His wife Sue is also involved in the business.

When she isn't looking after the children, Sue looks after any orders they get as well as acting as a taste tester.

Meanwhile, two of the couple's 22 children also work for the family business.

Chloe has helped make pies for the last five years as well as suggesting new recipes, according to Noel.
