See you there.


	This is some of the unsolicited feedback we’ve had emailed to us so far and which have made us smile. No brown envelopes have changed hands!

...what staggering pies. Just gorgeous. Ate one while standing on my doorstep having taken delivery. And two more within an hour. God, they're good.

...we cooked some at the weekend. Major success! Your pies are awesome! I mean fabulously so! We're trying to save the rest for New Year, but I'm already fending off complaints that I should have brought more.

J. Nicholl (Moscow)

It was a pleasure to meet you both on Friday evening at The Greengrocers - and I was delighted to try your delicious pies, they really are the best I have ever tasted...

...you deserve all the accolades if only for helping people re-discover the delights of real food made with the best ingredients (rather than mass produced rubbish).

H. Sayer (Norwich)

Our pork pies arrived yesterday as promised, and we had our first couple last night. I have to tell you that we were stunned! The flavour and quality were the best we have ever, ever tasted.

Also you're right, the aroma when the pies are being basted and cooked is salivatingly fabulous.

It's quite hard not to rip the oven door off and just grab them.

As I have always been a pork pie addict, up to now I've always said the best available was from XXXX in XXXX,* but let me tell you, yours beats them into a cocked hat.

Many thanks. May your enterprise flourish! We'll be back.

I live in Norfolk and have (on more than one occasion) purchased one of your rather delightful pork pies. Now I actually spend most of my time working and living in Kazakhstan.

I was talking the other evening with a bunch of ex-pat colleagues and the conversation turned to food etc. My background is catering and baking and I have a good deal of interest and experience in pie making on a commercial level.

So I offered to make some piggy pies for a get together one evening. The conversation continued and one gent, who is from Norwich, said it would be hard to match the pie from 'The Perfect Pie' as this was now considered to be the benchmark in his eyes.

I obviously have a lot of hard work to do..

It's wet and cold here in London.

I NEED PORK PIES IMMEDIATELY TO CHEER ME UP!

I am the famous Simon Scott as featured on your website wanting to rip open my oven doors whilst your pies are cooking.

Please send 6 frozen to arrive Friday if possible.

Let me know you get this OK and have not all been drowned over the holiday weekend.

I think I've decided which I prefer. I'll eat them fridge-cold if I come in starving, room temperature if I've time to take them out of the fridge, and hot if I have time to pop them in the Aga for half an hour first.

We keep a few pigs ourselves for home consumption, but have never made pies. We tend to use them as suckling pigs mostly, plus the usual array of extras from sausages to bacon, cotechino to pancetta, brawn to boiled ham, and a surprisingly successful (well it was a surprise to me) air-dried ham. Pies, though, we shall happily leave to you.

Dear Nell/Sarah

Yep, they were just dandy, were them pies. Spot on. I asked my landlady to write out the cheque, and so you posted them off to her (Vera Waters; I live at the same address). She got a free pie for her efforts. We ate them over a glass of Porter, and I'm bound to say that Coren was right. Today the UK, tomorrow the world! I predict they will become the giant hogweed of the pie world. Soon, soon Hollywood will know about them pies. I reckon that in no time at all I'll be watching The Invasion of Brays Cottage Pork Pies at the local Odeon in Putney.

And finally - treat pies with caution...

You might like to hear what happened when we ordered some pies from you last year as a surprise 'thank you' to a friend for running us to the airport. To keep the surprise, we had asked for unmarked packaging.

Unfortunately, we had forgotten how careful our friend is. Faced with an unexpected and anonymous parcel, he treated it with great suspicion. He and his wife discussed the problem at length. Finally they decided that, rather than call the police or the bomb squad, he would open it with caution. They took the parcel to the garage, and dressed in his welding helmet and gaunlets, his wife watching from a safe distance, he gingerly opened the parcel - to reveal six pork pies!

He did admit once he'd got over the shock, that they were the best pies he had ever tasted!
