What’s to come in 2025

How is it the end of January already? The longest month of the year (or what feels like the longest month of the year), but the perfect time to finalise plans for the year ahead.

This year, we’re focusing on growing our events and trade partners in Manchester and Greater Manchester. We’re known and loved by many in Bolton, and we need to grow that presence in other areas.

Delighting new customers at events across the North West

We’ll be taking part in the Bolton Food and Drink Festival again - an event we love being part of. We’ve attended every year since 2017, and each year it gets bigger and better and we get to introduce even more people to our pasties. Stay tuned for updates on our festival pasty too!

One of our favourite weeks of the year is Charity Week, which we host at our Bakery Shop on Manchester Road. We invite our supported charities to set up a stall outside our shop so they can raise money and awareness for their cause. In the past, charities have brought inflatables, raffles, and games for people to enjoy. We love giving back to the community and supporting charities that do so much.

Some of our favourite moments from last year were at events we catered for with our Pasty Van—seeing the bride and groom at weddings, full of joy with their guests, all with a pasty in hand. Or watching people try a new pasty for the first time at an event they’re attending with friends and family while making memories.

Developing our relationships with trade partners

Our trade partners are a huge part of our business. Thanks to them, we can bring our products to so many more customers. Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships - teaching them how to bake deliciously golden pasties like the ones in our shops, helping them get the most out of their orders, and continuously learning what works best for them. We’re looking forward to developing this even further in 2025.

Community engagement

Community is at the heart of Carrs Pasties. Some of our customers have grown up with us, so their opinions and support are vital. We regularly ask for feedback and will continue to do so in 2025, as it allows us to continuously improve and provide customers with the products and services they want.

More fun

We love to have fun—at events, on social media, in our shops, and at Pasty HQ. Whether it’s with each other or our customers, bringing joy is what we do best. So, expect more competitions, more fun and games at events, and more memorable moments in 2025!

We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings and hope to see lots of you along the way!
