The meat was tough, chewy and contained a lot of gristle I couldn 't eat the meat, so left it the 'pie ' was a spoonful of beef stew topped with a puff pastry top surely a 'pie ' is a complete encompassing pastry case with meat and veg inside ?? If you serve a good steak pie then it should be made from premium meat and charge more for the dish if the chef wants to use cheap cuts, then first cut off all the gristle and secondly, cook long and slow to tenderize the meat. I will return to eat at the restaurant again, but I think I will order ham, egg and chips in future.
