Melton Mowbray Pork Pie - 7 oz

Our Melton Mowbray Style Pork Pies are the perfect comparison. Every Englishman knows that some of the finest pork pies come from the pretty Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray. We’ve based ours on the traditional Melton style, using British seasoning imported from the UK and uncured cuts of peppery pork, encased in a thick hot-water crust pastry with a hand-crimped lid. The pastry is made to a secret recipe passed down through the family from a Yorkshire butcher.

Serving Instructions
Our authentic pork pies are completely cooked and should be traditionally served at room temperature or chilled.  Pies can stay in the refrigerator for up to 3 days once defrosted and can last up to 3 months in the freezer. For best results, defrost in the fridge overnight before consuming.  Do not refreeze once defrosted. 

If you choose to reheat your pie, place on a tray in a preheated oven at 400F for 25-30 minutes from frozen, or 15minues from refrigerated.  Internal temperature should reach at least 165F.  Leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.

Microwaving is discouraged as it can compromise texture - softening the pastry and causing the gelatin to run.

Serving Suggestions
English Pork Pies are traditionally served cold, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them hot. Here are our serving recommendations:
Cold: Serve a cold pie with salad, English mustard, pickles, or HP brown sauce to make a perfect picnic or party snack.
Hot: Serve a hot pie with mushy peas, chips (fries) or baked beans with condiments like HP brown sauce, mustard or chutney.
