V.Goode Pies – Michelin-recommended Manchester restaurant launches new pie shop

Did someone order a lasagne pie?

Daisy Jackson - 18th November 2025

A new pie shop has opened in Manchester today – and it comes from the same team behind a Michelin-recommended restaurant.

Chefs Shaun Moffat (of Winsome fame) and Sam Grainger (Madre, Belzan, Doug’s and loads more) have joined forces for V.Goode Pies.

The Oxford Road pie shop promises to serve ‘the kind of pies Manchester’s been waiting for’ that won’t cost the earth.

Shaun and Sam dreamed up the idea following the success of the pie offering at Winsome, which are a highlight of its proudly British menu.

Now open on Oxford Road, you’ll find four core individual pies as well as breakfast pies.

Expect classic flavours like cheese and onion, and meat and potato, but also less common creations like a lasagne pie and a breakfast pie too.

There’ll be the option to have your pie served in a barm, Wigan kebab-style, or have it as it comes after a hefty dunk in a vat of gravy.

You can also have it served on a classic dinner tray, with mash and mushy peas on the side.

As well as traditional fillings, V. Goode Pies will have more out-there bakes like a lasagne pie, where layers of pasta are packed into a pie crust.

You can also expect rotating specials and collaborations.

V.Goode Pies – or, to use its government name, Valerie Goode’s Pies – is inspired by co-founder Tom Fastiggi’s dinner lady grandmother and pie connoisseur.

V.Goode Pies will take over the old Loaf store on Oxford Road and is set to open on 18 November, with a pop-up also planned at Freight Island this winter.

The pie shop will be open Monday to Saturday, from 8am until they sell out.
