About Pukka

In 1963, husband and wife team Trevor and Valerie Storer started making pies. Understandably word of a good pie spreads fast, and the entrepreneurial pair sold over a thousand pies in the first week.

Selling their signature Steak & Kidney pie to pubs, fish and chip shops, and locals, the Storers’ pie popularity picked up quickly, and they soon dreamt up new recipes to keep their happy customers coming back for more.

Pukka is still an independent family company today. We’re just a little bigger, that’s all! With more than 50 years spent making pies, we’ve become quite the experts. These days our 360-strong team sells around 60 million pies a year in the UK and even abroad.

But while we may have grown, we’re still based in Leicestershire just a stone’s throw from where it all began, baking all of our pies on site using many of Trevor and Valerie’s original recipes. We’re proud to make pies that are distinctively Pukka, and with our tasty, honest, feel-good food, we put smiles on faces at dinner tables, football games and local chippies.

Please let us know of any reasonable adjustments you may need at any part of the recruitment process and how we can support you.
