Bristol-based pie maker Pieminister is to launch ‘Big Pie Night’ – a pie menu solution which it claims can help pubs and bars achieve a gross profit of over 60%.

The launch will coincide with British Pie Week (1-7 March 2010), and the firm will be giving away free pies, gravy, mash and peas to participating pubs to kick-start the new concept.

Pieminister will also be working with participating pubs to promote Big Pie Night with marketing tools including point-of-sale and online promotion.

The firm claims some of the benefits of running Big Pie Night as a regular feature include lower staff costs, total consistency and portion control, the need for minimal kitchen equipment, and minimal preparation time.

* During British Pie Week, Pieminister will offer all participating pubs 24 pies (six different varieties), as well as 4kg mash, 2kg minty m’peas and 1 litre of gravy for free.
