Goddard's Pie and Mash

It’s been a busy couple of days for us culminating in Kane and Sean taking a trip up to the LBC Radio studios in London yesterday. Carefully carrying our precious bag of freshly made pies, mash, liquor and chilli vinegar for an appearance on the Tom Parker Bowles food programme at 4pm. We were invited on to discuss the tradition of pie and mash, jellied eels and, of course, for Tom to taste our food.

Kane took the hot seat just after the 4pm news and did a sterling job of talking to not only Tom but many of the people calling in for the following 25 minutes. The calls were varied with some just wanting to officially state their approval of pie and mash and how much they enjoy eating it. One caller asked whether vegetarian pies were available as the traditional pie and mash pie is made from minced beef.

Kane took it all in his stride and answered each question in turn whilst really wanting Tom to tuck in to the delicious pie and mash we had brought with us. Due the amount of calls and texts coming in there wasn’t really too much time for Tom to do the food justice, but he did taste at least some of our pie and mash and gave an approving nod and a smile as he ate the food whilst trying to simultaneously talk on the air!

However, it was presenter James Max and the LBC studio staff who seemed to appreciate the food the most with all tucking in to pie and mash after Kane finished at 4.30pm. Kane and Sean left the studio whilst the staff, fork and spoons in hand, happily polished off the rest of the pie and mash (with liquor).

Thank you to everyone at LBC who helped us yesterday with particular thanks to Tom, Matt and Zoe.
