Not The Finest
The pie filling is ok but not enough meat, however, the pastry is not good. Very hard , even on the base of the pie . It does not live up to the Finest label and I have had better standard Tesco pies than this.
As with most pies very little meat
Had this for first time as I really fancied a pie but as with most pies very little meat pastry was okay but a bit hard sauce was nice and you could taste stilton
Flavoursome
Really impressed, could really taste the stilton and filling was plentiful; just what I would expect of Finest
Not up there with the leading brands
I never write reviews, however as a lover of steak and stilton pies I felt compelled to. I was so pleased to see Tesco was now selling a steak and stilton pie as I usually have to go elsewhere to purchase one. The gravy/sauce is spot on, however the pastry and steak is most disappointing. The pastry tastes like it has been frozen and defrosted (several times) it's basically a bit like cardboard. The steak was slightly stringy and tough. I usually opt for the leading pie brand names, which never disappoint. They are usually priced around the same as this Tesco pie and worth every penny. However this pie is nowhere near the same quality, I think if it was half the price it is then I may not be so critical but compared to the leading pie brands this was utterly dissapointing.
