Award-winning pie company to open first city centre venue next week

Great North Pie Co have announced they’ll be opening their first city centre-based venue later this month, joining the ranks at Kampus.

Acclaimed for their award-winning pies, the new spot will offer a cosy and intimate space where guests can enjoy a modern take on traditional pie and mash.

Inside, booth-style seating will make room for 20 covers, while an outdoor seating area overlooking the Kampus garden and canal will feature an extra 30 covers.

The first seasonal menu at the new venue will be available from February 2023 and features four butter-pastry pies, stuffed to the brim using only the highest quality ingredients from North West producers. The range is based on classic flavour combinations, including their 14-hour Braised Beef and Ale, Roast Chicken and Mushroom and the company’s hero Classic Lancashire Cheese and Onion.

Each pie on the menu is served with a wide range of sides, with choices including buttery mash or proper home-style chips, cauliflower cheese, pickled red cabbage, mushy garden peas or chip shop mushy peas all served with roast onion and brown sauce gravy or the house curry sauce.

There will also be weekly comfort food specials such as lamb and pea steamed suet puddings, corned beef hash, Lancashire Hot Pot, and keema and chips. To round off the perfect meal, desserts include school dinner-style sweet treats, like chocolate sponge and custard, or the classic sticky toffee pudding.

The drinks menu has been designed to compliment the pies with matching beers and wines. The menu includes the likes of Manchester Union Lager on draught, a selection of quality wines and proseccos, plus a handful of spritz-style cocktails.

Breakfast sandwiches will be served daily between 10.30am and 2.30pm, and will feature quality versions of all the breakfast classics including Cheshire Smokehouse honey-cured bacon and Stornoway black pudding.

Great North Pie Co will open seven days a week at Kampus from Mon 27 Feb.
