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.

Sorry I'm a bit late replying Joe, not been online for a few days. I'm glad you liked them at that price. Though they do say you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay a bit ore for a decent pie than a cheapo that's bulked out with god knows what.

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!

Found something interesting: apart from my local pie shop, there is also this: https://www.therealpieco.co.uk/ - a company based just t'other side of the South Downs from me in Crawley - I have placed an order for a dozen pies!!!

A Welsh oggie, so big I cut one in half and it does me two meals.

I decided to try them after this (a bit belated). My order arrived today and tried the pasty at lunchtime - it was the best I've tasted.

Will have a steak & potato with some mash later tonight.
Deffo worth the extra money.

Too expensive for me...unfortunately thanks to the supermarkets five local butchers have been forced to close in recent years.
One of the few left that made delicious pies has been forced by 'Elf and Safety to cease baking without having a complete refit But he is allowed to sell meat??...I've been in the back and the premises are spotless....defeats me!
