Pork Farms Pork Pies

Pork Farms is a historic British brand that has become a staple of the UK's savoury pastry market. Founded in Nottingham in 1931 by Ken Parr, the company originally began as a small family bakery business that evolved into a major industrial producer of cold meat pies. The brand is particularly famous for its traditional pork pies made with hot water crust pastry and seasoned uncured pork.

Over the decades, the brand has undergone several changes in ownership. It was part of Northern Foods for many years before being sold to Vision Capital and later becoming part of the Addo Food Group. In 2021, Addo Food Group and Winterbotham Darby merged to form The Compleat Food Group, which is backed by the private equity firm Equistone Partners Europe. Today, Pork Farms products are primarily manufactured in specialized facilities across the United Kingdom, specifically in Nottingham (Riverside Bakery) and Market Drayton (Palethorpes Bakery), maintaining their legacy as a quintessentially British snack.
