Fray Bentos Steak & Gravy Pie 425g

Excellent quality and very tasty and great value for money

Tasty at a great price.

Back in the 1980s I remember my well-to-do school friend who lived near the River Thames used to have these pies.They looked so posh, in their colourful tins....Years later in the late 90s I got my first house and also bought my first Fray Bentos pie! It was vile!!Fast forward 25 years and I thought it might be worth another try! Ordered on on here for me and the missus.Now, I have ordered many things on Amazon over the years, but never a pie 🥧.....I had pretty low expectations, had heard they are all gravy and hardly any meat. As my missus is from the Lake District I have recently embraced the Northern staple of chips and gravy however, so I was unperturbed!So, lid off, in the oven for 30 minutes. My pie didn't really "rise" like the picture, bit once cooked I flipped it upside down and emptied it on the plate so the pastry was at the bottom.Fair bit of meat, not loads but more than I thought. Lots of gravy. Added some fries on top and you know what, it was a cheap tasty meal!Not ground breaking but not as bad as you may be led to expect.

Good product fast delivery will buy off you again thanks 😊

I love the taste of these pies. But the only problem I've found with them is that the pastry doesn't cook right through, which leaves a layer of uncooked pastry under the top layer of crispy pastry. I'm not sure how to overcome this issue, but I think next time I cook one I'll try taking the pastry off the top and cooking it separately. Unless anyone has a better idea about what to do.

Handy standby to have with veg for convenience for one fits in air fryer convenience meal

All good thanks

All gravy and pastry no meat and if there was any it'd be a tiny hit here and there so won't be buying again In a hurry
