A Pie Thing

A good meat pie is difficult to track in our city, and the young team behind A Pie Thing is attempting to change that. Shortcrust pastry holds fillings like pulled lamb, chicken and cheese, and spinach, and is served with mushy peas, potatoes and gravy. While the pastry is appropriately yielding and firm, it’s laid out too thickly and falls short on buttery flavour. The sweet pies suffer similar fates, but are quickly compensated by never-fail fillings like banana-peanut butter and Nutella-s’mores.
