Celebrating National Pie Week with Game

A Match Made in the Field

There is no better way to honour National Pie Week than by celebrating the rich, rugged flavours of the British countryside. This year, we are marking the occasion with the launch of our most ambitious creation yet: the Pheasant and Venison Game Pie.

Forget what you know about the standard steak and ale. This is a tribute to traditional wild protein, encased in a golden, hand-crimped crust that would make any pastry purist weep with joy.

The Stars of the Show

We believe that a truly exceptional pie starts with the integrity of its ingredients. For this launch, we’ve sourced the very best of the season:

• Wild Venison: Slow-braised until it reaches melt-in-the-mouth perfection, providing a deep, earthy foundation.
• Pheasant: Tender pieces of pheasant add a delicate, lean contrast to the richness of the venison.
• The “Secret” Gravy: A glossy, reduced red wine and juniper berry sauce that ties the forest flavours together.
• The Pastry: A sturdy, buttery shortcrust base with a flakier puff pastry lid to ensure every mouthful has the perfect crunch-to-filling ratio.

Why Game?

Game meat isn’t just a nod to heritage; it is one of the most sustainable and leanest options available. It’s a flavour profile that demands respect—bold, savoury, and undeniably satisfying. When tucked under a blanket of pastry, these wild flavours mellow and meld into something truly comforting.

Join the Celebration

National Pie Week is the ultimate excuse to indulge in a bit of British culinary excellence. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of game or a curious newcomer looking to expand your palate, our Pheasant and Venison Pie is the perfect introduction.

 pairing this masterpiece with a side of buttery mashed potatoes, seasonal greens, and perhaps a glass of robust Cabernet Sauvignon or a dark local ale.
