"Vans get replaced on insurance but all that work and all those ingredients, just nicked."
The stolen items, which included steak and ale pies, turkey and cranberry pies and butternut squash pies, would have been enough to stock Tommy's Pie Shop for a week, according to the chef.
He continued: "The thing that I'm gutted about especially is, what are they going to do with them, are they going to dump them somewhere?
"It's just a real shame."
North Yorkshire Police said it had been informed of the theft and asked anyone with information to get in touch.
"The guys are absolutely scrambling but I think we have enough to get through today and we're just working like crazy to make more," he said.
"Hopefully we'll be able to stock ourselves back up again."
Mr Banks put out a video message on social media appealing for the thieves to "do the right thing" and donate the pies to a community centre to avoid thousands of meals going to waste.
