Chicken,
Bacon and Leek Lattice Pie Review by Co-op
With a
discount on the Chicken, Bacon and Leek lattice pie in Co-op, it was too good
an offer to miss! So my friends James and Claire picked the pie up for me and a
review was in order! It didn’t take long for me to find an excuse to crack out
the pie and heat it in the oven. So with a few friends to share pie with –
going into “co-operative mode” with Jeremy and Stu – the pie was served up and
ready to rate.

The first
thoughts were that this pie wasn’t very deep and content therefore could have
been better. Sure, the pie was filled to the top (though that’s not
particularly hard in such a shallow pie) and the lattice pastry on top looked pretty
and was nicely crisp, however there wasn’t much filling to go with it. This did
leave the pie tasting a bit dry, particularly the base pastry, as there wasn’t
very much sauce to compliment it. The dry pastry was highlighted when some of
the base pastry rather crumbled as I took the pie out of the tin foil it was
cooked in, diminishing the condition score, but the pastry was generally crisp
and nice.
However the
filling that was there was very good. The chicken and bacon were very nice and
tender, spread out throughout the pie. The meat wasn’t chewy at all and was
flavoursome. I’d have liked a bit more substance to the pie, with more meat and
sauce in the pie to boost the taste. However the pie filling was very nice and
the creamy & light sauce complemented the meat well.
The pie at
normal price is £3 for a family sized pie, which is quite reasonable. I’d
happily eat this pie again, though would prefer more filling to bulk the capacity
of the pie up!

I tried the co-op pack of 4 Steak pies and found them to be vile. The top failed to cook correctly, the steak was not decent and I also got a few big chunks of gristle so haven't touched their pies since. I am glad one seems alright
