On first glance the market behind William Ellis School looks ordinary with the the usual range of breads, vegetables, free range meat and of course home made cakes.
Little Jack Horners is tucked in the corner (yes really). The good natured stall holder is selling pies.
Samples of lemony mustard chicken and new potato pie filling were generously offered. Sausage roll tasting as well, black pudding and apple was delicious
These are no ordinary pies. They come in three sizes (serving 1, 2 or 6) with full cooking instructions and are sold in attractive white enamel tins which you can bring back for a £2 refund. Their aim is "updating and reinventing traditional recipes for contemporary tastes"

I came home with a slow- cooked beef, mushroom and light ale pie and am pretty sure I will be tempted to try another variety when I return my tin
