What a lovely pie, we all seemed to enjoy it. The best pie of the season so far!

It was baked specially for the Mince Pie Club, and delivered by courier. 

The only down site seems to be that it was not big enough!

They can be ordered from the Bettys web site here

Lovely looking pie with a star on top.
Filling good, but a little too sweet perhaps?
All in all a very good pie from Bettys

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Fantastic filling, one of the nicest I've ever tasted. The crust was decent, and in general a nice home-made feel to the pie. It's just a shame it wasn't a bit bigger."
"The most home made tasting pie yet"
"Very disappointing pastry which was bland and too crunchy. Delicious filling though. Also needs to be much bigger, especially for that price!"
"Would prefer a covered pie."
"A small pie but with a lot of filling, nice, but is it worth the price?"
"No prizes!  I did think that the pastry, while probably technically very good(short) wasn't entirely to my liking. Bit on the hard side for me. Filling was lovely though."
"Excellent filling + presentation Could be a little larger!"
