Brownings the Bakers, the largest bakery in the West of Scotland, are at the heart of baking in Ayrshire. Their doors opened in 1945 and today it’s still a family business with the founder’s son, John Gall, at the helm. Brownings have eight bakers shops across the region with a factory shop and large bakery supplying the wholesale market and hospitality industry. Along with all the traditional bakery favourites, including a range of pies and savouries, cakes, morning rolls and potato scones, Brownings make the famous Kilmarnock football pie, ‘The Killie Pie’, which boasts its own Facebook page. The company’s mail order service, offering a selection of popular pies and bridies, ensures fans throughout the country always get their favourite snack. A buffet catering service offers cakes, sandwich platters, buffet style pies and sausage rolls.
