TO celebrate National Pie week the favourite pies of people in different parts of the UK have been revealed. For the UK’s 2021 National Pie Week (1st-7th March), the team at Eat Great Meat delved into the pies that the UK is most interested in online. They compiled data on people searching for pie types, takeaways and recipes to reveal the most popular pies across the UK over the past year. The Scotch pie is the UK’s favourite, receiving 385,497 searches or 16.9% of total searches for pie across the UK over the past 12 months. Originating in Scotland, this pie traditionally contains mutton but commonly contains beef, particularly when sold across England.
Higgidy goes pie for pie

The company will donate a meal to the charity for every Higgidy pie purchased during British Pie Week, with special stickered packs on sale in supermarkets.
As part of its #PieceOfThePie social media promotion of the initiative, Higgidy is offering 500 pie lovers the chance to win a freebie and gift one to a friend, with the company donating £1 to FareShare for every pie claimed.
