Jessica Ward | 5th March 2019

This year, The Great North Pie Co has partnered up with Yu Alderley Edge to create a special edition pie, available exclusively throughout British Pie Week.

 

Putting a unique Chinese spin on the gourmet pies, a unique filling has been created by Victor Yu, the executive chef behind Yu Alderley Edge and winner of the best restaurant in the 2018 Golden Chopstick Awards.

Speaking about the partnership, Neil Broomfield, Director of Great North Pie Co says “We’re just playing about with the chippy tea, I love puddings, chips and curry sauce from the chippy so its hopefully just a good version of that.  The chicken is the same spicing and marinade for their Chicken wrapped in Bamboo, I’ve always thought that would work well in a pie.  We made a pho pie a few years ago with Luke Nguyen which was really nice, I think it’ll work really well.”

The pies will be available from Thursday at Great North Pie Co in Market House on Altrincham Market.
