With British Pie Week taking place next week (March 6-12), newly opened pie restaurant Great North Pie Co is celebrating the occasion with a tasty collaboration to create a show-stopping limited edition pie. Joining forces with Instagram foodie, Only Scrans, they have produced a unique pie filled with Chinese chicken curry.
On Thursday 9th March, for one day only, Only Scrans will be joining Great North Pie Co’s co-founder, Neil Broomfield, at the brand’s new Kitchen + Bar at Kampus to serve up this masterpiece. Taking on the takeaway classic, the new pie was developed at the pie company’s south Manchester bakery by co-founder Neil alongside Only Scrans, inspired by the football classic Chicken Balti.
Each pie contains slow-cooked chicken thighs, marinated overnight in Chinese spices and coconut milk, with a Chinese chip shop curry sauce, packed into Great North Pie Co’s famous all-butter pastry, all topped with crunchy sesame and panko breadcrumbs. The limited-edition pie will be served up by Neil & Jono from Only Scrans, in the new kitchen + bar on March 9, alongside homestyle chips and golden curry sauce.
Only Scrans, aka Jono Yates, is known for documenting all of his favourite food porn on Instagram and TikTok, with his creations being super decadent, but using readily-available ingredients. Inspired by the classic Chicken Balti found at football stadiums across the country, pies are the staple footy snack come rain or shine, win or loss. Great North Pie Co already supplies pies to Stockport County’s Edgeley Park and Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.
Great North Pie Co recently launched its first city centre Kitchen + Bar at Kampus, Manchester. The new home of Great North Pie Co is a cosy and intimate space to enjoy a modern take on traditional pie and mash, with the seasonal menu currently featuring pies such as 14-hour Braised Beef and Ale, Roast Chicken and Mushroom and the company’s hero, Classic Lancashire Cheese and Onion.
Spaces cannot be reserved to try this Chinese chicken curry pie, however the limited-edition pie is also be available for nationwide delivery between March 6 and 11, while stocks last.
