At Mud Foods, we believe that down to earth good food starts with quality ingredients. That's why we’ve always been committed to sourcing our ingredients as locally as possible from farmers who we know. We don’t take for granted the trust our customers have placed in us, so you can be assured that no nasties are used in making our pies, only fresh, natural ingredients. For that reason, they can all be frozen to be enjoyed at a later date, and they freeze beautifully.

The Farm-to-Table Philosophy: Bringing You the Best

The farm-to-table movement has gained popularity in recent years and for good reason. It aims to reduce the distance between where food is grown or raised and where it ends up on our plates. By buying directly from farmers and growers, we can ensure that our ingredients are fresher, healthier and more sustainable. This was Mud’s ethos when the bakery was established in Chichester in 2009, and that same ethos and commitment is true today.

Freshness and Quality You Can Taste from Local Farmers and Growers

You probably won’t be surprised to hear that we believe only the best ingredients make the best pies. We take immense pride in going the extra mile to source the freshest, tastiest and best quality ingredients as locally as we can. From our juicy, tender meat to the vibrant, colourful vegetables, every ingredient is carefully selected to deliver a delicious and satisfying pie.

By supporting our local economy we also reduce our carbon footprint and love the strong, long-term relationships we have built with our suppliers.

Handmade Pies with Love and Care

Each pie is lovingly handmade by our team of expert pie makers. We are proud of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every single pie. From rolling out the buttery pastry to filling it with our mouth-watering fillings, every step is done with care and precision.

The Importance of Sustainability in Our Pies

Our choices have differing impacts on the environment and so by reducing food miles and supporting sustainable farming practices we strive to minimise our carbon footprint. Focusing on the use of seasonal ingredients not only gives variety, but also avoids the food miles associated with the long-distance transportation of out of season produce.

Reducing Food Waste

One of the biggest challenges in the food industry is food waste. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that we only order what we need, reducing the amount of food that goes to waste.

Embracing Sustainable Packaging

We are constantly exploring more sustainable packaging options. Our packaging is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible, using recyclable materials and minimising plastic use. We also encourage our customers to recycle or reuse our packaging whenever possible.

Supporting Local Communities

Sourcing locally not only supports local farmers and growers but also contributes to local communities. We enjoy being an active member of our community and love getting involved with local events like the Guildford christmas market and supporting local charities like PACSO.

The Proof is in the Pie: The Difference is in the Taste

Our commitment to locally sourced, sustainable ingredients is not just lip-service – it's something that actually makes you lick your lips! From our Gold award-winning Steak and Ale Pie, to our tasty vegetarian options, you can trust that Mud Foods pies are made with love, care and creativity.
