THE FIVE-POINT PLAN ✳
What makes
a great pie?
We take our mince pies seriously (but not ourselves). Here’s what goes into every review.
Filling
Fruit, spice and everything nice. Is there enough of it?
✳Cost / quality
A festive bargain or a little too much dough?
✳Presentation
From the box to the plate: does it look the part?
✳Overall Xmas wow
That unmistakable, magical, Christmas feeling.
✳A BRIEF HISTORY ✳
History of
mince pies.
We believe in the now: the eternal nowness and wowness of the mince pie. Perhaps Christmas starts a bit early, but that just means more pies.
