Why a Pork Pie might Be the Perfect Father's Day Gift

Let's face it - Dads are notoriously hard to buy for.

Ask what they want for Father's Day and you'll likely get a shrug or a vague mention of something obscure from the tool shed.

That's why we love the idea of keeping it simple this year - with good food, great company and something he can really enjoy ( and maybe not to have to share): a proper, traditional pork pie.

 

It's the kind of gift that doesn't need a big speech or a fancy bow. It's hearty, nostalgic and made for quiet moments -

whether he's fishing by the lake, tinkering in his shed, or just enjoying a cold drink and his favourite show.

 

Not Just Any Pie

This isn't just lunch—this is a pie that's earned a nod from the Guild of Fine Foods.

Handcrafted with free-range Packington pork, traditional recipes, and a proper hot water crust, it's everything Dad loves about real food.

 

And the best part?

You can personalise it with a message baked right into the crust - "DAD", "HAPPY FATHERS DAY",

or something more uniquely him.  AND it's easy for you, with just one click for nationwide delivery!

A Customer Favourite

" Just a little note to say how absolutely delighted I was with my recent Father's Day hamper purchase. The parcel arrived on time, beautifully packaged with recyclable materials containing produce of a very high quality which was deliciously enjoyed yesterday. With picnics being the new going out, we are sure to be using those reusable cool bags throughout the summer... thank you Team Country Victualler - keep up the fabulous work. "

 

That's the kind of feedback we love to hear - because it means the gift did exactly what is should: bring joy.

 

Ways Dad Can Enjoy It

Whether you're going for a full hamper or just the pork pie, it's a versatile, ready-to-enjoy treat. Here are a few perfect pairings:

 

 

 

On a quiet fishing trip, with a flask of tea and a jar of pickle

Tucked into his golf bag for a mid-round snack

In the shed, no cutlery required - just peace and pie

By the campfire, rustic and ready to eat

Watching the match, pint in hand, slice on a plate

 

Wherever he is, it goes with him. And tastes like a little thank-you.

Great British Beef Week with The Country Victualler 🇬🇧 Celebrating real food, real farmers, and 40 years of doing things properly

It's Great British Beef Week, and here at The Country Victualler. We're all about celebrating the things that matter: local farmers, proper butchery and delicious, naturally raised British beef.

We have been proudly independent for over 40 years, and we're still here - because we care about doing things the right way. That means knowing where our food comes from, keeping traditions alive and supporting the incredible people who raise the animals we're proud to put on your plates.

Why We Love British Beef

British beef really is something special. It's:

Grass-fed and locally sourced

Free from hormones and antibiotics

Raised with care, right here in the UK

And when animals are raised well, the beef isn't just tastier -  it's better for your health too.  Think natural Omega-3s, iron and vitamin-rich protein that fuels your body the way nature intended.

A Proud Heritage

We're not just a butcher - we're a team of passionate food lovers who believe in craft, flavour and supporting small-scale farming. From our kitchen to yours, we're here to share the very best of British food heritage, one small-batch cut at a time.

Taste the Difference

To mark Great British Beef Week, we're showcasing our NEW Steak Connoisseur's Meatbox - a juicy line-up of proper British steaks.

Try it for yourself:

Perfect for steak lovers, foodies, BBQ nights or thoughtful gifts. (Trust us - you'll taste the difference).
