Wilfreds Pies FAQs
Our pies are made using high-quality Welsh ingredients selected for their exceptional taste and freshness. Each recipe is carefully crafted to ensure a gourmet experience with every bite.
We offer various options to accommodate dietary needs, including vegetarian and plant-based options. These products are clearly labelled. For specific inquiries, please contact us.
For optimal freshness, we recommend storing our pies in the refrigerator and consuming them before the printed expiry date. Alternatively, they can be frozen for longer storage.
Our pies are best enjoyed when heated in an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. For specific heating instructions, refer to the packaging or contact us for guidance.
Air fryers vary, but our trials have suggested that 170 degrees for 20 minutes works best. Ensure the product is piping hot before consumption.
Our pies are freshly baked and have a shelf life of 10 days when refrigerated properly. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Pie Makers Since 1936
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.
Today and since 2013 it’s the third generation of the Lewis family, Wilfred James Lewis, that continues to guide the business.
