No way, love a white sauce style pie, chicken, bacon and leek, or chicken and mushroom etc.MrOneLung said:And chicken pie must have a gravy filling, none of that creamy white crap

If you like pies and beer (I'm guessing a few might agree...) the Admiralty pub, Trafalgar Square is well worth a visit. They do a pie tasting board where you get (I think) 4 different slices of various pies. They also do a beer sampler where you get 4 or 5 different small beers. Its a Fuller's pub so all the beers are pretty good. Bit pricey but worth a one-off.

Blimey. Pigeon, mallard and rabbit. Surprised you didn't put a guinea pig in there for extra flavour.i_b_b_o_r_g said:I've made some astonishing mixed game pies over the years, more by luck than judgement tbh. Had a mooch with a friend when I was back a couple of years ago, and ended up with a couple of mallard and pigeon. I breasted them, added some rabbit he had in the freezer, coated it in flour fried it off with some onions and garlic, chucked some frozen peas in, added a glug of red and stock cube, all covered with shop bought puff pastry and it was to die for, even if I do say so myself.
I don't think a well made minced beef and onion pie can be beaten though1 -

Suet "pies" are puddings not pies, fact.0 -
Once bought a steak and kidney pie at Rochdale that was so good I queued up for another before I’d even finished it.
Had pie, mash and liquor the other week for the first time in years, forgot how good (and filling) it was.
for a fake pie, Joe Wicks chicken pie (filo pastry lid only) is awesome0 -
I'm a simple pie man, can't beat a minced beef and onion pie or a meat and potato pie.
lady I used to work with (who sadly passed away) used to make pies at home at the weekend and bring them in for all the lads in the office, they were absolutely amazing, especially her chicken curry pie, chill con carne pie and corn beef hash pie.....she also made the most amazing sausage rolls with different spices in them

Kennedy's in Bromley used to be fantastic, always a queue out the door. A shame they closed down.0 -
Yep, great thread.
Would be interested to see more shouts on pie venues too – particularly south of the river.
Goddard's Greenwich is ok and I've been meaning to go to Manzes... Any others?0 -
Arments in Walworth a favourite for pie & mash for me, Manzies & Goddards also very good1

I have a bias but hard to beat Scotch pies (aka mutton pies) with brown sauce. Once you have had one you have to have another. Only minced meat (rarely mutton nowadays) and lardy water pastry with good helping of salt. A now departed Addick (and former butcher) used to make them for Elgin City home games - they were handsome.1

No pie thread would be complete without reference to Leavers pie shop on the Bolton Road outside Ewood Park. Was always told these were the best pies in English football and hard to disagree.1

I came out of there one season and was not allowed into the ground until I finished them! I thought the stewards were taking the p*** but there was a sign reading about food being forbidden to take inside.
I missed the first 5 minutes.0 -
A friend took me to Dulwich Hamlet v Carlisle last week. Unbelievably good pies there, complete with mash n‘ peas.0

I have to pretend to like traditional pie and mash shop pies. I’ll eat them - but they are just sooooo bland.I much prefer a pie with a proper gravy in them.I’m a big fan of a very short crust pork pie with mustard or piccalilli.1

I visited the famous Thunderbird restaurant on a road trip a couple of years ago with my son (it’s near Zion National Park on the road to Monument Valley). They have got into a bit of trouble in recent years due to the sexist sign. It was, of course, a hoot in the 50s but modern times have caught up. They have persevered but the explanation on the menu is a little hard to believe! Their fruit pies are to die for!!!!
Best ever steak and sausage pies are made By Auchengree farm shop in Ayrshire. Slaughtered on site and cooked there and then. Utterly fabulous. Google it.1 -
I do a.raised game pie every Xmas which I love but but can’t beat a traditional meat pie with mash and liquor.0
