British Pie Week 2022 - Everything you need to know!

With British Pie Week kicking off on Monday 7th March 2022, we thought you might want to find out everything you should know about the greatest week in pie! With the impacts of covid-19 reducing in Britain and the o-pie-tunity to get out and about visiting pie shops and hosting pie parties, there's no excuse not to celebrate again properly this year! So read on to find out more!

When is British Pie Week?

British Pie Week is held the first full week of March, which this year is 7th-13th March 2022. That means it is the latest in the year it can possibly be this year!

What is British Pie Week?

Originally set up by a pastry maker as a way to sell more of their pastry, it is now Britain’s main celebration of pie! Pubs, restaurants, pie shops and more have used British Pie Week to run com-pie-titions, pie specials and the like, while supermarkets sometimes use the week to discount their pie ranges. The British Pie Awards have even moved their awards to this week, to coincide with British Pie Week, back in pie week again after being moved to later in the year in 2021 due to Coronavirus!

However it’s also an excuse for pie lovers like the Pierateers to do various pie stunts and for the average pie fan to excuse their pie eating for a week! (“Well it’s Pie Week, so I have to have a pie!!!”)

British Pie Week 2022 is from 7th-13th March!

How can I get involved?

Well, the pies the limit! Of course the more traditional ways include eating a pie from a pie shop or pub, purchasing a pie from your local supermarket or make an online order from your favourite online pie supplier (or try out a new one!)

Or you could of course make your own pie at home. There are plenty of reci-pies out there to use, including a number we have tried and rated ourselves. Or you could still do some crazy pie stunt like only eating pies for a day (which we’ve done numerous times) or create an unusual filling for a pie – like we did with our Pie-thon (python meat pie).

The infamous Python meat pie!

When did it all start?

British Pie Week was created by a pastry company in 2007 to sell more pastry, but it seems that company have now ditched the idea, with the lucrative www.britishpieweek.co.uk webpage now just re-directing to their main pastry website and their @BritPieWeek twitter account not having been updated since March 2016!

This means the new home of British Pie Week is really www.pierate.co.uk, who don’t care about making money or selling more pastry, but want to celebrate the pie – with well over 600 pies already rated and numerous pie-related stunts highlighting their love of pie! For more information on what Pierate have got up to over the years since first celebrating British Pie Week in 2011, check out our dedicated British Pie Week page!
