Meat and Potato Pie - Robinsons of Knaresborough



For our first bit of pie action, I’ve just been down the reliable local and got myself a large meat and tater.


For many a year, this has long been the standby pie of choice, often taken as fuel for long walks, round the river as a picnic bag stuffer or just for a quick and easy tea.




Inside is a no frills affair with the meat and potato separated into two solid layers, not mashed together to disguise its deficiencies. Best of all, there’s no gaping air pockets – it’s quite literally full to the top with meat and tatery goodness.


Surely a pie filled to the brim with this much could be quite stodgy? Far from it - as long as you’re not a right gannet with it and cane it all in one swift go, there’s nothing to substantially weigh you down should you need to skip away quickly.


All in all, a fine pie for pie fans everywhere.


Price - £2.50
