Inspired by @crispyduck and his gorgeous looking chicken creation. Here’s a Steak and Broadside (ale) offering from my local. With pint of Adnams Old. Phwoaaar!

Incredibly jealous - a proper pie and a pint is one of life’s greatest pleasures!

Followed by an afternoon nap? 
Hopefully followed by a decent pub pudding - any of crumble/sticky toffee/jam roly-poly will do nicely!

Yup all - billy no-mates today deserted by all and sundry. Treacle Tart and honeycomb ice cream for pud. Definite 20 mins power nap.

Was there much meat on show?
I find so many pies/pasties these days are all pastry with little meat inside.
Know the feeling AC but no worries on that score here - pub made packed with meat and a dark rich Adnams Broadside gravy. If they weren’t there’d be a riot.

I really need to find a good pie recipe!
The intent is there as I bought some puff pastry a couple of weeks ago but haven’t used it yet.
Would be even better if pub had a Naim Muso to play decent music with!
Don’t forget to can be used for both savoury and sweet pies. Only use on top unlike shortcrust pastry. My favourite would be steak and ale with an apple and blackberry with custard for after. 1 pack should do 2 pie toppings enough for 2 or 3 people.

Glad I don’t sleep next to you 
Yes, that was the idea - limit pastry to the top with plenty of meat and gravy underneath.
Not a fan of top’d only pies… should have pastry all round, which is an issue with puff pastry. Mind you, as a student i lived on fray bentos pie in a tin 
Fray Bentos pies are surely not what they were in my youth.
Bought one a few years ago - great anticipation, but felt as though I was eating sloppy dog food.

There’s no hardship in refining your stews!

Am rather partial to a good old fish pie. Puff pastry on top, filling made with monkfish, prawns, cod, plus smoked haddock to add a bit of depth, and leeks etc. Will post a photo next time I make one….
