🌸Spring Has Sprung! And So Have Our Latest Side Suggestions...🌱
Spring has sprung, pie lovers! 🌞🌷 The birds are singing, the days are getting longer, and your pies deserve some fresh, seasonal sides to match the vibes!
So, let’s dive into the best springtime pairings to elevate your pie experience... 🍽️✨
1. Buttered Spring Greens 🥬✨
Spring greens, lightly steamed and tossed with a knob of butter (or a drizzle of olive oil for the vegans out there), are the ultimate fresh sidekick to rich, meaty pies! Their slightly bitter, earthy bite balances out deep, savoury flavours.+
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Steak & Ale Pie, or a Steak & Kidney Pie for a comforting yet balanced meal!
2. Pea, Mint & Feta Salad 🌿🧀
Bright, zingy, and just the right amount of fancy. Mix fresh peas with crumbled feta, a splash of lemon juice, and fresh mint for a side that screams spring!! Perfect for cutting through creamy or cheesy pies.
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Chicken, Leek & Bacon Pie, or a Butternut Squash & Goats Cheese Pie for a fresh contrast.
3. Honey-Roasted Carrots & Parsnips 🥕🍯
A little sweetness goes a long way! Roasting carrots and parsnips with honey and a pinch of thyme brings out their natural sugars, creating a caramelized, slightly crisp exterior that pairs perfectly with rich, slow-cooked fillings!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Sheep Pie, or a Lamb Maroc Pasty for an epic mix of sheep-y sweet and savoury.
4. Spring Slaw 🥗⚡
Ditch the heavy mayo and go for a zingy slaw! Shredded cabbage, radishes, carrots, and apple, tossed in a mustardy vinaigrette, add crunch and freshness to every bite.
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Squealer Pork Pie, or an Original Chunki Sausage Roll for a porky perfection combo.
5. New Potato & Herb Salad 🥔🌿
Toss new potatoes with olive oil, wholegrain mustard, fresh dill, and a hint of garlic for a light but satisfying side. The herby kick makes it sing next to a classic British pie!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Chicken & Mushroom & Tarragon Pie, or a Chicken & Chorizo Pasty for a dreamy match made in chicken heaven!
6. Wild Garlic & Cheese Mash 🧄🧀
It’s mashed potato, but make it spring! Wild garlic (found in woodlands this time of year) adds a fresh garlicky hit, while a sprinkle of mature cheddar makes it extra indulgent!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Our award-winning Steak Pasty, or an Ultimate Steak Pie for that extra cheesy, herby magic.
7. Asparagus with Lemon Butter 🌱🍋
Light, fresh, and slightly fancy, asparagus is a true spring superstar. Drizzle with lemon butter and serve alongside your pie for a quick, delicious upgrade!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Ruby Murray Veggie Curry Pasties, or a Mushroom Stroganott Pie for a great green plate.
8. Rhubarb & Apple Chutney 🍏🍓
A bit of sweet, a bit of tart - this chutney is made for pies, adding a fruity punch to every bite. If you’ve never paired rhubarb with pork, now’s the time!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: A Pork, Apple & Scrumpy Sausage Roll, or Pork & Scrumpy Pasty for a tangy twist.
9. Lemon & Herb Dressed Greens 🥬🍋
A simple mix of rocket, spinach, and baby kale, tossed in a lemony dressing, is the perfect way to keep things light and fresh!
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Butter Chicken Curry Pasty for lightness, or a Steak & Blue Pasty for a punchy balance!
10. Spring Onion & Cheddar Scones 🧀
Why have plain old bread when you can have flaky, cheesy scones? Serve warm with a bit of butter and watch them disappear in minutes.
🥧 Pairs beautifully with: Chunki Roast Veg Pasty, or a Gluten-Free Cheese & Onion Pasty for extra cheesy goodness.
