Flavour Notes
The filling is cooled completely before the lid goes on — warm filling under pastry is why bottoms go soggy. An egg wash before baking gets that serious deep-brown colour; a slash across the top lets the steam out. Bake in a hot oven straight from cold; reheat the same way, never the microwave.
Heating Instructions
All meals are fully cooked and delivered refrigerated. Keep refrigerated (consume within 4 days) or freeze immediately for up to 6 weeks. For best results, defrost overnight in the fridge — frozen-direct timings are a fallback, not the target.
Reheat to 75°C / 167°F internal temperature — a knife-tip held 2 seconds against the centre should feel hot, not warm. Always rest 2–5 minutes after reheating so the centre fully evens out. Reheat once only; never re-reheat leftovers.
Prepared in a kitchen that also handles gluten, tree nuts, dairy and soy — see the allergens list for dish-specific information.
Heat gently until piping hot throughout. Times are a guide — check the centre before serving.

The Story
Shredded chicken thigh and mushrooms folded through a velvety cream-and-thyme sauce, topped with a buttery shortcrust lid that goes properly golden in a hot oven. Single-serve, unashamedly generous.
