I've been meaning to try Piebury Corner for a while, ever since National Pie Week 2017. Lo and behold fast forward to National Pie Week 2018 and Timeout advertising a discount voucher for them to celebrate the week. As per usual Timeout overexaggerates the savings, stating the pie/side/sauce combo is £14 eat-in or £13 takeaway. Actually it's £10.5 eat-in or £8.5 takeaway, but it's still a saving with the voucher at £7 eat-in or £6 takeaway.
You're limited to selection from the 2 pies-of-the-day, which seems to be one meat and one vegetarian. On this day I was blessed to have the excellent sounding Ox cheek & venison as the special. The pie filling is thin but still nice and chewy and not crispy dried like others recently. The meat chunks of the cheek are tender and the venison is a little more stringy, as expected. My choice of side horseradish mash was a very large serve with pickles and mild horseradish noticeable throughout. The suggested red wine sauce wasn't really needed for the pie but it added an extra element to the mash.
I'll be back. Not only because I have 3 vouchers left to use but that does make it easier. And the Timeout deal goes until June...
