Steak & Nicholson's Pale Ale Pie
Lunch @ "The Horniman At Hays".
"Beef cooked in Nicholson's Pale Ale, encased in short crust pastry. Awarded gold at the British Pie Awards".
The pies on the menu intrigued our table, especially this once, since it was claimed to be "award winning".
I do enjoy a good pie and this award-winner was plenty decent. Did it sock it me? No. As pie-filling goes, I generally prefer spicier ones since they will be more flavourful and for myself, elevate the enjoyment. As rich and meaty the filling was, I was waiting for the "oomph" that never really come. Did the beer made any difference? Perhaps but it wasn't any earth-shattering fireworks.
