Marston’s and Michelin-starred chef Tom Shepherd have teamed up again to serve up the ‘Best Ever Pub Pie’ to locals across the UK.
Tom Shepherd’s creation, inspired by his Great British Menu main course-winning dish, has been created in partnership with Marston’s.
It is back on the menu at the Oakingham Belle after selling out in just six weeks in April. It will also be available to order in more than 100 Marston’s pubs from September 4 – until it sells out
The triple layer pie is made with rich hand-pulled beef cheek and pulled beef shin, sweet and garlicky caramelised onions, separated by a thinly sliced, distinctively savoury, seasoned potato layer, all encased within a deliciously textured beef fat shortcrust pastry.
The pie will be served with creamed mashed potatoes, honey-roasted carrots, kale, peas, green beans and mangetout, and a rich red wine sauce.
For the ultimate indulgent experience, Tom has also recommended the perfect wine pairing to be enjoyed alongside the Best Ever Pub Pie. A bold, juicy Malbec will be available to order by the glass, or bottle, in all participating pubs.
Tom Shepherd is an award-winning chef, restaurateur, and entrepreneur and owns the Staffordshire based, Michelin-starred restaurant Upstairs by Tom Shepherd.
He appeared on Great British Menu in 2023, winning the main course round and the chance to cook his pie at the coveted banquet.
Tom said: “I’m so excited to be partnering with Marston’s again to give as many people as possible the chance to try my Best Ever Pub Pie.”
Kevin Woodyet, head of food at Marston’s, added: “We can’t wait to bring Tom’s Best Ever Pub Pie back to the menu at Marston’s.
“We knew it would be popular, but we couldn’t believe it when the pie sold out in just six weeks.
“The pie is exactly the same recipe this time around; it’s rich, decadent and absolutely delicious.”
