British Pie Week declared

Now this is right up one or two of our customer's street!

March 1st to 7th has now officially designated as British Pie Week.

What a great idea we thought – till we saw it was sponsored by Jus-Rol! Anyway, the experts that design these marketing initiatives have also discovered that steak pie is consistently the best-selling pub dish.

The chap from the artificial pastry company said “The pie is justifiably one of the great British favourites. Being the UK’s most popular pastry dish, we felt it truly deserved its own national week and are delighted to be associated with its launch."
That's all well and good Mr Pastry but we can assure regulars here at the Oak that all our dishes our entirely home made – which means pastry properly (and lovingly) prepared by Marc or Carmen. And if you'd like to try our favourite pie-ish dish why not come here and try our notorious Steak and Mushroom Pudding?

But we're taken by the idea of a Pie Week – so we'll have a look at what our customers say in our new Poll. That's right, vote for your favourite Pie in the Royal Oak PieQuest – and perhaps we'll celebrate the winner in true Royal Oak style!
