You lost me at the word ‘Artisan’. Are pies the latest thing to be colonised by middle class hipster strokers then?
When i’m running the world (the day will soon be upon us comrades!), anyone using the word ‘Artisan’ or ‘Craft’ in front of the words pies, beer or bread will be paraded naked through the streets and everyone will be able to slap them with wet fish!
i know a thing or two about pies, and any guide that doesn’t mention the decidedly un-Artisan cow pie at the George in Keswick is clearly written by someone who knows nowt on the subject
Just leave it Fidel. He's not worth it. 😉

Line caught, wild organic fish obviously.
A proper pie....
There's too much veg on them plates....
Percy Turners pork pies from Jump are amongst the best.

They have been for quite some time now, some even come with a base.

A perfectly executed reverse sponge poke with a twist there. The judges will mark that highly.
It does seem tough for the fussy eaters of STW, allergic to artisan, intolerant to wood and all that 😉
I love pies. Currently dribbling.
Too much veg on the plates? It’s a ‘garnish’, silly. You know.... to add a bit of colour. You’re not actually meant to eat it 🙂
Tracey, sorry but I feel you ladies may have been duped - those aren't pies.
Also, that article doesn't mention Scarborough Taps in Leeds - a veritable mecca of pie.
I'm now quite hungry and feel the need to compare some of these to my local pie shop's pies...
From Ben’s Kitchen, Gloucestershire
Ben Sibbald’s chicken, leek and parmesan pie won two gongs at the 2017 British Pie Awards. Find him at Tetbury (Wed) and Cirencester (Fri) farmers’ markets. £5
That's Friday's lunch sorted then.
I would always prefer a top and bottom to a pie however beggars cant be choosers and at the end of a bike ride its better than nuts or crisps
Im just going to leave this here

Recently gave up my 50 yr life of pie owing to a number fo reasons. But, briefly, pies I have loved and loathed:
Loved:
1. The Melton Mowbray. Proper crispy yet greasy crust , smooth, shiny and hard underneath, filled with grey delicately seasoned pork, sandwiched between the crust with a nice layer of jibbly jelly and that white stuff.
2. The Fleur De Lys chip-shop steak and kidney pie. Since replaced with the Pukka Pie
Loathed:
The Mad O Rourkes 'Cow Pie'. Basically a mixing-bowl full of boiled Sunday dinner replete with veg, chunks of cow, whole boiled potatoes etc, drowning in some kind of thin gravy and topped with a thick piece of puff pastry that had comedy pastry 'horns' on top. Delivered as a 'challenge' back in the day when Black Country pubs latched on to a US trend of attracting customers to eat ludicrous amounts of badly cooked cheap food in return for Certificate Of Achievement that had been printed moments before on a Lexmark in the back room. I literally exploded within the half hour, evacuated, then was sick for a day and probably deserved it 🤢
Keswick for cow pie at George hotel
Peebles for Lasagne pie at Forsythes butcher
Fort William baker (canny remember it's name) for Steak n Haggis pie
Nowhere, ever for one of those English pork pies, bloody mingin', should only be used as a wedge doorstop, or in it's whole form for curling.
Sorry Binners, anyone who has their phone out on the table in the pub is first against the wall. Artisan comes later
Steak n Haggis pie
Mmm, come to Poppa.
This thread is not helping my keto diet efforts. I need someone to invent a pork pie with zero carbs and 100g of fat.
Pie only written to 5 places?
Seems wrong.
Check out my local www.thehandmadepieandalehouse.com/gallery/
The Pie shop in Lochinver never even got a mention! Pie's of formidable quality to be relished after a day exploring Suilven.
Yep, any mention of fantastic pies WITHOUT reference to the Lochinver Larder is deeply flawed.
I should also add Humble Pie in Whitby to that list!
Tracey is absolutely right,Percy Turners are the best pork pie I've ever eaten,to watch people queueing down the street when a fresh batch come out of the oven,in an ex-mining village near Barnsley,restores my faith in Yorkshjre gastronomy
There is only one place in the world worth going to for a pie. The lochinver larder they even do them mail order. The best pies ever inthe whole world. None of your stupid casseroles with hats. NOne of that let down you feel when its all crust and no filling. simply the best pies ever anywhere
There is only one place in the world worth going to for a pie.
Away n don't talk dung TJ!
There is only one place in the world worth going to for a pie. T
Wrong. Fool. Continue talking like that and you'd better wear a helmet...
ordinary even good pies are available widely - no need to travel for them. Lochinver larder pies are something very specialand uniquie. the best pies in the world. anyone who thinks otherwise has never had a lochinver larder pie.
You can have a three course meal there each course being a delicious pie! Its pie heaven with pie Valhalla rolled in.!
Its pie heaven with pie Valhalla rolled in.!
Sounds like the best reality tv ever
If you are in an 'eatery' you are not in pie shop
If your pie has anywhere about it, or the premises it is being served from, any mention of it's provenance or method of manufacture you are not in a pie shop
If your pie contains anything remotely connected or associated with any health or wellbeing benefits you are not in a pie shop
If the business in question has any form of web presence or mail order offering, you are not in a pie shop
If hot beverages are available and are served in anything other than a styrofoam cups you are not in a pie shop.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Unless youre being served by an overweight old lady in a blue and white checked coat in what appears to be her living room, with a counter and fluoro star shaped hand written "specials" that have not changed since you were in short trousers. You are not in a pie shop.</span>
If you get in there at 1:10pm and theyvth got anything left other than cheese and onion. You are not in a pie shop.
Leslie's of Ulverston is a pie shop
Greens of barreh is a pie shop
Pies available from places that are not pie shops may be edible but a proper pie shop pie is at the very core of our culture and a special and beautiful thing. Don't **** with it Tarquin.
Your Mum.
Polonium pie - by mail order from VV Putin's deli in Moscow.
Have one and then you die.
Thestabiliser - viva el presidente!!!!
When do we start the fight back comrade?!!!
Sweeney and Todd's pie shop is amazing. Unfortunately it is in Reading - makes a work trip there survivable.
At once. Soon these bourgois pigs will be nothing more than growlers!
This says all you need to know about pies
+1 for Sweeney's Pie shop - fortunately it's in Reading. Meeting people this weekend for pie heaven.
Continue talking like that and you’d better wear a helmet…
TO be fair, those pies look as if they would make a pretty good helmet - but the fundamental flaw with them is that the pastry is suitable for vegetarians - I am a broad minded chap and don't mind vegetarians being catered for - but I don't see why all their customers should suffer sub-optimal pastry.
