FAQs

Is the gravy boozy?
Some batches use a splash of ale for depth; it cooks down to a savoury finish. Check the label for your pie.

How do I avoid a soggy bottom?
Bake on a preheated tray on a lower oven shelf for the first 15 minutes.

Can I air fry it?
If it fits your basket, try 170–180°C until pastry is golden and the centre is piping hot—cover lightly with foil if browning too fast.

How many does it serve?
Guides vary by size—individual (1), medium (2–3), large (4+).
