Here’s what a recent customer of Davis has to say about Handheld Sweet & Savory Pies: “I finally got here and am very glad I did. I had Jim’s Barbacoa Beef pie, that came with a nice side of pickled onions as a counterpoint to the meaty filling. Quite delish. Selection covers main categories. I have learned the offerings change frequently and I look forward to trying the whole variety!

“Portion was a reasonable lunch size for me; those with larger appetites may want to order two. When we are in the UK, we seek out the West Cornwall Pasty Company, but since they aren’t stateside, Handheld Pies are a good alternative.”

They change their menu often but we thought we give you a quick taste of what they have listed currently. You might want to run over and see them for a bite of something Savory, delicious and Sweet.

Made from – if one hasn’t already guessed –Blue Pines, the Newberry’s lumber comes from these
