Lovely company. Always a brilliant delivery service from Bowen Pies. The pies arrive chilled, ready for your fridge or freezer and are excellent and good value.

Fabulous
Quick delivery and fantastic tasting pies. Plenty filling inside and the pastry is so good. I’m glad I found this place.

Still the best pies that I know of…
This review is for someone, like ourselves, who may not have ordered from Bowen’s for a while. In our case, 8 months. This was due to personal reasons that meant ordering food online was simply not a priority.
As everyone will know, we are constantly having to endure a noticeable drop in standards of many food items, mostly from Supermarkets, I.e., reductions in size, lesser quality ingredients, etc., so part of me expected the same here.
I’m delighted to report that the quality hasn’t dropped one iota. Yes, the pies aren’t the cheapest but you really do get what you pay for. Pastry and seasoning are outstanding and, unlike Supermarket pies which are filled with mostly air and a few chunks of gristle, these are still rammed full and with a good level of 100% edible meat content.
My message to the owners, please keep up the standards and continue to give us the choice that if we are prepared to pay for quality, that option is out there.

Wow, what a great review Jer, thank you. You’ve summed up exactly what we try so hard to protect. Proper pastry, proper filling and no shortcuts. It’s reassuring to hear that after a break you came back and found the same quality waiting for you. We hope to bake for you again soon!

We’re sorry to hear the taster box wasn’t for you on this occasion but we do appreciate the feedback. Many customers really enjoy using the taster box to discover their new favourites, but we understand tastes can differ. Thanks again for ordering with us.

Oh my god
Oh my god, the steak pie is the best I have ever eaten and at 69 years old I have eaten some pies in my time. The meat is lean , chunky and melts in the mouth with a gorgeous taste. The pastry is also a masterpiece. The meat and potato pie has the same delicious pastry with an excellent filling. The pork pie is also to die for. All are amazing quality,take it from me.

Nice selection of pies
Nice selection of pies. Well packaged and labelled. Good price with the starter pack offer for 6 pies but probably wouldn't pay as much as the regular price.

Thanks for the review, Michael. Great to hear you enjoyed the pies and found the taster box good value. If you order again, our Build a Pie Box offer is a handy way to mix and match your favourites at a better price.

Great quality produce but online prices higher
Great quality produce. I'm not sure why the pies are so much more expensive to buy for delivery compared to the shop as post and packaging is charged separately. I think due example the steak is £3.25 in the shop but £5.45 online and then postage is added on top. Would be five stars if they charged shop prices then added p+p on top.

Thanks so much for your review Ant, and for saying you enjoy the quality of our pies, that really means a lot.
Just to clear one thing up first, our steak pies in the shop are £4.50, not £3.25, so I think there might’ve been a mix up on the price there. That said, we completely get where you’re coming from on the online costs.
The reason there’s a small difference is because posting pies safely isn’t cheap - the insulated box, foil lining and cool packs alone come in at around £11 per order, before you even add in the online payment and website fees. That’s why online prices look a little higher compared to picking them up in person.
We’ve kept delivery as low as we can at £4.95, and it’s free if you’re ordering over £50. Hopefully that explains things a bit better.
We really do appreciate your feedback though and we’ll always be as open and fair as we can.

Glad to hear you enjoyed most of your pies Tony, and especially the pork. Sorry the cheese & onion wasn’t quite your cup of tea (or pie!) this time. Tastes do differ but we’ll keep an eye on the balance there. Appreciate the kind words and we’ll look forward to baking for you again soon.
