Pukka Chicken and Mushroom Pie

I don't eat that many pies but Tesco had reduced a pile of Pukka Pies the other day to 75p each so we got a few to freeze for in the week. Today I needed something stodgy to help my stomach forget how much Malibu I drunk last night so got a Chicken And Mushroom one out to get something in my tummy. It was delish and a zillion times better than the manky Fray Bentos Chicken And Mushroom pie I ate last week. It was cooked in about 20 minutes and after about half the time there was a rich smell coming from the oven that made my mouth water and I couldn't wait for it to be done! lol It was worth the wait because this is such a yummy pie that I reckon ...  Read the complete review

Whenever we went to the seaside, we always used to call in the chippy and eat them by the seafront. We always used to have chips, Pukka-Pie and gravy, always. Depending on my mood i'd have chicken and mushroom one time then steak and kidney the other. But my favourite was always chicken and mushroom. I'm quite a funny eater, always have been always will be, although not a funny eater in the sense of i'm picky what I eat, more in the sense of I said my favourite thing till last, say if i'm having sausage egg and chips, i'd save my sausage till last and eat that. So obviously when I was at the seaside i'd save my Pukka-Pie till last and thoroughly enjoy it ...  Read the complete review

A new food ritual has developed in our household. Suddenly, whenever there is a home football match, a specific pie has to be heated and served in preparation for the 'entertainment'. ........and no, it cannot be any sort of pie it has to be an individual Chicken and Mushroom Pie made by Pukka Pies of Leicestershire. Amused by the grand sounding title, I looked up the definition of 'pukka' which turned out to be: " Anglo-Indian in origin, meaning good, first rate of it's kind, genuine or real". Well now I know that at least the stock of boxes stacking up in the freezer are real, and not a figment of my imagination: but should I worry about the ...  Read the complete review

We were at our local supermarket the other day and we were excited to see our favourite Pukka Pies, chicken and mushroom pie. To add on to our excitement, it was going at £1 instead of the usual £1.40. Heaven! My husband love pukka pie, he tells about his younger days when he would get a pukka chicken and mushroom pie on the way home from school for himself and his father. He was glad to see Pukka pie on the supermarket shelf today. Pukka Pies have been around since 1963, started in Leicester and run by one man, Trevor Storer who is now the chairman of the company. The pie is round in shape and sit nicely on a foil tray. The cardboard packaging ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to pies I'm really fussy about what I will eat. Actually I never used to be but since watching Sweeny Todd I have been lol (no lie actually lol). For weeks my Mum has said she's doing pies for dinner and I've been turning my nose up till she specifically got me one of these that was on offer at the time in our local Tesco store for a pound (usually priced about £1.35 each) so I though I should at least try it. The Packaging: Black square, deep box and on the top of it there is a picture of the pie and on that I'm told it is Pukka-Pies 'Our best baked Chicken & Mushroom Pie' and on the bottom of that I'm told it contains ...  Read the complete review
