Laverstoke Park Farm Buffalo and Peppercorn Pie

As we were staying in for a Saturday, I pushed the boat out and wanted to try one of Laverstoke Park farm pies. They are £10.99 so a bit extravagant but we are staying in. There is a huge variety to choose from – I decided on the Buffalo and peppercorn. Words will never be able to explain how amazing this pie is and well worth the price. The peppercorns are strong, flavorsome and a hidden treat, the meat is incredibly soft and just perfect.
We do plan on trying the lamb and mince in a few weeks – but I just don’t see how there could be an improvement and I think this may just be a firm favourite in the tiny little flat going forward.
The man served this with homemade fries, cabbage, broccoli and a special gravy – he pan fired some garlic, onions and mushrooms and then stirred this through some bistro gravy (prepared as per directions) it’s a cheats gravy but it is Saturday night after all and with the added extras it tasted absolutely perfect!

Bisto gravy - with added pan fried garlic, onion and mushrooms!

Sunday Night we plan on giving the roast a break and doing good old english bangers and mash!

A Good Old London Chicken Curry Pie At The Pub

I know our trip to Australia is only 3 weeks away, but after a really long day at work The Man suggested dinner at the pub, we are both working later and getting back home late due to forward planning for being off work for 3 weeks – how could I say no to one of my favourite dinners – a good old English Pie with mash potatoes and vegetables. I reconciled in my own mind that if I didn’t drink any alcohol then I was allowed this treat.
On the specials was a a curried chicken and vegetable version – it was absolutely lovely. The only thing I would suggest to improve it, you may remember from a few weeks ago we also went for pie at a different restaurant, the previous place is our favourite place for pie as it is served with gravy in individual pots. This would have been the only thing I would add to give it 5 stars.

The Man had his with chips

Tonight I am all on my own while the man goes out to play pool – Coronation Street, Eastenders, Coronation followed by the UK Bachelor served with pasta spirals, chorizo, chilli and broccoli – a quick, easy and incredibly tasty Friday night meal (photos will follow)
