Award-winning cook's homemade pie shop set to open doors in Shropshire town

Founded in the summer of 2020, Martins was the brainchild of talented chef David Martin and his wife Emma, and has served high-quality pies and ready meals to customers across the county ever since.

Pie maker David has previously worked in Michelin starred and rosetted restaurants across a 17-year-period while Emma is head of operations, with a wealth of knowledge in business.

The pair have built Martins up from a kitchen business at home, which won three stars at the Great Taste Awards this year, to a mini-manufacturing unit and will open up a new shop in Bridgewater Street, Whitchurch on Saturday, November 4.

Among the popular products at Martins is a steak and ale pie, produced with Wagyu Beef supplied by Shropshire-based Alternative Meats,

"Everything has led us to this point," David said. "The signage is up and it's all getting a bit real now.
