Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 09:40 · Archive

A new pie restaurant in Pickering, North Yorkshire has served 1,100 pies in its first three weeks.

Pickering Pie Emporium opened recently in a converted bank building on the Market Place in Pickering, North Yorkshire. Run by Angela and Richard Saunders, the restaurant has already served 1,100 pies in its first three weeks of operation.

Mrs Saunders said the response had been 'absolutely fantastic', adding that she had not expected the restaurant to be as popular as it has been. Mr Saunders had harboured the idea for the business for six years before the couple decided to 'grab the bull by the horns' and open it.

The owners attribute the early success to their approach to customer service and atmosphere. Mrs Saunders said they wanted to 'bring a warm welcome and a good cuddle to Pickering in the way of comfort food and a relaxed and cosy meeting space'. She believes their key to success so far has been 'making sure every customer leaves happier than when they arrived'.
