Artisan Pies in South Liverpool: Welcoming Piesmiths to Wellington Yard
Wellington Yard is delighted to welcome Piesmiths, a brand-new addition to our growing community of creative and independent businesses in Wavertree. Founded by local baker Dan, Piesmiths specialises in artisan pies in South Liverpool, crafted with care, quality ingredients, and an all-butter shortcrust pastry that has quickly become a local favourite.
After years of balancing pie-making alongside a busy office job, Dan has taken the leap to turn his passion into a full-time business. From classic flavours to bold new creations, Piesmiths brings a slice of comfort and creativity to Wellington Yard.
The Story Behind Piesmiths
For Dan, making pies started as a weekend hobby. He spent years experimenting with flavours, testing recipes, and sharing his creations with friends and family. What began as a side project soon became something much more — a business built on passion, patience, and pastry.
Now, as a full-time pie maker, Dan’s focus is on delivering quality and variety. Every one of his artisan pies in South Liverpool are handcrafted, using fresh ingredients and an attention to detail that sets his work apart. His menu caters for everyone, from hearty meat lovers to vegetarian and vegan customers, all wrapped in his signature golden shortcrust.
A Taste of What’s on Offer
With the colder months approaching, Dan has been hard at work developing new seasonal pies to celebrate the best of winter flavours. Alongside his established classics, Piesmiths will feature a rotating selection of specials, including:
- Greek-inspired lamb pie with feta, olives, and aromatic herbs
- Venison, blue stilton, and smoked bacon pie with sautéed chestnut mushrooms and a touch of redcurrant jelly
- Festive turkey pie with stuffing, brie, and cranberry — the perfect Christmas treat
Whether served warm at home or picked up at a local market, these handmade creations showcase why Piesmiths is fast becoming a leading name for artisan pies in South Liverpool.

From Market Stalls to Wellington Yard
Piesmiths has already made its mark across South Liverpool and Merseyside. Dan’s pies can be found at a range of local markets, through home deliveries, and even on the menus of a few independent pubs who share his love of great food made locally.
Despite living close by, Dan hadn’t originally heard of Wellington Yard and its growing creative community. It was only after spotting social posts from RMo Studio, another of our resident businesses, that he decided to take a closer look. The more he learned, the more it felt like the perfect fit.
Why Wellington Yard Was the Right Move
After visiting the site, Dan found a unit ideally suited to his needs — a practical, flexible workspace to bake, prepare, and manage his growing orders. More than that, he was drawn to the sense of community on site, where small businesses and creatives come together to support one another.
He’s already familiar with RMo Studio and Olive Can Fly, and looks forward to meeting more of the talented residents who make Wellington Yard such a unique destination in South Liverpool.
When asked what he’d love to see next at the Yard, Dan’s answer came without hesitation — a brewery.

Building a Community of Independents
Dan’s story captures exactly what Wellington Yard is all about — ambition, creativity, and community. As he continues to grow Piesmiths, his presence adds a delicious new dimension to our evolving mix of local businesses.
