Have you ever heard of a pieologist? They’re people who jolly up your face with pies. James and Stephen from Jollypies employ them to help cope with demand for their pastry perfections. James’s uni friends loved when he made them and Del Boy Stephen admits he jumped on the bandwagon when he saw how the rugby team devoured them. And so, a business was born.

They sold out at their first gig at Belfast’s St George’s Market. They knew then they were starting a bit of a pie revolution. What makes them so special, you ask? Well, their ingredients are all very local and whether they were beasts or broccoli, they lived happy lives. And we all know happy ingredients make for happy eaters.

They do quick deliveries, the pies themselves are portioned already which means low wastage and they taste great! We love haddock, cider and shallots flavour and that minted lamb is a real bad boy!
