Very nice pastry, note the steam holes, usually a good sign of plenty of filling. Nice tasting too. Not a bad pie.

best pie so far this xmas...delicious pastry buttery as the packaging promises and nice and thick, nice round spicy fruity filling - no one flavour dominant..teeny bit more booze wouln\'t hurt but this is only criicism...well worth the extra to upgrade from tescos normal - a pie i would be happy with had i cooked it myself

Quite difficult to come across in my supermarket...they must be going like hotcakes. Looking forward to trying it though.
