A nice small pie, with lovely holly leaf design.

A pleasant pie, despite being so small. Filling was a little too sweet.

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"Another very average pie. It looked small but that’s probably just cos we've had a few above average sized pies recently."
"A very standard pie."
"Technically good - let down by size!"
"The tiny pie shop? Liked the pastry, and filling was a little tart, a nice pie but needed to be bigger"
"I quite liked the pastry on first bite but found it a bit drying after a few more.  Nice filling though."

these are the best mince pies I have ever tasted and I have been around 71 Christmas's. The crust is perfect, the filling not full of chunky peel and excellent value for money. I give them 5 out of 5.
