Festive Pie Perfection

AJ is away this week, so as we are rapidly approaching Christmas, this week we’re revisiting one of our favourite episodes from last year’s festive season. 🎄❄️
 
Join us as we revisit the spectacular festive showstopper pie created by Chef Calum Franklin for Dickinson & Morris, which recently won a Gold Christmas award at the 2024 Quality Food Awards 🏆
 
The perfect addition to your festive spread, these Dickinson & Morris pies are stunning with beautiful pastry work encasing a delicious pork filling. The three manage to find time in between sampling the pie to talk about what makes the perfect pork pie and how Dickinson & Morris make their pies so special. 🎄✨
