New seasonal menu from Great North Pie Co

The seasonal menu, available from now until October, features four butter-pastry pies stuffed to the brim with beautiful flavoured local produce, in a range of classic flavour combinations. This season’s menu features an Indian-inspired vegetarian pie, alongside classic flavours like beef and ale, a new roast chicken special, plus the Lancashire cheese and onion pie which made the brand famous.

The pies on the menu now include:

• Daal Gobi (V): The lovingly-crafted Daal Gobi features spiced urad daal lentils, marinated and roasted cauliflower, ginger, garlic, turmeric, deggi chilli, mustard seed, cardamon, clove, cinnamon and coriander.
• 14-Hour Braised Beef & Ale: For a delicious meat pie, the choice is clear with a 14-Hour Braised Beef, filled with Yorkshire grass-fed beef, Manchester Union Lager, and roasted carrot and celery, redcurrant jelly and Worcestershire sauce.
• Roast Chicken: Featuring crispy skinned, slowly roasted chicken, roasted onions and garlic, and topped off with white sauce, lemon and poppy seeds.
• Classic Lancashire Cheese & Onion (V): Great North Pie Co’s staple Lancashire Cheese & Onion pie, encompassing Dewlay’s tasty Lancashire Cheese, caramelised white onion, white pepper, nutmeg and Japanese breadcrumbs.

All Great North Pie Co’s pies are made using its perfected butter-pastry recipe, making each and every pie crisp and light and truly delectable, and using the best quality ingredients from North West producers.

The team prides itself on using local ingredients to create their traditionally Northern pies with all-butter pastry and seasonal fillings. The menu is rotated every four months, but the original, and now signature, Lancashire Cheese & Onion pie is available all year round.

The brand’s other signature pies include the Corned Beef and Potato, a take on the classic meat and potato; and the Keema Pie, a take on classic beef mince, influenced by the founder’s foodie experiences over the years.

Having previously been voted Best Pie In Britain, alongside winning nine other categories at the British Pie Awards, Great North Pie Co’s pies are now available for home delivery in boxes of four for £18 or eight for £34. Every pie is baked fresh to order and delivered by courier in chilled packaging, with a shelf life of four days.

The pies can be frozen and will then need to be defrosted thoroughly before cooking. Those local to the bakery in Wilmslow, are able to order online and collect straight from the producer.
