We get this question all the time, and it never fails to crack us up. We’ve been baking our Homity Pie for several years now, so it's like an old friend to us. But hey, we get it—if you haven’t been introduced, let us do the honors.
An open-topped pie loaded with potatoes, mixed with both Cheddar and Red Leicester cheese, onions, a hint of garlic, and some herbs for that extra tweak. We pack all that goodness into our tremendous gluten free pastry base. Then we hit it with more of that strong
The origins of this pie are a bit of a mystery. Some say it’s a throwback to the Second World War, when the land girls were whipping up meals with whatever they could find—spuds and onions aplenty, while cheese and butter were like gold dust. But here’s our favourite theory: It’s a classic Devon delight, loaded with that legendary West Country cheese and. Sounds like a dream come true, right?
You can find an original recipe (not gluten free) in the book of Cranks, the legends of tasty vegetarian eats. It's definitely one of our top picks.
This humble little pie can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it the ultimate year-round snack. On a scorching summer day, pair it with a crisp green salad. Or, when it’s chilly out, go for baked beans or green beans. Whatever floats your boat!
Sadly, because it’s open-topped, the Homity doesn’t count as a “real” pie to the British Pie Awards. I know, right? But don’t shed any tears!
2024 was the first year we entered our Gluten Free Homity Pie to the awards...and this perfect pie has grabbed Gold at both the Taste of the West Awards and Great Taste Awards... It's a REAL WINNER!

So there you have it—the not-so-humble Homity Pie, packing flavour and history into every bite. Give it a try and see what all the fuss is about!
Feeling like a nice glass of something to wash the cheesiness down...? How about...
Cider: A crisp, slightly dry apple cider pairs beautifully with the cheesy richness of a Homity Pie. It’s the ultimate autumnal duo, like a warm embrace in a glass.
