A Harrogate pub is set to be one of just 12 across Yorkshire that will be offering a Michelin-starred chef’s 'best ever pub pie.'
Michelin-starred chef Tom Shepherd’s pie will be available at The Curious Cow of Harrogate from 17th April.
The pie, made from a secret recipe, will be available to order in over 100 Marston’s pubs for 12 weeks.
It’s filled with hand-pulled beef cheek, caramelised onions, and roast potatoes, all encased in a luxurious beef fat shortcrust pastry.
The pie will be served with seasonal vegetables, creamy mashed potato and a rich red wine sauce.
Tom Shepherd is an award-winning chef, restaurateur, and entrepreneur and owns the Staffordshire based, Michelin-starred restaurant Upstairs by Tom Shepherd.
Tom appeared on Great British Menu in 2023, winning the main course round and the chance to cook his pie at the coveted banquet.
Tom has been working closely with the Marston’s development team to make sure that the pie is as close as possible in flavour and appearance as his iconic dish.
Chef Tom Shepherd said:
“I’m so excited to be partnering with Marston’s to give as many people as possible the chance to try my secret recipe.
“I have been asked to share the recipe a lot, but it hasn’t felt like the right partnership, until now!
“For me, when I think of the pub, I think of a good pie, so I was delighted to have the chance to work with the Marston’s team to bring this pie to life.
“I can’t wait to see what people think. The Best Ever Pub Pie will only be on the menu for 12 weeks, so don’t miss out!”
The Curious Cow of Harrogate is one of just three venues in North Yorkshire that will offer the pie alongside The Penny Hedge in Whitby and The Willow Beck in Northallerton.
Claire Robertson, Director of Operations at Marston’s, said:
“Pies are some of the most popular dishes across our menus, but we wanted to do something extra special and when Tom Shepherd agreed to share his recipe, we were thrilled.
“We’ve worked really hard together to create the most delicious dish possible, it’s rich, decadent and absolutely delicious.
“We can’t wait to introduce The Best Ever Pub Pie to customers across the UK, giving as many people as possible the chance to try my recipe from the 17th April.”
