An independent bakery and takeaway serving award-winning handmade pies, giant sausage rolls, sweet treats and proper pie dinners.
The Pie Hole is an independent bakery and takeaway on Duckworth Street, known for homemade pies packed with generous fillings and plenty of flavour.
Alongside classics such as meat and potato, cheese and onion and chicken, ham and leek, you will find creative specials, giant hog roast sausage rolls and home-baked sweet treats. Take your pies home or enjoy them with mash, peas and gravy for a proper comforting lunch.
The Pie Hole has earned a growing reputation far beyond Darwen, with customers travelling from across the country to try its imaginative flavour combinations.
The team collected an impressive 14 awards at the 2026 British Pie Awards, while previous successes include Gold for The Bengal Tiger and recognition for favourites such as Bang Bang Chicken, The Cheesy Hombre and Wagyu Baby. The shop regularly sells out, so getting there early is always a good idea.
