Meat the Gossip - our Newsletter
It was very disappointing this week to hear that our supplier of Pork Pies and Scotch Eggs has ceased trading. They are the first of our suppliers to stop this year, but I fear that they won’t be the last. Gessica has already got a pie producer lined up, but we have to check out the quality and think about logistics.
On a more positive note, we have some very good pie makers at our disposal. Without question, Chris Brumby at ‘My Pie’ is producing possibly the best hot meat pies in London. Chris is an Aussie who came to London as a Chef. I got to know Chris many years ago, when I was supplying a restaurant where he was working as Head Chef. On leaving the restaurant, and after a couple false starts, and some serious dedication, he has now developed My Pie into a hugely successful business. The individual size pies are a good portion and always full of delicious fillings in a soft pastry crust. At Meat London, we are slowly gathering a supportive customer base for the pies, and we have seen a steady increase in sales through the winter. Either on their own or with a healthy helping of mash and gravy, this is a pie that I would suggest you, our customer, should be trying out. As the first week of March is National Pie Week, our Deli Team have conjured up a super price promotion to add to the fun. What’s not to like!
