Burnley pie company Haffners will be serving its goods to hungry football fans ahead of the Claret’s return to the Premier League.

Haffners will be serving its award-winning pies to Clarets’ fans in the fan zone this season.

The Burnley bakery will start selling their popular pies from tonight (August 11) and will also be adding their very own Haffners peas and gravy.

Tonight’s game will see Burnley take on defending champions Manchester City in a clash at Turf Moor stadium.

Ted Cockett, managing director of Haffners, said: “My brother Dean and I are life-long Burnley fans ourselves and have been attending matches home and away since we were kids.

“To now have our own branded area of the fan zone selling Haffners pies is just incredible and we can’t wait to open the hatch and welcome a sea of hungry customers in claret and blue.

“We posted the news on social media yesterday and the response was amazing! Having only owned the business for a year we’re extremely grateful to our customers for their loyalty. They asked for our pies on the Turf, and we delivered.”

It’s been quite a week for the business, first hearing news of two award wins at the Great Taste Awards and also sharing the news of the acquisition of Pasture Farm Foods, and now this.

Facebook followers were quick to react to the news with comments such as “best pies in Burnley”, “OMG tell grandma and she might come to games”, and “great news, great pies”.

And Ted is hoping for one certain customer at the hatch this season, NFL legend J.J Watt who invested in Burnley earlier this year.

“To get J.J. Watt enjoying a proper taste of Burnley would be just amazing, and we’re determined to make that happen,” he said.
