Why a Pork Pie might Be the Perfect Father's Day Gift

Let's face it - Dads are notoriously hard to buy for.

Ask what they want for Father's Day and you'll likely get a shrug or a vague mention of something obscure from the tool shed.

That's why we love the idea of keeping it simple this year - with good food, great company and something he can really enjoy ( and maybe not to have to share): a proper, traditional pork pie.

 

It's the kind of gift that doesn't need a big speech or a fancy bow. It's hearty, nostalgic and made for quiet moments -

whether he's fishing by the lake, tinkering in his shed, or just enjoying a cold drink and his favourite show.

 

Not Just Any Pie

This isn't just lunch—this is a pie that's earned a nod from the Guild of Fine Foods.

Handcrafted with free-range Packington pork, traditional recipes, and a proper hot water crust, it's everything Dad loves about real food.

 

And the best part?

You can personalise it with a message baked right into the crust - "DAD", "HAPPY FATHERS DAY",

or something more uniquely him.  AND it's easy for you, with just one click for nationwide delivery!

A Customer Favourite

" Just a little note to say how absolutely delighted I was with my recent Father's Day hamper purchase. The parcel arrived on time, beautifully packaged with recyclable materials containing produce of a very high quality which was deliciously enjoyed yesterday. With picnics being the new going out, we are sure to be using those reusable cool bags throughout the summer... thank you Team Country Victualler - keep up the fabulous work. "

 

That's the kind of feedback we love to hear - because it means the gift did exactly what is should: bring joy.

 

Ways Dad Can Enjoy It

Whether you're going for a full hamper or just the pork pie, it's a versatile, ready-to-enjoy treat. Here are a few perfect pairings:

 

 

 

On a quiet fishing trip, with a flask of tea and a jar of pickle

Tucked into his golf bag for a mid-round snack

In the shed, no cutlery required - just peace and pie

By the campfire, rustic and ready to eat

Watching the match, pint in hand, slice on a plate

 

Wherever he is, it goes with him. And tastes like a little thank-you.

🥧 Not Your Average Wedding Cake: The Rise of the Pork Pie Stack

A Customer Story We Can't Help But Share

One of our recent wedding customers shared this gem with us:

 

" I managed to get part of the port pie and game pie, but the gannets we had invited devoured the chicken and ham before I got a look in... The most common discussion, aside from ' Why did it take you 30 years to do this?' was when is the next port pie event?' My new wife even changed her Facebook profile pic to the pork pie stack. Enough said."

 

Stories like this remind us why we love what we do.

When your food becomes the centrepiece of someone's celebrations—and even their profile picture—it means the world.
