About Us

Welcome to Hanson’s Award Winning Pies, A Time-Honoured Tradition Since 1944

Originating in the heart of the picturesque village of Barrowford, Lancashire, the Hanson’s name stands as a living testimony to the rich history and vibrant culinary culture of the region. Established in 1944, our family-run butcher’s shop and bakery has been passed down from generation to generation. In 1964 we moved to the market hall in Nelson, Lancashire where our quality meats and traditional pies gained further popularity. In 1972 due to expansion the shop front moved to the Arndale centre and then in 1989 to our mainstay premises where most of you will remember us on Leeds Road.

Our Story

For generations, our family and staff have dedicated themselves to perfecting the art of our craft. Throughout the years, Hanson’s became a staple in the community. When we were informed about the changes to Nelson town centre which required us to move, Philip made the decision to close the Butcher’s shop and to continue with the bakery as wholesale only. Since then we have provided local businesses with our famous award winning pies across the county with our pies asked for by name at our many resellers.

Passed down from generation to generation, the essence of what makes us special continues to thrive. Welcome to our online store where you can buy your Hanson’s Award Winning Pies directly fresh and direct to your door on a daily basis.
