• On PJ's Pie Pub:

  Posted on 19th of August 2006

  PJ's Pie Pub is the home of my Local Food Hero - Mike PJ! If you like pies ..... proper pies (with the gravy/sauce filling a seperate boat and not the pie becuse that is full with all the meat/game/fish) then you have to come here. The pub is your home-from-home 'public house' and Mike PJ is your old fashioned landlord, except he is also the Chef, Pot Wash and Waiter. How he manages to regulary feed 25 people with homemade pies and run the bar is in itself worth an award! ...... But let me tell you about the pies ....... A choice of pies, depending on season, from 10 to 15 options, each is individually cooked (although for large events, big pies to share are available) and served with one of half a dozen of PJ's bespoke Gravy/Sauces. Added to this is a generous offering of simply cooked mixed vegetables, sautéed potatoes and an excellent baked cauliflower cheese. Desserts are honest and simple. And, being only a few miles away from Melton Mowbray, if you are easting with a group, a mature, creamy half Stilton can be provided for the cheese course. And I have not even mentioned the excellent cask ale (local brewery), beers, wine and Mike PJ's extensive 'what's your tipple?' selection of bottles collected during his many journeys around the world. Don't just take my word for it, give PJ a ring and order your pie (each one is made to order depending on availabiltiy of filiing) and try it out for yourself!
