The pie is one of the UK’s staple dishes, with its roots dating back to medieval Britain, where the pastry crust was used to preserve the meat within. Now a popular go-to meal, with countless fillings and flavours to be found. One of the most iconic British savoury pies is the pork pie, born in the charming market town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. DukesHill’s famous pork pie is crafted by one of only ten genuine Melton Mowbray producers. As it’s British Pie Week, here’s 3 ways to enjoy a British classic:

Pie and Mash

A traditional dish originating from the docks of London, popularised as the ‘Cockney Classic’. Pie and mash became a staple of working-class families during WWII, supplementing family rations. Pair a Braised Steak & Ale Pie with a side of Truffle & Parmesan Mashed Potato. Serve with parsley sauce for the complete Cockney experience.

Vibrant Salads for a Healthy Kick

Fancy our Bacon, Cheese & Potato Pie for lunch or dinner? Brighten up your plate with some colourful greens to balance the savoury flavours of the pie. A balsamic vinegar, olive oil or Caesar dressing can complement the salad with a zingy twist. Keep it light and healthy, a great substitute for mash.

The Feast

Salad not your thing? Fancy a proper full hearty meal? Pair our Chicken & Ham or Lancashire Cheese & Onion Pies with chunky chips, pickled onions, Yorkshire pudding, Lincolnshire Sausages and gravy for an indulgent feast, fit for a king. You can always add green beans for some visual pop, but what’s not already appealing?

At Dukeshill, we take great pride in crafting our pies with the finest ingredients and traditional methods, ensuring that every bite honours the rich history of this iconic dish. So, whether you’re reminiscing about classic meals or discovering new combinations, our range of pies promises to bring a taste of British heritage to your table.
