About
Wilfreds is the signature range from the Lewis Pie & Pasty Company; a family business since 1936
How we came to be
The origins of our bakery date back to 1936 when Wilfred Charles Lewis, a local of Swansea & Gower, decided to start making pies for the community.
Wilfred Charles started his small bakery in a single room in Fleet Street, Sandfields. He made his pies in solid metal tins and cooled them on the pavement outside.
Wilfred perfected his craft, and soon enough he gained a reputation for his delectable pies.
The Lewis Brothers
After many successful years, Wilfred, Geoffrey and John Lewis took over the reins from their father in 1976.
In 1989, as demand grew, the bakery moved to a larger location in Glamorgan Yard. The business continued to expand, leading to another move to its current location on Abergelly road, Swansea in 1997.
From humble beginnings, our bakery grew to become a beloved favourite serving the people of Swansea and beyond.
Third Generation
Today and since 2013 it’s the third generation of the Lewis family, Wilfred James Lewis, that continues to guide the business.
What started as a small bakery has now evolved into a manufacturing site with a BRC grade AA.
Despite being in operation for over 87 years, the Lewis family remain dedicated to continuous improvement to ensure their goods are consistent and high quality.
