🥧 Customer Spotlight – Piesmiths, Liverpool 🥧

It was a pleasure to welcome Dan from Piesmiths to John Hunt (Bolton) Pie and Tart Machines recently.

With demand for Piesmiths' incredible range of pies continuing to grow, and after picking up numerous awards over the last two years, Dan came to us looking to increase production while maintaining the outstanding quality and appearance that customers have come to expect.

We spent plenty of time working together to fine-tune our die sets, ensuring they produced exactly the look Dan was aiming for. We believe every great pie deserves a great finish, and judging by these photos... we'd say the results speak for themselves! 📸🥧

It's always a pleasure working with customers who are so passionate about their craft. Dan's dedication to producing exceptional pies was clear from the moment he arrived, and our engineers thoroughly enjoyed helping bring his vision to life.

Of course, the highlight for our engineering team might just have been receiving a selection of Piesmiths' award-winning pies to sample. We're pleased to report they disappeared very quickly! 😄

Thank you, Dan, for choosing John Hunt. We wish everyone at Piesmiths continued success and look forward to seeing your award-winning pies reach even more customers in the years ahead.

Seeing these fantastic pie photographs, kindly provided by the team, it's easy to understand why they're delighted. The pies have a superb finish, excellent consistency, and look every bit as good as they taste!

Having taken a look at The Jolly Drovers' website, it's clear that food is at the heart of everything they do. Their commitment to freshly prepared dishes, locally sourced ingredients, generous portions, and traditional pub favourites shines through in every plate they serve. The quality and presentation of these pies are a great reflection of that passion for great food.

At John Hunt Bolton – Pie and Tart Machines, there's nothing better than hearing how our machines are helping businesses produce outstanding products day after day. The Little Champion continues to prove itself as a reliable workhorse, delivering consistent, high-quality pies that customers love.

A big thank you to everyone at The Jolly Drovers for taking the time to get in touch and share these wonderful images. We wish you continued success and look forward to seeing many more delicious pies coming off your Little Champion machine in the months and years ahead!
