Scarrots Lane Bakery

18 / 20 Overall

Four freshly baked pies from Newport's Scarrots Lane Bakery for £3.80 won our hearts and our top score so far, 18/20. With maximum 5/5 for both pastry and filling, these were the tastiest pies we've had this year. Deep fill doesn't even begin to describe how much of the delicious spicy filling there was - with no gap on top at all.

We also sampled the non-compliant variants, chocolate brownie mince pies and Viennese whirl mince pies. These were fine, but we all agreed the simple original pies were far superior. Keep it real with Scarrots Lane Bakery originals.

Tasters' comments: "These pies are huge"; "Good in every way".
