That's the expensive way of doing things - the alternative is to do what I've already done - order in as and when.

Re: Favourite Pie?
My personal favourite is a roast beef and ale pie. Whenever we have roast beef for Sunday dinner, I always make sure that the joint is much too big so that I have loads left for Pie Monday. I fry off onions, celery, diced carrots and mushrooms and put them into the slow cooker. Then cut the cold roast beef into chunks and add them. Finally add beef stock and half a pint of a good dark ale. Leave it in the slow cooker for a few hours to tenderise and take on the ale flavour. Blind bake the bottom of the pie (must be very short, short pastry). The add some gravy thickening to the meat. Once it has thickened, strain the meat with a sieve and add it to the pie dish -spoon on a few tablespoons of the gravy to keep the meat moist, put on the pastry lid and cook till the pastry is browned and wonderfully crumbly. Keep the remaining beef and ale gravy to pour over the meal. I prefer it with new potatoes and french beans. MMMMMMM!

Re: Favourite Pie?
Andy matey, I can pronounce that the the pies I ordered and had delivered are deliciously fabulous!!! - good solid chunks of meat with a tasty sauce and the pastry is really light and flaky. I would thoroughly recommend them should you wish to avail yourself of placing an order yourself.|
