It comes after the business hit the headlines back in 2019 when they dispatched an order of their offerings to Buckingham Palace amidst speculation that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had a taste for the pies.
Phil Turner, managing director of Turner’s Pies, says the coronation edibles would undoubtedly get the royal seal of approval if their majesties got the chance to try them.
Phil has overseen an incredible journey for the family business that has seen multiple gongs scooped at the British Pie Awards -- including supreme champion steak and stilton crowned pies of pies.

“Being named in the Guild of Fine Food’s top 50 foods in the UK and having Harrods of Knightsbridge choosing to stock Turner’s Pies in their world-famous food halls – as well as the many, many awards we have been given – means we know they are good enough for royalty.
“It'd be nice to be able to get some pies to King Charles and Camilla for their big day but this is the next best thing as we allow our customers to enjoy a right royal treat!”
