good food, we put smiles on faces at dinner tables, football games and local chippies.

    At Pukka, we’re dedicated to helping our people thrive. That's why we host an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programme on site for those where English might not be their primary language. A lot of hard work and dedication goes into these programmes and we're so proud to see the team now receiving their City & Guilds Qualification. A huge well done to everyone that took part! 🙌 #esol #learning #community

    A special thank you to Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland for hosting our team yesterday with a pottery workshop with their Men & Women in Sheds initiative. It's an absolute pleasure for us to be able to support such a fantastic charity and cause. We have and will continue to support The Business Club and other key projects that make such a difference to the life of so many users from their general health and social interaction to their mental wellbeing.  We're proud to sponsor the Charnwood Men & Women in Sheds project which offers a place to enjoy practical pursuits with woodwork, metalwork, gardening, and pottery as well as social connection & friendship.  Our donations so far have enabled them to extend the pottery classes which has meant that they are in a better place to be able to generate funds to support the ever-increasing running costs.
