Fife Fine Foods of Leicester

Fife Fine Foods of Leicester used to be called Henry Walker. Henry Walker was a pork butcher who moved from Mansfield to Leicester in the 1880's. He made good sausage and pork pies, unlike some of the competition. According to the London News in 1880 "the Celebrated Leicester Pork pie have become too celebrated and in Leicester and its neighbourhood will not be thought of for some time without a shudder"!

By 1945 meat was so scarce that Henry branched out and began cooking slices of potato. Now Walkers crisps currently makes 10 million bags of crisps per day!

A Scottish company, Fife Fine Foods, bought up the Walkers butchers stores chain from Dewhursts in 2006.

This shop is the home of the Leicester Pork Pie.

I hope their products are better than the way they treat their employees. Redundancy by SMS is disgraceful. I hope their Director is enjoying his holiday in South Africa though!

Just read the news article here in southern california. I was appalled by the story of the owners/managers of not have the common curtsey to treat their employees humanely as their pigs that they raise.

To be text "Your Fired" don't show up to work, is down right rude! This from the country that professes "Honor and Manners" What a Joke!

I hope your employee(s) sues you and where is the Labor Union in all this? "Not a Peep"
