Men’s Pie Club Thursday 30th July 3pm-7 pm – Baking from 4.30-5pm. Everyone Welcome.

Good morning, all,

We finally have a date for our New Men’s Pie Club Initiative.-See attached –here

Each of our Pie Clubs are slightly different, and are shaped by the Pie Men and the communities that support them. Our members’ differences are what makes Men’s Pie Club such a good thing: whether you’re shy or outgoing, a pro-baker or a kitchen novice, an apprentice or approaching retirement, or have always lived around the corner or are new to the area, you will bring something new to your club and become a valued member.

That said, there are a few things that are guaranteed whichever club you choose to attend. Our clubs are always relaxed, friendly and informal, and run consistently without an end-date. Respect and understanding are two of our key values, and clubs are accessible and non-judgemental. Once you’re a member, you’re welcome to attend for as long as you wish to. Some of our members have been with us from the beginning and others just joined last week, but everyone will work together to make you feel right at home!

About Men’s Pie Club

Men’s Pie Club was established in the North East of England in 2018 to bring local men together through good food and great company. It’s all about making pies, having a laugh, and getting to know a great bunch of lads in a relaxed, no-fuss environment.

From one pie to a growing movement

Men’s Pie Club started in Byker, Newcastle (UK) in 2017 with a simple idea: get local guys together to make pies and have a laugh. It wasn’t about therapy or fixing anything – just creating a relaxed, male-friendly space where men could connect over good food and good company.

The idea was……From there we consulted with a group of men to develop the idea before getting some funding and development support from Movember to pilot the idea.

At the time, we knew there was a need for something different. Too many men were feeling disconnected or stuck, and traditional services weren’t always the right fit. We believed food could be the start of something powerful—and it was.

Nearly 8 years on and over 10,000 pies made and baked MPC has consistently received positive media coverage and support from individuals and organisations. This ongoing support has been crucial to our development.

Fast forward to today, and Men’s Pie Club has grown into a network of volunteer- and member-led weekly clubs, creating space for men of all ages and backgrounds to meet, share skills, and enjoy the kind of laid-back camaraderie that builds confidence, community, and purpose.

 

A movement shaped by the people that join in

MPC isn’t a service for men – it’s a club run by them. From the beginning, we’ve worked in partnership with members, volunteers, and local organisations to shape how clubs run, what’s on offer, and where we go next.

• 75% of our leaders were once members
• Over 100 members have helped shape programme design through co-design sessions
• Every club is different—but the pies are always excellent

We’re proud that MPC is now embedded in social prescribing networks, recognised as a trusted, preventative initiative that’s helping to improve men’s wellbeing—one pie at a time.
