Chicken pies, made to order in Peterborough
Chicken, potato and thyme. No garlic in this one, which is deliberate: chicken is a milder meat than beef and garlic walks straight over it. Thyme on its own lets the chicken taste like chicken, and the potato carries the seasoning through the filling.

The filling
Chicken, potato and thyme, and that is the list. It is the gentler pie of the two, and usually the one children and anyone who finds beef heavy will actually finish. The pastry and the crimp are the same as the beef pie, and it is filled just as generously.
One batch, sized to the orders
Pies are filled and crimped by hand in one batch sized to the order list, then frozen for you to bake at home. Nothing sits in a chiller for a week. That is only possible at a small scale, so the batch runs out.
Frozen for later
Pies and sausage rolls come frozen, ready to bake whenever you want them. It is the easiest way to feed people who turn up unannounced, and the version of hospitality that requires no actual effort on the day.

Chicken pies, answered
What is in Sploffin's chicken pies?
Chicken, potato and thyme, in hand-crimped pastry. There is no garlic in the chicken pie, unlike the beef one, so the chicken flavour comes through cleanly.
What is the difference between the beef and chicken pies?
The beef pie is beef, potato, thyme and garlic. The chicken pie is chicken, potato and thyme. The beef is the richer of the two; the chicken is milder and usually the one children prefer.
Can I order chicken pies for an event?
Yes. Larger savoury orders for parties and offices are welcome, and pies also appear on the grazing tables. Tell me the date and a rough head count and I'll come back with a price.
