From lockdown kitchen to official pie supplier at Portsmouth FC

Nothing beats a traditional British pie when you’re watching the football, and Pompey supporters can continue to look forward to enjoying both at Fratton Park.

Portsmouth Football Club are delighted to announce a multi-year partnership with Willy’s Pies, who become the club’s Official Pie Supplier ahead of the 2026/27 season after working with the club during the second half the season last term.

The partnership will ensure the award-winning pie makers will continue to bring their handcrafted range to Fratton Park for seasons to come, ensuring supporters continue to have top-quality food options to enjoy before kick-off, at half-time and throughout the season.

Known for combining traditional pie making with bold flavours and quality ingredients, Willy’s Pies has built a strong reputation across the UK. The partnership reflects Portsmouth FC’s commitment to continually improving the matchday experience for supporters, both on and off the pitch.

Supporters will be able to continue to enjoy Willy’s Pies from the opening home fixture of the new campaign.

William Lewis, founder of Willy’s Pies, said: ‘Becoming a partner at this great club was a no-brainer for us. Since incorporating Willy's Pies after being furloughed as a chef in lockdown 2020, I never would have thought we'd be servicing such an iconic club as Portsmouth. Fratton Park is a place bursting at the seams with passion and pride, and we want to be part of it. It fits our ethos and is exactly what we're about here at Willy's Pies. Our hand-pressed pies are made properly. No funny business. Baked daily by our team in East London using quality British produce. Grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, fresh herbs and vegetables, and award-winning pastry. Proper pies for a proper club. PLAY UP POMPEY.'

Portsmouth FC’s Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Judges, added: ‘Willy's Pies proved themselves invaluable to us last season. When we needed them most, they stepped up – like our fans do every week! The quality, the care, the commitment to doing things properly - it resonates with everything we stand for. We saw their passion firsthand last season and we're excited to build our initial relationship into a multi-year partnership. From a chef's vision born in lockdown to proper pies for a proper club; we look forward to continuing our story together. Our supporters deserve quality, and they deliver that without compromise.’

Supporters will begin to see the partnership come to life over the coming weeks, with newly branded kiosks serving all your matchday fayre in the North and South stands during the opening weeks of the season.
