The Review

6 deep filled mince pies. Rich shortcrust pastry cases filled with mincemeat.

‘Good, robust pastry, although the lid came off in my hand. However, if, like my wife, you enjoy adding clotted cream inside your mince pie then that is a strong design feature. Taste was a little sugary, which did not match up to the pastry, but, all in all, not a bad entry-level pie.’ – Marco

‘These mince pies look better than they taste. There’s nothing wrong with them, but nothing really right with them either. They are average, average pastry, average filling. They do have one benefit (if you can call it that), the lids come off, so children or indeed childish people can remove all the filling and put the pie back together! Ah, that brings back memories.’ – Paul

‘This pie was okay, it is another one of those run of the mill standard pies. It looked average, tasted alright until I discovered some crunchy bits. Crunchy bits are the enemy of the mince pie tester, the undiscovered evil. If you want complacency try these, if you want a delicious pie try something else.’ – Adam
