Why a food magazine matters more
Most of our press came from football. England picked Kansas City, reporters needed a British voice, and we were available. We’re grateful for it — but it was a story about a squad that happened to mention a pie business.
A city food magazine is different. They’re writing about the food. No news hook, no tournament, nothing but whether what you make is worth telling people about.
Kansas City takes its food seriously and has every right to. It’s a barbecue city with genuine range, real chefs and an audience that knows the difference. Being written up here means somebody who eats out for a living tried it and thought it stood up.
What we’re actually asking people to do
It’s worth being honest about the ask, because it isn’t small.
We’re a British food business in a barbecue town, selling something most Americans have never eaten, frozen, to be cooked at home, collected on a Thursday from a brewery car park.
That’s a lot of unfamiliar at once. Every part of it makes sense once you’ve had one — but it takes somebody willing to try the first one on a stranger’s say-so. Which is exactly why local coverage is worth more to us than a national mention would be.
What we make
Mash-topped British pies rather than pastry-topped — a cheesy mashed potato lid, which is a genuine British tradition and not a shortcut.
- Shepherd’s Pie — lamb and beef, worked out over a lot of attempts
- Steak, Ale & Mushroom — beef braised in dark ale
- Cheddar, Ale & Chicken — chicken thigh, sharp English cheddar, IPA
- Birria — with a cilantro-lime mash, which is a Kansas City idea rather than a British one
- Sausage rolls — traditional and spicy, in butter pastry
- Pasties — hand-crimped, at markets
Everything from scratch, whole ingredients, no palm oil or shortening.
Where to find it
Order online in packs of 4, 8 and 12. Collect at one of eight spots around the metro, find us at a market or pop-up, or we’ll ship frozen overnight to all fifty states.
If you’ve never had one, the Union Jack Sampler is four pies and two sausage rolls — the honest way in.
