This cottage pie is whipped up to order (i.e. they make it when we put our/your order in to them!) by a beef farmer and his gastropub chef mate on a farm in Worcestershire. It’s like having the finest country pub food delivered straight to your door. The steamy pies we sampled left us silent with joy. They had a good hit of spice, a rich wine sauce and a buttery, yet light and fluffy, mash!
Pegoty Hedge is an organic beef and lamb farm in the shadow of the Malvern Hills and Bredon Hill close to the River Severn. This idyllic corner of Worcestershire with its fertile land and lush green pastures produces some of the finest livestock in the country. Young Oliver is the third generation of Surmans to farm on this gorgeous plot. He’s teamed up with a local gastropub chef to create the most outstanding, organic dishes for you to heat up at home. The meals include a hearty cottage pie, a spicy lamb casserole, spicy meatballs and a rich goulash. The meals are all organic and carefully made on their farm with their own Aberdeen Angus beef and lamb together with local fresh vegetables. They do not use any artificial colourings, preservatives or other ‘nasties' so they really are ready meals without the guilt!
