Happily, this week we received our SALSA food accreditation after passing an audit of our premises and manufacturing processes. We are now full members of SALSA who will audit our membership each year to ensure adherence to their strict SALSA standards.

Sean Horton, Director, comments, “We are very proud to have passed our SALSA audit and to be accepted as a SALSA member. We are a small but growing business and this will give us a definite advantage when presenting our products to larger purchasing groups. We are now establishing ourselves as a quality pie producer to the trade and this accreditation is a reward for everyone’s efforts over the past 2 years.”

SALSA is a nationally recognised food safety certification scheme tailored to small and micro producers. The scheme allows businesses to demonstrate that they operate using a robust and effective food safety standard. The schemes wide acceptance by retailers and food service providers has assisted in SALSA becoming the Food Safety Scheme for producers with big ambitions.

Goddard’s Pies produce savoury pies which are sold to food outlets such as restaurants, hotels and pie and mash shop as well as wholesalers and foodservice companies. All of our pies are handmade using locally sourced ingredients and traditional recipes and techniques.

Sean continues “SALSA has been extremely supportive of our membership and we look forward to working with them for many years to come. We’re an expanding business and this will be a great boost to us during 2012.”

The British Pie Awards is an annual competition, organised and hosted by the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, they received 619 pies produced by bakers and butchers from across the country. Pies were judged by celebrity chefs, pie experts and top food writers including Rachel Green, Tamasin Day Lewis and Charles Campion.

Our mince beef pie, which is our best seller, gained a Bronze Award in the busiest category of Hot Savoury Pies. This pie has a heritage of more than 120 years of family tradition so we are extra proud of its winning status amongst so many big name competitors.

In an official press release Kane Goddard, who received his award in the Hot Savoury Pie category, commented: “We know these Awards are the crème de la crème of British Pies and we are very pleased to get this recognition from the best food experts of the country and amongst the best pie makers. Our family business started in 1890 and this is a great achievement for our first year of entering the competition. We will continue to produce quality, hand made pies and we will be back in the competition next year”.

Chairman of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, Matthew O’Callaghan, commented: “We are thrilled with the standard of pies that we have tasted. The Association organises these Awards to celebrate the heritage of the British Pie and it makes us very proud seeing the variety and quality of the pies presented. We hope this helps to encourage consumers to continue enjoying authentic regional produce.”

Although we are famous for the pie mash and liquor sold in our Greenwich pieshop for over 50 years, we are a family of pie makers at heart. For the last two decades our pieshop sold a small variety of different savoury pies, all hand made on the premises. We had minced beef pie (the pie & mash pie), soya mince pie, cheese & onion pie and sometimes a steak & kidney pie or pudding.

It was quite unusual for a pieshop to make so many different types on the premises for sale in the shop. But our customers loved them and kept coming back for more.

Since 2010 we now have a dedicated factory where we make our range of pies everyday. All hand made, from raw ingredients to the Goddard’s family recipe.

We are now continuing to grow our wholesale business where we can supply:

• Cafes
• Pubs
• Fish and chip shops
• Canteens
• Caterers
• Restaurants
• Mobile food units
• Bakers
• Wholesalers
• Food Service Companies
• Hotels
• Pie shops

This all started with us supplying the traditional minced beef pie which is accompanied with mash and liquor. Catering outlets then had a simple way of providing their customers with this very famous London dish.

We now have a wide range of savoury pies available to the trade which are suitable to a much wider audience:

• traditional mince beef
• steak and kidney
• steak and ale
• chicken and mushroom
• cheddar cheese and onion
• veggie soya in onion gravy
• chilli minced beef (coming soon)

These are all hand made in our factory and are available frozen unbaked. Our pies are different from many others as they are not machined in any way. They are hand made, hand assembled, hand trimmed and hand packed.

Please call us on 0800 862 0400 if you would like to sell our pies.

Brothers, Jeff & Kane Goddard, both work hands on in the business and they continue to assist in the making of our pies and supporting our customers with help and advice. The food that bears their family name has to be made in the traditional way to their exacting standards.

We completed a large expansion plan during 2010 and now supply many more trade customers and pie shops with our famous pies and liquor. We are now looking to move forwards again during early 2011 and are actively seeking new customers for our wholesale pie mash and liquor. If you have a business idea that involves pie and mash then please get in touch, we are seeking business in Essex, Kent and South London.

QUALITY PIE AND MASH

The history of pie and mash shows that the pies were mostly made from scraps of meat. How times have changed. We source high quality meat from a local butcher who delivers to us several times every week, no cheap cuts here and definitely no gristle!  Our pies are recognised as some of the best in the business and generous in size.

THE PIE AND MASH EXPERTS

Our proposition offers so much more than just delivering pie and mash to you. We recognise that someone who wants to sell pie and mash needs some help and guidance to get their business off to a good start. We can provide as much or as little help as you feel you need. In the past we have gone as far as designing kitchens and providing specifications for equipment to some customers. We can provide guidance on:

• Shop design
• Kitchen design
• Equipment spec
• Menu choices
• Pricing
• Marketing
• Storage
• Cooking

All of this is free and part of our service. It is our intention to work with you so that your business runs smoothly and profitably. We are not a large company so you will quickly become familiar to us and recognise who here is best to answer your questions!

The first 6 months have been hard work with everyone putting in a tremendous amount of effort to get things off the ground. We have been in the very fortunate position of not needing to go out and spend lots of money on advertising and marketing yet as we receive a constant flow of new enquiries. What makes our proposition slightly different is that we are happy to work with prospective customers to help with their menus, prices, equipment and even the design of their kitchen!

Due to the growth in our trade sales we have already taken on new staff and will soon be making further investment into additional equipment. However, one thing will always remain constant: the quality of our hand made pies. We will always offer our customers a quality product that has been hand made and hand trimmed, using traditional methods.

Our customers are a varied mixture of food outlets from cafes and fish and chip shops to pubs and dedicated pie and mash shops.

In August, Sainsy’s Pie and Mash opened in Lakeside Shopping Centre and we are proud to be their sole supplier of food. Anyone eating at Sainsy’s will enjoy our full range of savoury pies with mash, liquor and gravy.

Danny is a life long fan of pie and mash and he makes sure that his customers get the very best 7 days a week. You can read more information about Sainsy’s by visiting their website www.sainsyspieandmash.co.uk

In September, Tony Taylor opened Taylor’s Pie and Mash in Colchester town centre. Tony has spent much time and money ensuring his pie and mash shop looks and feels just right and his customers are obviously enjoying having a dedicated pie shop right in the town centre.
