I woke up this morning thinking I wanted a pie, no I need a pie. So I had my shower then got dressed making sure wifey was ok then made my way to Rees the Butchers on Cowbridge Road East for three pies. I have had pies from Rees before but never reviewed one for my blog.
So the plan for today was pie/mash potato and mushy peas a bit of a classic of British cuisine.
First impressions was good the pie looked sturdy and the top was firm. The pie was not the cheapest pie I paid £6.60 for three, yes pricey but not for a pie I have had before and new what I was expecting. Going early meant none of the normal crowds. I could have gone a bit further up the road to the Victoria Park Pie Company saved some money but I wanted a Rees pie.
Warmed the pies up in the oven and as I was expecting to see with the pie made by a butcher the filling was plentiful and it was steak of a good quality. The steak in my pie was nice and chunky with a nice gravy, which was plentiful but not too runny. The pastry was tasty and complemented the rest of the pie beautifully.
I'm relieved that the pie also tastes as good as it looks and I would recommend this pie to any connoisseur of the noble pie.
Pie rating 9.99/10
