Waitrose’s steak and ale pie won a UK taste test for best flavor, texture, and value during National Pie Week.

During National Pie Week, a UK supermarket steak and ale pie taste test found Waitrose’s pie the top choice, excelling in flavor, texture, and value with a flaky crust, rich filling, and generous portion. M&S’s pie was overpriced and salty, Aldi’s lacked flavor despite flaky pastry, and Tesco’s was solid but unremarkable. Sainsbury’s results were not detailed. The test showed higher price doesn’t guarantee better quality.
