Eight of the best pie shops in Wirral to try for National Pie Day

Whether it's pork pies, meat pies or cheese and onion pies or even apple pie, cherry pie or lemon meringue pie, there's something to suit all tastebuds inside a pastry case.

Today is National Pie Day – a whole day dedicated to pies!

It’s the perfect mid-winter treat to warm the hearts and taste buds of pie lovers.

As British people - and northerners - we love a good pie and as a nation we consume more than £1billion worth of the tasty treats every year.

With endless choices about how to enjoy a pie - hot or cold, sweet or savoury, short crust, filo or puffed pastry - it's no easy task to pick a favourite.

Here are a few places in Wirral where you can pick up a pie to mark British Pie Week, including our Best for Pies 2023 winner Pies4U.
