“Where is the chicken in a chicken & mushroom pie ? 🤷♀️
Sadly there is no substance to a pukka pie these days and considering the price, they’re not worth buying.”
“Go to Gregg's and buy a steak bake. It has some flavour and some meat. Pukka means proper but these pies are certainly not proper. Full of gloopy
gravy. Yes the original gravy pie.”
“The pastry was fine but the filling was really poor. Chicken filling was colourless and looked like a glutinous mass. Not worth eating and very disappointing”
“What has happened to the pukka pies ??
I will never buy a pukku pie again No meat just gravy & full of gristle disgusting & the price has gone up !!!!”
“Had the large steak pie only 3 tiny bits of meat of which 2 were so chewy I gave them to the dog . Even she wasn't keen. Hardly any gravy , just thick pastry”
“Just finished a 'Pukka Pie'...
Anything but!! Where's the filling???
It was almost empty!! I don't know how they bake a pie with no filling and keep the pastry case 'standing'!! Full of just AIR!!
Won't buy again!!”
“Used to be good value and good quality.
Something has changed big time.
They are neither good value or good quality.
They just contains few tiny bits of gristle
Have seen far superior meat in dog food.”
“Bought an 'all steak' pukka pie from Morrison. The packaging says 'tender steak & rich gravy' So dissapointed ! Nice crisp pastry, but the first bite was a mouth full of grizzle, no meat attached and the smaller pieces of meat where far from tender. In there own words, they've been baking since 1963, they should have perfected it by now. Sadly not so !”
“I used to like these pies.
I just cooked one and was looking forward to it.
I sliced into the crispy pastry to find....nothing. Some slimy goop and no chicken at all.
They must be on a savings spree and decided to not use actual fillings anymore!”
“Just made pie and mash , treated myself to a "pukka" pie ( which is anything but ) . Not even enough filling to cover the pasty bottom , at best 10% filling . I will be sticking with a far superior supermarkets own next time . There was a time these pies lived up to their name.”
“Had a steak and kidney pie tonite.Used to love the pies from years ago.What has gone wrong. Pukka rubbish pies is the best description now. Stodgy,tasteless and what happened to the kidney.?Could not find any!. Very disappointed now. Used to be the highlight of a pie and a pint in the local pub and I’m sure I’m not the only one to say that..”
