PIMBLETTS BAKERY

St Helens' finest since 1921.

We are more than just a bakery, we are everything St Helens represents. Each and every morning we begin to prepare and produce a delicious variety of handmade savouries & sweets. Whether it’s rolling our pastry or curating our fillings, each step is made with flavour and taste in mind. Each product has its own unique characteristics, appearance, aroma, flavour, and structure. Our customers have woken up to what’s important to them; exceptional foods with unquestionable origin, taste, and history.

Quality lean meat & fresh British vegetables are the heart and soul of our approach to handmade pies. Also, having a strong and reputable relationship with our local farmer and his harvest is one of the fundamental factors in what makes our recipes so unique.

Our pastry is mixed, rolled and cut to size by hand. Our fillings are cooked, diced and blended by hand. Our deserts are layered & built by hand. Everything we produce is done by hand - just how a bakery should be.

Originally founded by John and Mary Pimblett in 1921, John Pimblett & Sons Ltd built a bakery empire which became synonymous with St Helens. As a result of the recession in 2008, administration led to John Pimblett & Sons Ltd closing down and the responsibility of producing the same handmade quality products was left to Arthur Bevan of Pimmies Pies Limited. Between 2009-2021, unbeknown to most, the business continued to trade from a small warehouse on the outskirts of the town centre where the original recipes continued to be produced. During the spring of 2021 we purchased the business from Arthur as we wanted to re-unite the St Helens community with the flavours and tastes of years gone by.
