NEW Steak & Red Wine or Steak & Ale Pie?

🥊 Battle of the Steak Pies: Ale vs Red Wine 🥧

We’ve taken two of our Chunk classics and given them a serious upgrade… and the results?

🏆 Two Golds at the British Pie Awards

🏆 One Class Winner

🏆 Two medals from this years Taste of the West Awards!

Not bad going!

Meet the contenders:

• NEW Steak & Ale Pie
• Steak & Red Wine Pie (Class Champion)

Both packed with rich, slow-cooked British steak. Both wrapped in our signature buttery pastry. Both already award-winners.

So the question is…
which one wins your pie night?

 Round 1: The Classics

Our new Steak & Ale is the old-school hero. Proper pub grub. Deep, comforting, familiar. It’s been warming plates for generations - and now we’ve levelled it up with a richer, more complex porter ale gravy!

Steak & Red Wine? Slightly more refined. A bit more of a pie night speciality. Still hearty, still comforting, just with a little extra fanciness!

Winner:
Well, we think it depends on your mood...

After a long day? → Ale

Wanting a bit of a fancy twist? → Red Wine

 Round 2: Flavour Punch

Our new Steak & Ale brings those deep, malty, slightly bitter notes - rich, savoury and properly comforting!

Steak & Red Wine leans into boldness, fruity, rounded, with a deeper, more luxurious finish.

Both pack a punch… just in different ways...

Winner:

Love rich and hearty? → Traditional Ale

Love bold and indulgent? → Red Wine

 Round 3: Perfect Pairings

Steak & Ale Pie

• Creamy mash
• Proper gravy
• A pint of something local

Steak & Red Wine Pie

• Dauphinoise or buttery potatoes
• Greens on the side
• A glass of red (obviously)

Winner:

Pub night? → Ale

Date night? → Red Wine

 Round 4: History & Heritage

Steak & Ale Pie has serious roots - it’s one of Britain’s most traditional combinations after all! Beer and beef have been best mates for centuries, and for good reason we say!

Steak & Red Wine Pie brings a slightly more European influence. We're talking slow cooking beef in rich red wine, a complex depth of flavour, and a bit of added flair.

Winner:

• Traditionalist? → Ale
• Wanting a fancy twist? → Red Wine

🏆 Round 5: The Awards

Let’s be honest… this is where it gets serious!

Both pies picked up Gold at the British Pie Awards…
But Steak & Red Wine Pie went one step further and took a Class Win too.

But it’s a close one, because just last week we found out they also won at the Taste of The West Awards!!

Steak & Ale picked up yet another gold, while our Steak & Red Wine got a Commended achievement!

 Final Verdict: Do You Even Have to Choose?

Here’s the thing… you can’t really go wrong!

• Steak & Ale is your go-to comfort classic, now better than ever.
• Steak & Red Wine is the richer, bolder upgrade to our Ultimate Steak Pie - for when you want something a bit richer.

So the real answer?
Stock up on both. Alternate. Argue about it. Make it a thing.

 Over to You…

Are you Team Ale or Team Red Wine?

Whichever way you lean, one thing’s certain, these classics have never tasted better!

Go on - Take a Chunk!
