About Fray Bentos
Fray Bentos is an iconic British brand of tinned pies and puddings, now owned by Baxters and manufactured in Scotland. The brand has been a kitchen cupboard staple for generations, famous for its distinctive pie-in-a-tin format featuring signature 64-layer golden puff pastry tops. In 2025, the brand launched a "Bish Bash Bentos" campaign with social media star Big John Fisher, known as 'The Boshfather', connecting with both nostalgic fans and new younger shoppers. The Fray Bentos range includes classic Steak & Kidney pie, and in 2025 expanded with two new flavours: Mac & Cheese (inspired by Scottish bakery traditions, suitable for vegetarians) and Chicken & Mushroom in rich creamy sauce. Seasonal offerings include the Festive Turkey Pie with Cumberland sausage, sage and thyme gravy. Vegetarian options like Cheese & Onion and Vegetable Balti pies cater to meat-free diets. The brand also produces tinned meat puddings, meatballs, and microwaveable pasta and rice dishes. Survey data shows 34% of Britons now purchase more tinned food than five years ago, with convenience and value driving this trend - positioning Fray Bentos perfectly for modern meal planning. Products are widely available at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, and B&M stores nationwide, typically priced around £2.99 per tin. The pies simply require oven baking, emerging with a golden, crispy pastry top.
