What could beat the comforting warmth of a delicious pie? It’s part of our heritage and something worth celebrating as far as we are concerned. Given that this week is National Pie Week (5-11 March) we thought it was a great excuse to give our customers the chance to help develop a brand new pie for Melrose and Morgan in our ‘Make My Pie’ competition.

We want you to get creative in the kitchen and tell us about your favourite recipe or ultimate pie idea. The winning recipe will go on sale, credited to you as the pie creator, for a limited run at our two stores this Autumn. Alongside that the winner will also bag £100 in Melrose and Morgan vouchers to spend at any time.

To add to the excitement, we’ve also got a brand new Beef and Chorizo Pie on the menu for March; delicious, melting slow cooked beef and Brindisa chorizo dulce in a rich sherry gravy under a crisp puff pastry lid. Great with our new Spring Greens with Thyme Butter.

How to Enter:

• Send us your pie recipe and a clear method for making your pie.
• The pie can be sweet or savoury and have any sort of pastry or topping that you desire.
• However, if you don’t have a recipe but you have a great idea for a pie, then we’d still be delighted to hear from you!
• Your entries should be sent by email to: louisa@melroseandmorgan.com by no later than 31 March.
