The team from Winsome and Madre are opening a pie shop on Oxford Road

Chefs Shaun Moffat and Sam Grainger are teaming up once more to bring Manchester a new dedicated pie shop: V.Goode Pies.

They will open at 83 Oxford Road on 18 November, taking over the site previously occupied by cake shop Loaf.

Following the success of Moffat’s exceptional pie game at Winsome, the team spotted a gap in the market for ‘proper, hearty pies that don’t cost the earth’.

Grainger, known for his work at Madre, Medlock Canteen and Belzan in Liverpool, joins him to deliver exactly that – pies with crowd-pleasing fillings that come in at £6 each.

The menu will centre on four core individual pies – a meat and potato, a roast chicken and stuffing, cheese, potato and onion, with Mrs Kirkham’s famous Lancashire cheese, and a curveball ‘lasagne’ pie, with beef shin ragu, bechamel, pasta and cheese.

For early risers, there will be a breakfast pie with sausage, thick cut bacon, cheese, baked beans and hashbrowns, while breakfast barms (and indeed breakfast pie barms) will be served until 11am daily, alongside rotating specials and collaborations.

Extras include a sausage roll, ‘pie dip’ (either gravy or curry sauce), the choice to flip a pie into a pie barm, Wigan kebab-style, mushy peas, or the full ‘pie dinner’ option for the hungry.

The name, shorthand for Valerie Goode, is so-named after co-founder Tom Fastiggi’s nan, a former dinner lady and pie aficionado.

Opening daily Monday to Saturday from 8am and serving until they sell out, V.Goode Pies will also pop up at the city’s Freight Island this winter, spreading the pie-love across Manchester beyond its Oxford Road base.
