Pie connoisseurs Clive’s Purely Plants are renowned for their great tasty vegan pies and quiches. Now, the brand has been awarded ‘best vegan pie’ in the Vegan Food & Living’s Product Awards 2023.

Our panel of expert judges ranked Clive’s Organic Creamy Mushroom Puff Pie as the best-tasting pie thanks to its delicious filling and flaky golden pastry.

The judges were impressed by how generously filled the pies were and were blown away by the deep umami flavour from the mushrooms.

One judge said: “The flavour was amazing! Rather than it being a bland, homogenous mushroom flavour, you could really taste the different mushrooms used and they felt really fresh.”

Another said: “[I was] Very impressed with the strength of flavour that Clive’s have managed to pack into the pie.”

“It’s the perfect little mushroom pie!”

Who are Clive’s Purely Plants?

Clive’s Purely Plants are the veg experts – having always been vegetarian, the brand is now 100% plant-based. Clive’s vision is to make eating animals a thing of the past.

The mission? To lead this change by creating irresistible plant-based food.

The brand first set foot on this glorious mission back in 1986, when founder Clive began making pies with his wife, Lucie, in Devon. Driven by a love and respect for animals, channelling bucketloads of entrepreneurial spirit, Clive’s was born.

Back then their delicious bakes were hand-delivered on the back of a bicycle, and whilst they’ve had to change our two wheels to four, keeping our environmental footprint in check is still at the core of what they do.

For decades, Clive’s has been championing organic. Working with sustainable growers and using ingredients that are free from genetic modification. Using minimal packaging that can be composted or recycled, and everything is 100% plastic free. Just what the planet ordered.

A recent addition to their award-winning range includes Clive’s rough puff pastry pies filled with delicious fillings. The award-winning creamy mushroom filling is now in the newly developed delicious puff pastry.

Chestnut, shiitake and porcini team up for a heavenly mushroom medley. What’s not to love?
