In 2014 three South Africans opened Panbury’s, a unique gourmet pie shop and new high quality fast food concept in America. Their goal was to create delicious, wholesome pies using traditional cooking techniques, fresh, healthy ingredients and international flair! Panbury’s is bringing the tradition of the hand pie to America by recreating South African, British and Australian favorites in a new style. Potpies, meat pies, patties, pasties and cuisines from around the world inspire Panbury’s flavorful, heaping-full hand-pies.
PAN & BURY
After immigrating to America in 2009, a home-sick South African family was craving their favorite comfort food from home. One night over dinner a family pie franchise was concocted.The concept was there; all that was missing was the chef. Lauren was finishing up her degree in Art History in Charleston, SC, when she stumbled upon a fellow South African expat flipping crepes at the Charleston Farmer’s Market. Adam turned out to be a self-taught chef and food enthusiast. After completing his Masters in Neuroscience he ditched his plans for a future in medicine to pursue a career in the culinary arts. With much guidance and inspiration from Lauren's father, Lauren and Adam opened the first Panbury’s pie shop in 2014, at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market in Downtown Atlanta.
