Been a Bowens customer since their humble beginnings in Babylon Lane Adlington, so I can speak with experience about their products. Their whist pies are fabulous, second to none but I have to say they and the other pies have suffered since the move over to the Chorley bakery. With regards to the whist pies, what has happened to the juice/jelly, where is it? With regards to the meat and potato pies, please make sure you cook the potatoes through. I have left more meat and potato pies half eaten than full pies, all because of the potato content. (I'm not trying to take you up on the money back guarantee). Any chance you could post a list of the chippies that you supply steak puddings to. The only chippy I knew stopped selling them for some reason, would never say why.

Irdered cheese and onion pie . Size above average. Pastry thick . Very little cheese / filling . More pastry than filling . Very disappointed

Although the pies are excellent, the price of one single pie is extortionate, three pies plus delivery amounted to almost £20. First and last time ordering online

Being a bit of a pie aficionado I regularly seek out pies that claim to be the best ever. I’ve even been to the best pie restaurant in the county but nothing compares to Bowen’s. Their whist pies are a special treat - superb pastry. And now online!

Where’s the jelly gone in the pork pie’s??? Bowen still put the jelly in in some there other shops, but not in Chorley. So pork pies are dry and not very good from here. Won’t be returning as this is described in there recipes. Sort it out Chorley. Used to be excellent

Can’t believe I’ve only just found this place. Got some pasty’s and cheese and onion pies and they were fantastic. Great pastry, plenty of tasty filling and up there with the best pies you’ll ever eat.

We recently got sent a recommendation for Bowen Pies via family friend on Facebook. We don't live locally to Chorley, but are passionate Manchester City supporters we didn't know they do a Manchester City pie box. That aside, we ordered our pie box online, delivery was prompt and all goods extremely carefully packed. This was our first experience of Bowen Pies, and wechose chicken balti from our selection box. Only way to describe it is epic. Lovely spicy filling and melt in the mouth pastry! These are award winning pies, just checkout their website. Highly recommended. We will be back for more, guaranteed.

Bought £100 worth of pies and puddings by mail order. Very prompt service and the pies are delicious. Not the cheapest in the World, but you get what you pay for. Do not hesitate to buy!!!

If want some of the best whist pies then go no further than your local Bowen’s pie shops Any time we pass one in we nip and although they may be intended for later ,we never seem to get to the later section of the day

Really fresh tasty pies and pasties! Have been many times and have never been disappointed. Delicious without being greasy. Would recommend!

These used to be good but are expensive for a very mediocre pie, now made without the 'jelly' addition.

What more can I say. Tried a cheese pie, meat and potato and a chicken and mushroom. All lovely and fresh. Will definitely return as I'm keen to try the balti pie!

Had these in a local pub so visited the shop. Probably the best pork pies I've had other than Satherwaites in Crosby. Great pie choice.

Definitely the best pie shop around. Their steak pies are very tasty. Not easy to park but there is a carpark across the road so will park there in future

I was looking for somewhere to have a drink, after attending a funeral at St Joseph's Church on Harpers Lane. I knew Bowen's Pies was there, but wasn't sure what they served. On entering, I saw that there was a spacious area with tables and chairs to eat in and on approaching the counter was assured that they did serve tea and coffee. A wide selection of hot pies and other savouries were on display and I chose a whist pie to have with my mug of tea. It was delicious. I was also pleased to see that they sold cakes, as well as freshly made sandwiches, crisps and a good selection of soft drinks in the chiller cabinet. I have been back since and found it equally as enjoyable. Lots of treats to choose from and it is great to be able to sit and enjoy them in such clean and pleasant surroundings. The staff were very nice too. Well worth a visit.

Having recently moved into the area we called for food for lunch, what a delight. We now buy lunch from here quite often now. My favourite is the chunky streak pie, and I can recommend the meat pie and pork and Stilton. My husband enjoys the meat and potato pie and traditional pasty. Would definitely recommend. Oh the cheese and onion pie is good too. You can actually taste the cheese.

Born and bred in the pie capital that is Wigan, we have lived abroad and all over England but never have we found anything as good as a Lancashire Pie, nowhere else can they get the pastry right. Then my wife Googled " Traditional Lancashire Pies" and up came Bowen. We ordered 6 each of Meat, Pork, and meat and potato. Our craving is well satisfied , they are fantastic, pies with jelly, and just as we remember from childhood.

Bowers pies are delicious. I live in the Midlands and you can't buy decent pies here. Whenever I go up to Chorley I buy Bowens pies and take them home to freeze.

I've visited Bowens pie shop many times over the years. The Chunky Steak (award winning) pie being my personal favourite but it had to be said all his pies, pasties and sausage rolls are delicious with crisp pastry and succulent fillings. I've never been disappointed (apart from the shop being too popular so it temporarily runs out of some lines). Great job

The pies are ok but have a very thick pastry. The meat and potatoe pie is peppery. The pies are a little pricey

Hot and tasty pies, cooked on the premises. Eat in with a hot drink or take out. What more do you need.

I found this cafe while waiting to collect a car I bought from a dealership, so I was sitting in the cafe from 7am to 9:15am. The hot chocolate was gorgeous! I was going to order an omelette around 8am, but the place started getting a bit busy, so I held off. At 8:20am, I ordered a 4-egg omelette with cheese and left around £12 in change as a tip to thank them for letting me stay while waiting for the dealership to open at 9am. I was grateful to have found this cafe, as I also got some work done on my laptop. People were coming and going, and the staff even sat down for a chat, and I started wondering if they’d forgotten about me. At 8:55am, I asked if my order had been forgotten, and the girl apologized and realized she had indeed forgotten. The dealership was only a 5-minute walk away, but I was almost ready to leave without the food and the fact i paid £20 for a hot chocolate 😂. I eventually received the omelette, and they even returned the tip I’d left. The omelette was really nice, and the hot chocolate was devine. I can’t fault the food, even though I was forgotten and i am sure it was only a 2 egg ommlette instead of 4. I just needed to leave as i was late for collecting the car. Hence, I can’t give 5 stars for the service.

Only thing I would like to see is better opening times as I’d like to take the kids straight from school at 4pm and it’s always closed! Otherwise, this place does amazing food and it’s great to be able to take the kids for a nice healthy meal. Why do some restaurants think that kids want nuggets and burgers? My kids love this place and it suits them both as one eats meat and the other is a vegetarian.
