I have made this twice and it was wonderful both times! The first I had to force myself not to eat the whole thing in one sitting!!

The second time I made the stew ahead of time and took it with me to an informal dinner party me and my friends had and baked the pie there–worked like a charm!

Made today, an absolute triumph, only problem it didnt say when to add the stock and it seemed rather a lot so I only added 200 ml at the end with the ale.
I also seasoned the flour.

Oh and I used Old Speckled Hen.

It was a masterpiece.

Thanks, Ciel. Are you going to try making it some time?

Jo: I didn’t have any ale in the house because I kept forgetting to buy it at the shops! Instead I used Guinness. Feel free to experiment with an ale of your choice and let me know how it turned out.

Oh wow – how good that pie looks! And sadly, I think there are more microwave pubs than ones who actually cook…

This brings me right back to my honeymoon when we went to a couple traditional British pubs in London that served deliciously homey food like this. We loved it.
