We can compare this with the M&S Original Recipe from last year which scored 60.9%, so it's an improvement.
We felt that the pie was most improved in the Aroma and Filling quality.
We were disappointed by the Quantity of the filling.

Reviewers Comments and Guessed Origin
"A fine full bodied pie. Shame it was not full to the top with filling though. Filling a little sweet too. Sainsbury's taste the difference?"
"Very ordinary."
"A decent pie, nice to see a bit of fruit in the filling. Waitrose?"
"Sainsbury taste the difference"
"Collapsed whilst eating, guess from a smaller chain store?"
"A no nonsense pie..no embellishments. I liked the flavour of the filling but it wasn't a deep fill"
