Cheese & Onion Pie
A classic, hearty cheese and onion pie made with a light, buttery pastry and a rich, savoury filling of mature cheddar and Red Leicester. Softened onions are folded into a generous cheese mix, then combined with a seasoned egg custard for a creamy, well-balanced texture. Encased in golden pastry and baked until perfectly set, this pie delivers comforting flavour with a crisp finish—ideal for large-scale catering, buffets, or hot counter service.
