Square Pie, the gourmet pie shop chain, is to be an official partner of the Dallaglio Foundation charity ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

The company, which is currently crowdfunding to expand its business, has had a retail presence at Twickenham Stadium and previously catered for Dallaglio Foundation events including its RugbyWorks Street World Cup and a Locker Room event.

The official partnership will include a commemorative pie called The Dallaglio Foundation Steak and Ale Pie, which 10p of every pie sold will go directly to the foundation.

Founder of the Foundation and former England International, Lawrence Dallaglio, said: “We’re delighted that Square Pie are joining us as an official food partner. The business has shown great support for the Foundation to date and we’re excited about this next chapter. What could be a more winning combination than rugby and pies!?”

Founder of Square Pie, Martin Dewey said: “We are thrilled to be a ‘food partner’ of the Dallaglio Foundation. We wholeheartedly support the work of the Foundation and the pairing was natural for us with a passion for rugby and its values ingrained within the brand.’’
