Perfect Pie & Pint Night Ideas

There's something wonderfully comforting about a pie and a pint - especially when the weather turns dreary. Whether you're entertaining friends or just want that cosy pub-style experience at home, pairing a hearty handmade pie with a well-matched drink is a deliciously simple way to elevate your evening.

Pick Your Pie

At The Country Victualler, we've handcrafted a range of traditional British pies - rich in flavour, wrapped in buttery pastry and delivered frozen so you can enjoy them anytime.

A Few Favourites:

Steak & Ale Pie - The pub classic. Deep beefy flavours, rich gravy and perfect with a dark ale or bitter.

Game Pie in Gravy - Packed with seasonal game meats and best paired with a bold red wine.

Rabbit, Leek & Cider Pie - Delicate and subtly sweet, beautifully matched with a crisp craft cider.

Steak, Stout & Cheddar Pie - Sharp cheese meets rich stout-infused filling - serve with a creamy ale or amber lager.

Sides to Serve

Make it a full plate by adding roast potatoes and roasted vegetables. Don't forget the gravy - always serve extra.

Pick Your Pint

No need to overthink it - go with what you enjoy. Traditional bitters, craft lagers or even a nice Melot will complement our pies depending on your choice.

So skip the pub queue - your perfect pie and pint are just an oven away.
