British Pie Week – The Best Pie in Britain!

It’s British Pie Week again and we’re thrilled to be celebrating our favourite dish unabashedly for an entire week! We thought it would be fun to write about the BEST Pie in Britain in this edition of Chunk Chat.

It goes without saying that determining the "best" pie in Britain is highly subjective and depends on individual tastes and preferences. However, there are several iconic pies that are beloved across the UK for their delicious flavours and rich culinary heritage.

We asked Chat GPT (our favourite AI platform) what the best pie in Britain was and these are the contenders it came back with. We also asked Google but it reeled off a series of sweet pies and we decided it was wrong 🙃

steak and ale pie features tender chunks of beef cooked in a rich, savoury gravy with mushrooms and onions, all encased in a golden pastry crust. It's hearty, comforting, and quintessentially British.

Chicken and Mushroom Pie: Another beloved classic, chicken and mushroom pie combines succulent pieces of chicken with earthy mushrooms in a creamy sauce, all nestled within a flaky pastry crust. It's a timeless comfort food enjoyed by many.

Cornish Pasty (ahem): Hailing from Cornwall (or does it?!!), the Cornish Pasty is a hand-held pie filled with the savoury ingredients of beef, potatoes, onions, and swede all encased in a sturdy pastry crust. It's a hearty and portable meal that's perfect for on-the-go dining. These points are absolutely true - our Devon Steak Pasty has won countless awards to prove it's a good'un!

To celebrate British Pie Week we're giving away free pies! If you create your own selection box this week (before 10th March 24) worth over £35 and pop in a delightfully cheesy Homity Pie then you'll get it free when you use "LEAP" at the checkout. You're welcome!
