My family have been in Whitby for more than one generation. It was renovated 10 years ago and lots of cobbler equipment was found. Over the years this shop has been a cobblers and a sweet shop. People say there is a ghost in here, people sense it. Our shop isn’t very big so we often have queues out the door.
We also get a lot of Goths and Steam Punk customers. We also do traditional old fashioned puddings because our customers enjoy war-themed menu – jam roly poly, bread and butter pudding etc. We make all types of pie from the traditional mince or steak to the haggis neep pies, vegetarian, lamb leek and rosemary. I’ve been here for 4 years and my job includes cooking, waitressing and cleaning. I’m a cook at the Humble Pie ‘n’ Mash in Whitby.
#HUMBLE PIE BAKING COMPANY FULL#
Today we meet Lucy McClure, the cook at the Humble Pie ‘n’ Mash, a family run business, operating within a delightful, lovingly restored 16th Century building which had originally been a bakery and has come full circle back to baking (pies)! Serving up an excellent range of mouth-wateringly traditional fare, just like Grandma used to make. Shoreline Cottages has interviewed a number of these ‘Whitby folk’ to find out why they love the town so much and how they think it’s changed. Through their daily work they help keep the town ticking and help make it a great town to visit. There are only a few that the Stockholm Pie Company feels confident in shipping, but even after a couple days of transit, the blackberry pear had all the ladies in the office swooning.Why We Love Whitby - Resident and Tourist Interviews Why We Love Whitby - Resident and Tourist Interviews Whitby Folk – a cook at Humble Pie ‘n’ Mash So impressed by the pies, I mail ordered a couple home to me.
They also make great looking cinnamon rolls, savory pies (pear, bacon, blue cheese anyone?) and cookies with delicious fruit filling, which they call pie cookies. This is a tall stack of sweet apples, densely packed under a crumble top that reminds me of an apple crisp another great slice of pie. He declared it the best slice of pie he has ever had! I had the apple pie baked in a bag. The bottom layer is a sharp-tasting lemon chess pie, while the top layer is a light lemon custard, with cut up bits of lemon in it. This is no mass-producing pie factory.Ĭousin Johnny went for a slice of double lemon. And they only make one of those pies a day. At first, I was disheartened to find that my favorite pie, sour cream raisin, was not available because a previous customer came in and bought the entire pie. There is a blackboard with a lengthy list of flavors, which you can buy per slice, per six-inch mini-pie, or as a whole ten-inch pie. Stopping by on a bright May morning, the aroma of fresh baked goods hit me as soon as I opened the door. A humble little place that has only been in business since 2008, this just might be the pie shop of my dreams! Located in the tiny town of Stockholm (which had less than 100 people in the 2000 census) is the Stockholm Pie Company. If you love genuine, from-scratch butterscotch pie and know you are coming to Stockholm, call ahead and Janet will make one for you.įor those driving the Great River Road along the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi, there is a place you need to know about. Among year-around favorites are caramel apple crunch, sour cream apple, peanut butter fudge, banana cream, and a stunning double lemon that is a ribbon of citrus-specked curd atop creamy lemon chess. The daily inventory varies, including such seasonal specialties as mincemeat, pumpkin, rhubarb, and eggnog custard. They come full-size and as 6-inchers suitable for two and every day, about a dozen are available by the slice. It’s the sweet pies that have put this place on the Roadfood honor roll. With a locally-bottled Spring Grove root beer – not too sweet, very spicy – one such pie is a memorable meal. They’re made with a flaky, melting-rich crust that complements whatever it holds. Savory pies are notable, among them sausage-apple-cheddar, bacon-pear-blue cheese, and chicken pot pie. No doubt, Wisconsin is one of the nation’s premier pie states and among the foremost of its pie palaces is the Stockholm Pie Company, a corner store in a sweet little hamlet on the shore of Lake Pepin.
