Got a huge hunger? Irvines Pie Time Big Bite is just the pie to fill the gap.
Weighing in at a super-satisfying 210g and made with 100% beef, it's sure to beat any appetite!

Well, the meat might be 100% beef, but there was sod all, and it sure could not be classed as top-grade or export quality.
Though I enjoyed the pie, I must admit that compared to some of the pies I have had the pleasure of consuming, this pie was not at the top of the list in most respects.
The taste was lacking any texture. A flat, badly spiced gravy drowned out any remaining flavour left in the chewy, overcooked gristled remains of the beef. Wrapped in a passable pastry, this was not a pleasure to eat, it was a necessity only. The price one pays to enjoy the luxury of a long-haul drive.
However, this pie does have some saving graces. Weighing in at 210g, it is one of the larger pies available as stopovers, leaving me feeling well-filled and not at all hungry afterwards. The pastry had little flavour, but was not overly flakey, making for a reasonably tidy consumption zone... an important factor while parked at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
Overall, wouldn't make this my first choice, but nor would it rest at the bottom end of my scale. I have had few better, and many worse.
