Food Production Operative

Pieminister makes excellent pies. We've been doing it since 2003 - from a single Bristol shop to a B Corp brand you'll now find on supermarket shelves, in our own restaurants, at festivals up and down the country, and on plates everywhere in between. We're proudly independent, proudly Bristolian, a Real Living Wage employer, and we've built a brand with real character and a loyal following.  We’re looking for Food Production Operatives to join our Pie Crew.
