We are one of the country’s few bakeries specialising in the production of the authentic Melton Mowbray Pork Pie.

Walker & Son is an award-winning market leader in the production of high quality supermarket own label and branded pies. The business was founded in Leicester in 1824 and acquired by Samworth Brothers in 1986.

In fact we make and bake 80% of all of the UK’s Melton Mowbray Pork Pies and are one of the founding members of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association which was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in 2009.

At Abbey Bakery, which is where the Walker & Son journey began in the early 1800s, our dedicated team produce over 40 tonnes of the highest quality pastry every day. Our pies are then expertly crafted and baked at our main site, Charnwood Bakery, a few miles away in North Leicester.
