Manchester pub hosts annual pie festival: We taste test some delicious gourmet pies
  • 3 months ago
A popular restaurant and pub in Manchester is serving up a selection of delicious pies for a bargain as part of its annual pie festival.

The Black Friar in Salford is celebrating the favourite British dish for as little as £10 until the end of February this year.

The restored English pub serves gourmet mains, cocktails, and desserts in a historic setting, and this year marks its third annual pie festival.

The pies on offer in January and February include creamy chicken and pancetta, minced aged beef and root vegetable, classic fish pie and a cheese option for vegetarians.

There is also a host of daily specials handcrafted by head chef Ben Chaplin.

We were lucky enough to head down to the Black Friar to try the delicious pies out for ourselves.
