FLAVOUR

It seems obvious but this is the key driver of our product development. Our range is influenced by gourmet main meals and we aim to replicate the flavour profile and textures as closely as we can to the experience of eating the main meal equivalent. To deliver this we use as many of the mail meal ingredients as possible including like for like main proteins ( Chicken Breast, Whole muscle steak, Leg of pork, beef Brisket We will never produce a pie made from minced meat or meat trim).  We also use herbs, spices and flavours as per the main meal without compromise so if it needs a Chilli kick, ours will have it, if it needs Truffle tone, ours will provide it.

FEEL

Texture is a truly important part of any great eating experience and we believe that the key characteristics of the lead ingredient in the pies must not be lost in the cooking process. This requires a really fine balance in setting temperature and time the recipes are cooked for, allowing for the pies being baked in production and then re baked by customers. If we cannot maintain the key ingredient characteristic (irrespective of how good the flavour is) we wont progress with the recipe.

FULL 

Whilst all pies need to be made with an air gap to allow the filling to expand when baked without either blowing the top off or oozing out of the pie, we have perfected the fill to 86% of the crust capacity delivering pies that average 300 grams and as full as is possible. We also insist on “substance over sauce” so you will never have our pies run out all over your plate. As a result we do recommend having extra gravy or sauce on the side. (A rich cheese sauce can be an absolute game changer for most pies).

FIRM

We prefer a shortcrust pastry for our pies as it delivers the best all round savoury pie eating experience. We bake our pies before packing to set the pastry and then provide cooking instructions to help you create the perfect crust on the second bake.. Firm crisp exterior but with a crumbly buttery texture – perfect.

FAITH

The thing about pie versus most other food is that you only get to understand what you have bought until you cut into it. We recognise that having faith in food is therefore a very important part of the commitment and we understand our duty of care in ensuring our customers can have full trust in our product.

Our guarantee that if our pies don’t exceed your expectations, you will receive a full refund is a commitment that is a no quibble policy. Noone should every pay for anything they don’t enjoy.
