This Yorkshire pie company is now stocking Harrods Food Hall

The Topping Pie Company has been serving pies in Yorkshire for 50 years, now it’s time Harrods had a taste of their pork pies.

As if winning 60 awards wasn’t enough for the family-run bakery, the company can now say that they’re officially listed with Harrods.

The luxury Knightsbridge department store recently added Yorkshire-based bakery, The Topping Pie Company to their list of stockists. In total it is thought that up to 25 handcrafted traditional and speciality pies will be added to the newly renovated delicatessen counter inside the Harrods food hall.

Out of these incredible products, a total of 11 are made with locally sourced ingredients, including British quality assured pork meat from Yorkshire.

Some of the named stock at Harrods includes traditional pork pies in 120g, 200g and 450g sizes, as well as 120g ‘dinky’ pies and a whole range of specialty pork pies. This has previously included flavours like stilton, apple and pear, but as we enter the new year, flavours may change with the seasons.

The Topping Pie Company has been a butchers and bakers for over 50 years and stock everything from gala pie to quiches, gourmet sausage rolls and even tray pies and lasagnas:

“When Bill Topping opened his butcher’s shop in a little suburb of Doncaster, South Yorkshire in 1961 little did he know that it was the start of a multi award-winning company whose products would one day grace the deli counters at Selfridges, Harrods and Booths.”

The business has remained in the family, swapping the Scawsby butchers shop was to the Doncaster Market Hall a decade after opening to meet customer demands and now the South Yorkshire company remains here today, as a family affair. Bill’s grandson Mark has now been managing the shop for more than 20 years and continuing the family tradition as an award-winning company.

Some of the bakery’s other highlights include winning over 60 different awards, including the coveted and prestigious 3 star Gold Great Taste Awards and the Topping Pie Company has has its success honoured by a Princess Royal who visited and toured the bakery.

Whilst Princesses and Harrods customers might love the pies in the capital, there’s no need for us Yorkshire folk to go all the way to London to find out why these pies are so well loved.

The Topping Pie company deliver to Wakefield, Pontefract, Blythe, Epworth, Dore in Sheffield, Cudworth in Barnsley and Budworth, but as they’re committed to ensuring that those who are “vulnerable and self-isolating can still enjoy a hearty dinner”, they will deliver up to 30 miles around their Doncaster location. You can also grab one from Doncaster by hopping on the train, it’s a short thirty minutes away.
