Melton Mowbray Pork Pie - Large 1lb

Every Englishman knows that the finest pork pies come from the pretty Leicestershire town of Melton Mowbray. We’ve based ours on the age-old Melton recipe. It’s handcrafted with uncured cuts of traditionally seasoned, peppery British pork, encased in a thick, hot-water crust pastry. The pastry is made to a secret recipe, passed down through the family from a Yorkshire butcher. Pork pies are at their best eaten cold or at room temperature, but don’t be afraid to warm through. 

Cooking Instructions

Our authentic pork pies are completely cooked and should be traditionally served at room temperature or chilled. Our pork pies can stay in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and can last up to 3 months if frozen. For best results, defrost in the fridge and enjoy at room temperature. If you would like to eat your pork pie warm, follow the following reheating instructions. These are guidelines, every oven is different so please check periodically.

Reheating Frozen Pies
Preheat oven to 400ºF, and bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until the pie is warm throughout.
Reheating Refrigerated Pies
Preheat oven to 400ºF, and bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until the pie is warm throughout.
Microwaving Refrigerated Pies
Microwave 1lb. pies on HIGH for 2 minutes.
The best way to heat an English Pork Pie is to reheat it in an oven. A microwaved pie has a tendency to become chewy and the pastry loses its flakiness and crispiness. Please be aware that the gelatin in our pies may liquify once it's heated. All ovens are not created equal, so you may need to adjust the recommended heating times accordingly.

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.
