The beauty of the British pie is its regional diversity. From the classic Steak Pie of the north to the Cornish Pasty of the southwest, each region has its own take on this beloved dish. Scotland boasts the iconic Scotch pie, filled with minced mutton or beef. The Pork Pie, from our neck of the woods of course! In Wales, the “Cawl Pie” features a hearty stew of lamb, vegetables, and herbs. Let’s not forget the regional variations in pastry – buttery puff pastry, crumbly shortcrust, or even a suet crust, each adding a unique texture to the experience. An honourable mention to the potato topped Shepherd’s and Cottage pie also!
We could talk of sweet pies, although it’s not the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of British Pies… It’s usually a savoury number!
Regardless, British Pie Week is all about shining a spotlight on the best pies across the country and celebrating Britain’s ultimate comfort food.
For British Pie Week 2026, we asked our Development Chef, Darren to create some of his favourite pies for us, using his favourite pieces of equipment in our Culinary Centre.
