So lets get your suggestions in here.
heres some to get you started, all in Wigan naturally.
Baldy's Pies does sound pretty amazing.
, scooping two prizes at the National Pie Awards last year, one for their Chicken Kiev pie and another for their ‘Mexican‘ with steak mince and brisket
Nice to see Baldy's get a mention on here.
They are bloody amazing pies.
Did my bit with a posh veg & feta pie from Lidl for lunch today though.
Tonight’s delights
Beautifully presented to show them off at their best.

Proper local pub and an amazing staple pie!

That is the absolute optimium post-ride tea.
Extra points for leaving veg as an option on a separate dish that can be ignored.
Looks bloody lovely! But what's a 'staple pie'?
Were all thinking it.
Where is Binners...

One you can eat everyday, as in "part of your staple diet" 🙂
Where is Binners…
trotters deep in a cissy greens I shouldn't wonder.
Hi! 😃
The Royal Oak in Pateley Bridge.

A top notch boozer. They do a cracking Sunday roast too!
We’ve just controversially had a Monday roast, but I shall be fully embracing Pie Week tomorrow by cooking a ham, bacon and leek pie.
Cissy Greens will most definitely be featuring this week

Chicken
KievKyiv pie.
Great! Another random week but now with added excuse for mash and pie? Will take any excuse because now tomorrow I’m going to smash a Higgidy cauli cheese and broccoli pie into my gob. Worth it for the crumb topping and crust alone, but doing so releases those first swirling scents of cheddar, red leicester & stilton sauce oh… 🤤
Yes. With mash, peas, carrots and gravy. Great joy. Indebted to STW once again.

Because no ones faith is greater than a love of pie!
I made Homity pie tonight.
Lush it was.
Any calender alignment to pie week is purely coincidental.
My car is celebrating.
(Technically it was in in 2019, but hey)
A trip to Weegmans in Otley is required then
Chapeau Cougar 🙂
APF
Tonight I shall be christening my new book that Mrs Binners got me for my birthday

After a good mosey through it, I'm going for this one

Got beef, mushrooms, an onion and a the contents of a can of Guinness bubbling away in the slow cooker, that'll be the filling for tomorrow's pie 👍
I started doing my pie filling this afternoon - beef, shallots and chestnut mushrooms in red wine, but I’ve decided to slow cook it all day tomorrow instead of having it tonight

Aroused.
Pie update:
After slow cooking the filling all day yesterday, lots of Stilton on top

It was bloody lovely
Hows pie week going for everyone else then?
****ing hell YES.
Epic piedom from Binners.
Did ours last night with chips.
The Higgidy pie was on offer (bonus) but wound up foregoing the baby carrots and other veg as discovered last minute Mrs P had given them away to a neighbour. Bad planning.
So before another total beige triumph ensued (pie + chips) I managed to get some frozen pease nuked and on the plate. Pie chips and peas is about perfect. But looking at Binner's plate I now realise that of course ‘actually perfect’ includes more gravy.
Nonetheless, thanks pie week. Sated*
*Now wants to be sated again argh.
Looking good
A new career in the offing perchance??
Excellent work Binners.
Last night we had chicken,sausage and leek pie* with mashed tatties and peas.
*full pastry,not a stupid casserole with a pastry lid 😉
My effort:
If there seems to be a lot of filling everywhere in the second pic it's partly due to spillage during serving, and also my daughter picked out the mushrooms from her serving and left them in the dish so someone else could eat them 🙄
Served with mash and gravy. Should have added peas but didn't think of that until too late.
Good work fella!
Are we allowed to include pasties and other pastry-based goodies?
Full fat Friday tomorrow and the bakery down the road do awesome chilli beef pasties and chorizo sausage rolls 😃

Where's that then?
not cooked a pie, but i have spoiled myself and have eaten 3 x pork pies this week.
1 on each of my bike rides. the simple pleasure of a cold pork pie eaten mid ride is just perfect IMHO.
Disappointing that this advert for national pie week features two potato/cheese topped "pies" which in my book isn't a pie. A pie has a pastry top, sides and bottom.
What say you?

Great work Mogrim & Binners.
Binners - you need to get over to Wigan and and sample Baldy's wares.

We've done this many times over the years. It's quite simple.
I 100% agree with you that a pie should be self-contained. A slice from a huge pie as a serving is fine, a stew with a hat is not. There have been STW wars over this.
However, what you have there is a Cottage Pie (or a Shepherd's Pie). Cottage Pie is the full name of the dish, it is no more a pie any more than it contains cottages (or shepherds). See also, Beef Wellington.
It is, however, a poor choice for the advert. On that we are agreed also.
Mogrim's pie looks good! Unfortunately my better half has gone vegetarian (I was close to following at one point too) and doesn't make me pies like that any more. She did buy me a stake pie from a farm shop though. I'd give it 7.3/10. Served with mash, gravy, carrots, cavalo nero kale. I'm not sure how many the pie was supposed to serve, but it was probably meant to serve more than just one.
This was my effort.
Bonus point for the Tesco heartburn medicine in the background.
A worthy winner?

The kangaroo, ale & Tazzie pepperberry pie didn't win but sounds great!!
I don't like kangaroo ale, it's too hoppy.
Made up some onion and mustard gravy, chips and peas for the second and final pie sating. 😋
Ive been struggling to find a chicken pie, with no bacon in, as Im semi-vegetarian, but recently found Bells Chicken and mushroom, and Iceland Chicken Kiev pies. Both are very tasty and have good chunks of chicken, not just gravy.

Accept no substitutes, deliverys available 😉
What the hell have you done to the poor thing?
Chicken pie you say? I tried one this weekend - bag of sliced leeks, bag of chopped white onion, floret of broccoli (is it called that?) Box of button mushrooms...4 chicken breasts and a jar of lasagna white sauce (I'm failing with my attempts at sauces) and a pack of Bells puff pastry pre-rolled (I'm also failing with pastry).
Put broccoli and leeks in a pan and heat and then let boil for same length of time the chicken breasts take to cook.
Cook mushrooms and onions.
Once all is done, slice chicken breasts and put everything in a pot and mix it up - add some mixed herbs and a bit of garlic salt. Pour a 3rd of the sauce in an ovenproof dish and rest in with the cooked food and mix well then empty into oven dish and mix well. Add pastry and brush milk over top, bung in oven for 30 mins on 180c.
Turned out to be very tasty...although I think I'd have preferred a chicken stock/thick gravy type sauce but it was very tasty.
No doubt a poor attempt compared to everything else but it was asked for seconds and we've horsed the serves 4 in 1 sitting.
Plenty chicken in it and the veg all seemed to work as well. So about 25 mins prep and 30 mins cook, not the quickest but dead easy.

The best ‘stock’ to use for any form of chicken-based pie, by miles!
Another one of my old favourite recipes.
Chicken thighs (holds miles more flavour than breasts and doesn’t dry out), a thick gammon steak cut into chunks, leeks, onions, chestnut mushrooms, all fried in butter, then all mixed up with a can of this stuff, a bit of water, mixed herbs and plenty of black pepper.
Slow cook the filling for an afternoon (until the chicken thighs fall apart when you stir it), encase in pastry and Bobs your aunties live-in-lover
You’re welcome 😃
Well pie week inspired me to make chicken and veg pie for tea followed by apple pie. My pastry making skills are never the best and apple pie ended up as four small ones as the sweetened pastry wouldn't roll in one piece.
Still tahsted good, better than it looks, but two batches of pastry in one afternoon was probably over ambitious.
Mr Kipling's workers must earn their money.

Edit: cheers for the sauce tip @Binners. Mine just used powdered stock, lemon and thyme. Didn't use leeks this time as there was chard in the garden so first home grown veg of the year.
Is this Pie Week because tomorrow (14th March) is Pie Day? Only in America, though (and nothing to do with Don McLean)
floret of broccoli (is it called that?)
It's a 'head' I think. A floret would be a piece of it.
a pack of Bells puff pastry pre-rolled (I’m also failing with pastry).
No-one makes their own puff pastry, I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.

Looks like you've just emptied the lawnmower over it. 🤢
