General Manager

Pieminister the UK’s No 1 premium hot pie brand.  

This is an exciting opportunity for a talented and passionate General Manager to join our team at Pieminister. You will be the face of our business and have a love for all things food and drink. You’ll need a ‘hands on’ approach and a genuine interest in developing people to deliver the best dining and customer experience, whilst ensuring Pieminister’s high standards and service are always maintained.  

About us …  

From a small pie kitchen, café and festival stall in 2004, Pieminister has grown into the UK’s No 1 premium hot pie brand.  An independent family business with its foundations firmly rooted in sustainability, Pieminister is well on its way to becoming a B-Corp and aims to be carbon neutral by 2025: just one of the commitments laid out in the company’s Pies.Planet.People goals.

With a growing number of Pie & Mash restaurants opening across the UK and 100s of retailers and pubs stocking our award winning products, Pieminister has gained a reputation as the go-to pie for those in the know.

Like many businesses, the pandemic has presented some significant challenges for Pieminister to overcome.  However, tireless efforts on COVID-security and re-shaping the business to thrive in the future means that the company is financially fit and ready to leap towards significant growth once more.  

The company is led by its original founders, brothers-in-law Jon and Tris.  Their Pie Crew is a strong team of enthusiastic, entrepreneurial people who work hard and have fun.  Everyone is included, respected and is committed to drive positive change together, one pie at a time!
