Our vision is to make eating animals a thing of the past. Our mission, to lead this change by creating irresistible plant-based food. We’re change makers, always have been and always will be.

We first set foot on this glorious mission back in 1986, when our founder Clive began making pies with his wife Lucie in Devon. Driven by a love and respect for animals, channelling bucketloads of entrepreneurial spirit, Clive’s was born. Back then our delicious bakes were hand delivered on the back of a bicycle, and whilst we’ve had to change our two wheels to four, keeping our environmental footprint in check is still at the core of what we do.

For decades, we’ve been championing organic. Working with sustainable growers and using ingredients that are free from genetic modification. We use minimal packaging that can be composted or recycled. Just what the planet ordered.

Today, we invite you to join us on this mission. To help us change the world, one scrumptious bite at a time. To keep hens clucking, pigs oinking and cows mooing. Free to live their best lives.

Now that’s what we call plant positivity.

Plant-based and Principled

all organic and grown without chemicals?

100% recyclable packing?

locally sourced where possible?

sustainable farming methods used?

Yep, here at Clive’s we are ticking all the planetary boxes.

We like to do things the right way, with a seal of approval from the industry experts.

palm oil - rspo certified

As our pastry is vegan, we don’t use animal fats to bind our dough. Our options are currently palm, avocado or coconut oil. Of the three, palm oil is actually the most efficient to produce and puts the least strain on land and resources. Until we can find an alternative, we will use the most ethical and sustainable palm oil possible, certified to the highest standard by the RSPO. This means it is fully traceable and is grown on assigned land that will not cause any further deforestation. You can find out more about our use of sustainable palm oil here.

Our supplier of palm oil is the Daabon Group in Colombia and they were globally recognised as one of the most sustainable and ethical in their palm practices as per SPOTT’s ESG Policy Transparency Assessment:
