"We started stocking the Dad’s Butter Chicken pie in our bakery as a hot, ready to eat option and the feedback has been excellent. Further to the Butter Chicken single serve, we have recently got in the Dads Family range. They have gone gang busters. I was initially a bit gun shy as we had never had any requests for family pies, but once we got them in they flew out of the freezer. We have just ordered our second round after only two weeks. They are brilliantly presented and are a Spring Creek favourite! Thanks, Dad’s Pies!! "
