Tasty at the Tavern?
The Selly ParkTavern was the place to go with friends from the X:site youth event in
Birmingham, to catch up on the latest event and have a meal together. And with
the night chosen being “Pie Night”, surely it couldn’t have been better timed!
So having ordered my Chicken and Ham Suet Pie, I eagerly awaited its arrival –
especially as there hadn’t been even a hint of a discount on the pie despite it
being pie night after all! Was it really that good?!
Sadly I have
to say it didn’t blow me away. The filling was quite a nice consistency with
the chicken and ham complementing one another well. It was a nice sauce too.
However the pastry left me disappointed. It was rather too crispy and dry on
the outside but with the pastry being quite thick the centre was quite soggy.
The taste was also quite overpowering. Particularly as the price hadn’t even
been discounted for pie night, it was a bit of a blow. There’s certainly better
pies on the Ember Inns menu.
