Me and my husband have tried many pies in our time.
We even go to pub pie nights we love pies that much!
But after a recent delivery from Ocado! We will never eat another pie again,
Yours are so delicious, meaty and full of flavour.
My husband hates Stilton.
But your steak and Stilton went down a treat and I was gob smacked!!
Thank you so much for a gorgeous meal!

My partner went to Sainsbury’s last night. Did I want anything he asked. Pie I replied. Sweet? Savoury? It didn’t matter, I had had a bad day at work and I wanted pie.

He returned with 2 Higgidy Beef, Stilton & Ale pies. I had never tried a Higgidy pie before but boy, oh boy was it good. I’m not in the habit of emailing pie manufacturers – or any manufacturers for that matter – however I felt moved to tell you how truly splendid the pie was!

You saved my day, thank you.

Hi there

We have fallen in love with all things Higgidy. We have recently converted to your beef, stilton and ale pie which as a non pie eater i find totally delicious. However our first love is the balsamic onion and cheese quiche. The only problem is our local sainsburys and waitrose never seem to have it in stock, not even a label to say that its been there. so we were wondering, is there a supply issue at the moment with this particular quiche? i have been able to purchase some of the mini versions from waitrose online today. It would be great if you could let me know when they are going to be available.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there – we just wanted you to know that we met you at Birmingham and, having already eaten your higgidy pies from Sainsbury’s beforehand, we are now even more than ever hooked. We absolutely love your products – they are amazing. We don’t need a reply, I just had to let you know. Down to the textured toppings, the generous fillings and yummy pastry, everything. Well done for the most innovative and trustworthy products.

Hi, had to let you know. I tried my first Beef, Stilton and Ale Pie today. WOW!! I can honestly say I have not enjoyed anything this much for a long time. I had expected the stilton to overpower everything else but, no, every individual flavour came through. Well done to all involved.

Thanks for giving me so much pleasure.

Hi,
I have to tell you that the Beef Stilton and Ale Pie that I served for dinner this evening was delicious! It went down so well that I ended up cooking the chicken pot pie I was going to serve for my parents when they visit this week! There were some leftovers, which I have just had as a midnight snack and they were almost as good as when originally cooked! I just had to write to commend you on making such delicious pies, the love and attention that goes into crafting such amazing pies is evident in every bite!

Thanks again!

I’ve become a huge fan of your pies lately. I get them at the Haywards Heath Sainsburys. I love cooking but sometimes I’m just too knackered and frankly they’re the only things there that don’t smell of whatever it is they stick in all their other ready-meal products. They’re a real treat warm in my packed lunch at the nursery too. They only sell the chicken and ham and the feta and pine nut as far as I can see but both are excellent. Nice to see it’s a local firm too – I grew up in Southwick.

Higgidy pies are the best. I especially like your beef pie and feta and pine nut. I can taste that you go further than any of the other brands to make your food extra special. I can tell you that it is so refreshing to find something so special on my supermarket shelves. Well done!

Chris S. said:

Your Beef Stilton and Ale pie.. superb. It’s so good I’m still eating now and had to grab my computer to say so.

What a pie.. rough cheesy mash, decent short crunchy pastry and a filling with more flavour than a family gathering of the Flavour clan. The beef was melt in the mouth, the Stilton gave a creamy twang and there was a mellow backdrop of ale in the gravy. I had to read the ingredients to see where the wholegrain mustard was coming from.. the mash.. a great touch.

So.. I’ve finished now, have managed to get a bit of gravy onto my tablet screen but nonetheless.. I haven’t enjoyed a shop-bought pie this much probably.. ever. I shall certainly be trying others.

Anne D. said:

We love pastry in our house – pies, quiches, you name it – but many we have tried are so spicy with pepper, mustard, coriander etc. that it is impossible to taste the main ingredients. We were delighted to find Higgidy as we can actually taste what we are eating! Also your Little Quiches are perfect for smaller appetites. Delicious – keep it up!

Hi,
Your beef & ale pie is one the best i have ever had, i have had two now from Morrisons.
They are not cheap to buy but it`s worth paying the extra to get a pie with plenty of good quility meat.
I see you make other types of pies i will keep a look out for these.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi there,

as a student, I dont really have the money to spend on luxury food items, but on a recent romantic night in with my girlfriend of four years, I bought two of your steak and stilton cheese pies. I have to say that I absolutely loved them, as did my other half. We were impressed with the beautiful flavour and how the top of the pastry crisped perfectly, yet the outside didn’t dry out. I never really bother writing to companies as they tend to not really bother replying, but I was further impressed when I saw the scale that your company is. The product you have produced is top quality and I think it is a fantastic achievement. Anyhow, I was wondering if there was any chance (in the slightest!) that you could send me some vouchers to enjoy your pies on a more regular basis? Thanks a lot, Dom

This is an absolute favourite of ours. We recently tried some pies by ‘someone else’ that look a bit like Higgidy. Never again….
We have tried several of the other pies and quiches in the Higgidy range, all lovely but this is our favourite. It has real meat in eat and you can tell it is unlike some who put a brown mushy substance in their pies which is supposed to be meat. We know what the real thing looks like because I do make my own but don’t always have time or feel like it. Higgidy are the only pies I will buy.

I bought this pie from my local Budgen in Holbeach, Lincolnshire and was a little dubious as I don’t like fat or gristle, and most commercial pies have dodgy reclaimed meat. However, I liked the packaging and thought I’d risk it for my tea (you’d say supper in Shoreham). I was very pleasantly surprised at how beautifully home-made it was. Totally lean steak, beautifully tender; a very pleasant eating experience. I shall buy more. . . ! (Pity about the typo on the packaging: Bristish!)

Hi Higgidy,
My partner and I bought one of your quiches a few weeks ago/maybe a month (something and Stilton) and it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, so very yummy! We keep going back to the supermarket and each time it is not there, not even a label for where it should be. I also don’t see it on your website…Has this been discontinued? My partner will be heartbroken :(

Hi I just wanted you to know that I had your Moroccan vegatable and feta Pie and i loved it. I have trouble finding nice veg pies and I finally found one that tastes fab. I hope it will continue to be on the supermarket shelfs and will not disappear.

Since browsing your site I see you also do a butternut squash & a Sausauge & Mash pie which I did not see on our Sainsbury shelf but will have to double check next time and see if my my partner can check in Waitrose. I hope you will continue to stock these 3 pies so we can have the pleasure of their good taste, and if they are limited editions they shouldn’t be. Also I was wondering whether you maybe able to come up with a fish pie (but without the prawns)?Glad to have found you, keep up the good work,

Kind Regards Harjit (a new cutomer).

We absolutely love this pie. We have had it twice now. Tonight with cauliflower cheese and carrots. No pots as it’s already topped with pots. The pie is very filling.

I was introduced to your pies buy one of your workers actually (I live with Alberto) and that day was one of the best of life! Look up “perfect” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of a Higgidy pie! I don’t know what’s better, your fillings or your crust! I have never been a crust person. Heck, I even buy crustless bread! But I can’t get enough of your crust! It’s hard to say which pie is my favourite but I suppose if I was forced to choose it’s your Spinach, Feta & Toasted Pine Nuts. Beautiful. I just ate one actually, and a Mediterranean tarte (yum). No wait, I amost forgot about your chicken, leek & ham. Wow! My favourite pie overall will always be a steak & ale and I just checked your website and see you have one! I can’t wait to try it! There’s so many I have yet to try! Despite buying (at least) one everytime I go shopping (It’s the crust on the feta/spinach one, too irresistable). Thanks to Alberto I’ve become a regular Higgidy pie eater. I don’t know what my tummy would do without your pies! Thanks for sharing the most amazing pies to ever be produced not only in this fine country, but the world! As we say in Canada – “You guys ROCK!” -Much Love, Marina
