Greene King will host its first ever pie festival throughout the month of November at more than 130 of its pubs across the UK. From 1 November onwards until the 30th of the month, customers can sample a wide range of specially created pies at their local pub.
Beef & Ale Pie by Tom Kerridge
One highlight, at selected pubs, will be the British beef & ale pie, created by the team at the two Michelin-starred Hand & Flowers pub in Marlow, owned by chef Tom Kerridge.
This innovative pie features a polenta and hot water pastry crust, with caramelised British beef shin, slowly cooked in IPA gravy.
Further exciting options to try, available across the board, are a Norfolk black chicken & woodland mushroom pie, a pulled lamb shank Shepherds pie and a smoked haddock pie.

The event will be promoted socially with an #ispypie hashtag with customers encouraged to give their verdicts on the pies they have tried.
Anthony Hemmerdinger, managing director of Greene King’s Local Pubs division, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for some wonderful pies to take centre stage at our pubs in November. We are excited about all the pies we have on offer through the festival, but anticipate particular interest in our new British beef and ale pie which definitely has that Tom Kerridge magic.”
