Your Christmas Pie Guide: A Pie for Every Festive Moment

2 days ago
2 min read

Christmas is the one time of year when nobody bats an eyelid at pie for breakfast, lunch and tea. So we've put together a little guide: a pie for every festive moment, from the big Christmas Eve supper to the Boxing Day leftovers lull. They're all made with free range British meat or properly good veg, and they're all delivered to your door.

Christmas Eve: a proper pie supper

Pieminister Deer & Beer venison and stout pie

Christmas Eve calls for something cosy, and nothing says festive like venison. Deer & Beer is wild British venison, chestnut mushroom and thyme in a rich milk stout gravy brewed by our Bristol neighbours Wiper & True. Serve it with buttery mash and a glass of red, and you've got a feast.

Feeding a crowd? Our best-seller Moo (British beef steak slow-cooked in craft ale) never lets anyone down. Cheese lovers should grab Moo & Blue, our British beef and Stilton pie. And what's more Christmassy than Stilton?

Veggie and vegan guests, sorted

No sad nut roast here. Chana Rama was crowned Best Vegan Pie at the British Pie Awards 2025: chickpeas, sweet potato, cauliflower and spinach in a warming masala, wrapped in vegan pastry.

  • Mooless Moo: plant-based 'steak' with vegan craft ale and black pepper. All the joy of a steak and ale pie, no moo.

  • Wild Shroom: portobello and chestnut mushrooms with asparagus in a creamy white wine sauce.

  • Heidi: goats' cheese, sweet potato and spinach. Loved by veggies and meat-eaters alike.

Gluten free? Nobody misses out

Pieminister GF Moolin Rouge gluten free beef and red wine pie

Our gluten free pies are the real deal, not an afterthought. GF Moolin Rouge (British beef steak and red wine) and GF Free Ranger (free range chicken, ham, thyme and leek) are both certified gluten free by Coeliac UK. For cheese fans there's GF Big Cheese, and for plant-based guests, GF Mooless Moo.

Christmas morning and Boxing Day

Pieminister Eggs Benny ham, Cheddar and spinach quiche

Presents open, Buck's Fizz poured: it's brunch o'clock. Our deep-dish quiches are made for it. Eggs Benny is free range British ham, vintage Cheddar and spinach, and The Swiss is Emmental, Cheddar, potato and leek. Both come in a crisp seeded pastry base, and both are lovely warm or cold.

Come Boxing Day, when nobody can face cooking, let the oven do the work. Old Skool Banger (free range Cumberland sausage, vintage Cheddar and potato) or Free Ranger (chicken, ham hock and leek) will have everyone back on their feet.

Stocking fillers for pie lovers

Know someone who's pie-obsessed? A £10 or £20 restaurant gift voucher is the perfect present to spend at our restaurants. And if you'd rather someone else did the cooking altogether, book a festive table with us.
