Decadent Desserts Designed to Delight!

Ah, summertime! The sun is (sometimes) shining, the birds are singing, and life is good. What better way to celebrate the season than with a scrumptious sweet pie ordered online and delivered straight to your door? It couldn’t be easier. Picture this: you're sitting in your garden with a pie on your plate and a smile on your face. The pie is smothered in cream and you’re cradling a chilled glass of wine. Sounds like a ‘slice’ of paradise, doesn't it?

We have evidence to suggest that digging into one of our sweet pies is a transcendent experience. No, we’re not exaggerating. That's why we created our selection of mouthwatering pies; for the sole purpose of transporting you to a world of pure unadulterated indulgence. Whether you want to satisfy your sweet tooth after a hike or treat yourself to a heavenly dessert after a Sunday stroll, our pies are here to make your summer moments even sweeter. 

Apple & Blackcurrant

Let's start with a divine combination that never fails to hit the sweet spot: Apple and Blackcurrant. Imagine biting into a slice of our homemade sweet shortcrust pastry, only to be greeted by the perfect blend of sliced apples and juicy blackcurrants, drenched in a delicious apple and cinnamon sauce. The flavours dance on your tongue, creating a symphony of sweetness that will leave you craving more. And who are we to stand in your way? Go on, have another one!

Rhubarb & Strawberry

If you're a fan of rhubarb, we've got just the pie for you. Our Rhubarb and Strawberry pie strikes the perfect balance between tartness and sweetness. Tangy rhubarb blends harmoniously with sweet, plump strawberries, creating a delightful flavour explosion that will make your taste buds sing. It's a match made in pie heaven!

Apple Pie

Of course, we couldn't forget the timeless classic that is our Apple pie. Sometimes, simplicity is the key to perfection, and our Apple pie embodies just that. Sliced apples in an exquisite apple and cinnamon sauce, encased in our yummy homemade sweet shortcrust pastry. With every bite, you'll be transported back to your childhood, when the world was filled with carefree summer days and the aroma of granny’s freshly baked pies.

Apricot & Peach

For those who prefer a tropical twist, our Apricot and Peach pie is a dream come true. Savour the taste of summer with sliced apricots and peaches in a gorgeous apricot and vanilla sauce, all lovingly wrapped in our signature shortcrust pastry. Close your eyes and let the flavours transport you to a sun-drenched paradise, where the ocean waves gently caress the shore and the breeze carries the scent of ripe fruits. Or, alternatively, open your eyes and enjoy in your back garden!

Chocolate, Pear & Almond

Last but certainly not least, we present our Chocolate, Pear, and Almond pie. This indulgent treat is a chocoholic's dream, filled to the brim with luscious pear, extra chocolatey goodness, and a hint of almond. It's the perfect choice for those who crave a little extra decadence in their desserts

The Practical Bit

Now that we’ve sung the praises of our sweet pies, here’s how you can order and enjoy your next batch of sugary deliciousness.

Order and Delivery

We dispatch to mainland UK once a week on the trunk routes from Inverness. At checkout you can pick your dispatch date. We aim to send it on your chosen date, but please bear with us during this busy season. 

How to Enjoy your Favourite Sweet Pie

If you have a microwave, remove your pie from the base and place in the microwave for approximately 50-60 seconds (depending on the power of your microwave). We've found this helps to bring the filling to life. Then pop it into the oven at 180°C for approximately 10 minutes.
 
If you don't have a microwave, place directly into a preheated oven at 180°C for a minimum of 20 minutes.
 
Please always ensure that the pie filling is piping hot and (if you have a food thermometer) is heated to at least 74°C.
