Bowen Pies in Chorley

Paul is undoubtedly the pie king of Chorley, offering excellent pies that you won't regret trying. The friendly staff, as always, adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place over Greggs.

I used to love the pies when Billy Holden owned the butchers shop in Adlington. We used to buy the pies weekly. Since they moved to Chorley the pies aren't the same. The pastry and gravy is lovely but hardly any meat. We had a chicken and a steak pie. Any steak in the steak pie was full of fat and gristle. Very disappointing.

Passing by today and bought a steak pie and a potato and meat one. Both excellent. I also bought a small meat and bacon one that wasn’t at all to my taste, but they’re obviously popular, so fair enough!

Been here a few times and never been disappointed. I usually get meat and potato but tried the steak one the other day and it was amazing! The steak must be slow cooked or something, it just falls apart on your mouth. Great place to grab a quick easy lunch and the prices are worth it for the quality

Good pies but manager of chorley bowens on harpers Lane was very rude and disrespected my grandad 😡

Turkey salad ..... bad reformed Turkey..... salad ..... base cuts of lettuce root end ....and top cut slice of tomatoe with stem end sliced in 2 one piece of cucumber size of a fifty pence piece Trace of butter £3 ... rubbish zero quality

Stop here if I can park my truck outside as the pies here are fantastic!!!!.. Bakewell slice is excellent too.. Great pie shop.. shame I can't park there more often...

Never met any1 so miserable no matter which shop you go to.

I tried Meat and Potato Pies and they were delicious so then ordered the Steak Pies with chunky steak and gravy. They too are really good and I would recommend them to anyone. I must add that the pastry too matches the quality of the contents.

Just bought a meat and potato and chunky steak pie I can say I'm very disappointed the meat and potato just tasted of pepper and fat and the chunky steak looked nothing like it did in the pictures also very bland, won't be returning its such a shame the pictures look amazing slight false advertising. Paul Bowen I am very honest with my reviews I didn't say it had fat in I said it tasted of fat, the chunky steak looks nothing like your photo that day I spent £13.80 the next day alot of watery liquid was leaking out of one of the pies, I am fully entitled to my opinion and I am not bad mouthing you and I am certainly not the only person to leave a bad review but thank you for the ban shows the pettiness

On Tuesday 19 October 2021 a colleague arrived at the Adlington shop 3 minutes before the due opening time and it was pouring down with rain. A female member of staff frowned at him through the shop window and pointed to the clock in the shop and raised three fingers to him indicating that as far as she was concerned he could wait in the rain for three minutes until 08.00am when the shop was due to open. Needless to say he walked away and will not be returning in the future. Poor customer service, do not know about the products on sale! No stars was my choice for this review but is not an option.

Since moving to this area, and discovering Bowen’s pie shop nearby, I decided to try every pie they sell & choose my favourite. I prefer their pork pies cold & they are the best I have ever had. Their potato & meat are fantastic & the chunky steak delicious. I really can’t find a fault with any of their pies, except maybe the whist pies are a little too salty for my taste, although my partner thinks they are perfect. There is a rival bakery just across the road but they don’t compare, for me. My favourite pie? The potato & meat .... or the chunky steak. But then again, it could be the pork.

I was tempted in by the claim of award winning pies and I must say was a bit disappointed. The shopfront seemed a bit sparse, bland and didn't even have a board to show what was available. They didn't do peas and gravy as they said that was only in the winter. I ordered the steak pie and found the pastry was a bit dry and was generally mediocre. I also asked for a pork and black pudding pie but was given just a pork pie instead which I found average and seemed to have a glaze on top that makes the pastry stubbornly adhere to your teeth. An experience I don't find very pleasant. On the whole I found them very average and can't imagine how they won awards. I personally think Galloways or Greenhalghs pies to be better.

convenient local shop but pies are very often just warm need to be Hot Hot Hot clean tidy shop, friendly staff,

We travelled from North Wales just to try the pies, well worth the fuel and the 1hr 30min drive ! Will be back . . .

Absolutely awful got a ham sandwich bread was all soggy from tomatoes ham fatty used the end os tomatoes pie was salty and cold yuk never again wat a waste if money was on market street

THE best pork pies in the North West

I cannot recommend this store enough!! Always fresh, tasty, piping hot pies available- highly recommend the whist pies!! Quality of food way above any other in the area!! Don't forget the second shop in Chorley as well!

Received my first order today I’ve tried the Steak and Potato and Meat excellent, definitely reordering

I love a good ol’ pork filled box!

Go here every Saturday with the kids, they absolutely love the pies especially the chunky steak! Would highly recommend anyone to try Bowen’s pies!! Daniel Tomlinson 👍

Not only excellent and tasty pies but first class customer service too. A delivery issue was immediately resolved with a phone call. Home delivery in chilled packaging allows you to buy more - what could be better! Thank you.

I've been stuck in Germany for over three months due to this virus, and, as a Wiganer, craving pies for most of that time. Fortunately, Bowens were able to help out, and I got eight potato and meat pies delivered yesterday. They arrived in excellent condition (still some ice in the ice packs, despite it being 28° outside), and they taste great! I'd never had them before, but I'll be making a trip to Adlington when I finally get back home. 😎

Amazing pies supported by amazing customer service. Brilliant delivery service. Support your local businesses and shop with Bowen pies. Showing the industry how it should be done. Well done Paul and team.

Brilliant pies when you can takeaway. Also brilliant in the current circumstances when you can have them delivered. Steak puddings, chunky steak pies, pork pies and pork & black pudding are my favourites. They do various others and sausage rolls as well.

Absolutely perfect! Packaged professionally for fresh delivery, couldn't ask for better service as it comes in a cool box with ice packs. Flavours are magical in the pies and the favourites are for sure the butter pie or the chunky steak. By far the best steak I have ever had in a pie!

Had our first Bowen pies today, what can I say ? I'll tell you this, they are the future 😁 great pies, generous filling & delivered in chilled containers direct to your door, what's not to like, definitely be ordering more.

We placed an online order and a few days later a selection of fresh pies arrived. Excellent quality (no stodge) Fair price and great customer service. Just a note if you do order online, Make sure you freeze some on delivery or you will find you eat 20 pies and puddlings in 4 days....oops.

My daughter came up today for 3 butter pies but was given 3 pork pies for some reason. Needless to say they ended up in the bin as we dont like pork pies.

Do not even consider using this companys mail order service till they stop using western courier, product not refrigerated left hanging around over the weekend and will now have to be thrown away, when I complained to Western courier they couldn't care less and put the phone down £23 in the bin, thanks

12.30 Friday afternoon, 6 people eating in. We ordered 2 lattes, they only had 1 cup left! Cheese pie but they had sold out,. Ordered flat steak pie with peas and gravy and steak pie with peas and gravy. Served the first order then told they had no more peas or gravy! So no latte cups, no cheese pie, no peas and no gravy at 12.30pm really poor service.

The pies & sandwiches at Bowen’s are just superb. I moved to this area about 18 months ago & I was happy to see a Greenhalgh’s bakers nearby. Greenhalgh’s bake excellent pies but Bowen’s are on another level. I can understand why they win awards. The pork pies are best cold, with some nice chutney, in a ploughman’s lunch. The potato & meat pies and the chunky steak are just so tasty & the small whist pies are great for a snack.

Used to be brilliant pies but lately there lacking in filling

I consider myself an excellent judge of pies, and Bowen’s are the best, in my opinion. I can understand why they have won so many awards as the chunky steak is delicious, as is the potato & meat. For me though, their pork pie is the star.

The cheese slice was very nice although the pastry was a little oily and a bit thick around the edges. The steak pie had a great taste, wasn't salty and the pastry was excellent but sadly the meat was very chewy, half of which was inedible and had to be thrown away. Better quality meat and it would be five stars.

Bought a pork pie from the Adlington shop, very dense and soggy pastry. Needed Piccalilli or a bit of Love. Eat one and let me know which!. Staff were lovely by the way.

I buy these pies every other day and they are one of the best I have tasted it is such a shame that I have complained on several occasions over the last few months that they are always luke warm if not cold at the PEAK times of the day between 12am _ 2pm any day of the week .. the girl always says "it is hard to keep them hot" it is obvious that they have not been trained in how to control baking .. the idea is not to bake 30_40 pies all at the same time so you have lots to sell at peak times or is the problem the hotplate does it work or is it turned off??? with Greenhalghs across this needs to be looked into ..

Best pie shop I’ve ever been to, I highly recommend a chunky steak pie.

Eureka! I've finally found pies that are delicious and live up to the standards of my home town! Highly recommend these pies. Good quality products, good pastry and filling. Bonus of home delivery. Friendly staff. You're missing out if you don't try these pies.

Just had another pie from Bowens...Best pork pies ever...If you can get a better pie than this then good luck....Very reasonably prices as well...£1.75 ish for a top pie....

Pork pie is a delight. Never had a bad pie! Literally the best pie shop around. Would recommend highly!

Bowen Pies are outstanding the Pork,is very tasty and the chunky steak are also very good the staff at the Adlington shop are very nice.

Born and bred in the pie capital of the world, 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. Now we are retired in Kent where we occasional come up with a chicken or steak pie. Then my wife Googled " Traditional Lancashire Pies" and up came Bowen. We ordered 6 each of Meat, Pork, and Meat and pPotato. Our craving is well satisfied , they are fantastic, pies with jelly, and just as we remember from childhood. Can't wait to try some of the other products. Well done all of you.

Quite simply the BEST pork pie in the world !! As an ex-pork butcher and pie expert, I can't recommend Bowen Pies enough, they're GREAT !!

Lovely fresh pies, local, reasonably priced. Better than greenhalghs across the road. Would suggest that they could start to make cakes too, but what they do they do well.

Growing up in Horwich gave you a few options for pies, Greeleys, Cases & Greenhalghs! Our favourite was Cases and we'd sit and wait for our pies on a little shelf. Sadly this place closed down years ago but happy memories! To my delight, Bowen's Meat & Potato is just about as perfect match to that! Absolutely brill! The pastry ,filling and spicyness is spot on. See you Saturday dinnertime.

We regularly visit Bowen Pies. Best pies in the world. Chunky Steak, pork pies, pasties, hot pots. They are all made and more. The pastry is light and tasty. Well worth a visit to fill that empty corner of your stomach.

The best pork pie I’ve ever had in my life

Fantastic pies ! Never greasy , always delicious with fabulous filling . If i wasnt watching my weight id want to eat these pies daily ... Soooo good !!! Also beautifully clean premises with lovely staff . Deserves 10 stars not 5

Very good local pie makers, Probably the best in the area. Have tried both the meat and pork and enjoyed both. The Hoot in Standish sell the pork in the bar and really nice with a cold pint. Have to say Higginsons in Grange still my favourite pie maker but these are good local alternative.

We used Bowens for a special birthday party catering and they didn't let us down. It was for a gathering of more than 50 people and everybody left satisfied and full. On this occasion, we called in the shop and bought a selection of their pies. They are absolutely delicious and packed full with meat. They don't do a massive range but I find this reassuring as it means what they do they do very well. I only wish we lived closer but is probably better for my waistline we don't!

Great range of pies. All are excellent and good value! Can recommend the meat pies and sausage rolls.

Bowens Pies may not be a country wide pie shop but its well known in Adlington and Chorley as a Good Pie Shop with Award Winning Steak as one of their best sellers , if you like your pies you will like Bowan's

This place is nice and clean and always caters for your needs. They have delicious meats and amazing pies ect. We find ourselves going there when everyones in the house because everyone love it and its good valaue for money, would reccomend.

Really nice pies, always fresh and warm. Good value for money.
