I love Scotch pies with baked beans poured over the top of them. Amazing :)

Brought up on Scotch Pies, the fact that these have to be baked at home makes them even better, will be giving these a try, for sure.

Just a tip, if you don't mind. When baking pies and such like stand them on the parchment paper in the tray, not using the rack. The heat from the tray will crisp the underside much better.

I love Scotch pies and have them shipped from Scottish suppliers to Portsmouth for my family and friends! Gareth add some nice brown sauce before tasting.

I love that serving suggestion - 3 pies and 5 chilis! 😆 Also, the irony of reviewing a Scottish food on the Welsh saint's day! 🙃

When I holidayed around Scotland back in the 90s, I was eating scotch pies on most days. I love them and although it not great health wise, a dollop of creamy mash on top is like no other. Bigger belt when I got home.

As a child, going back to the sixties, and visiting family in Dunfermline, the scotch pies back then used to run with juices, happy memories.

Being a Scot I absolutely love Scotch Pies, Greggs are nice but not much too them, I see Bells have reduced there’s too 3 pies instead of 4 they used too have in a box

A scotch pie straight from a bakers simply cannot be beaten

Lovly looking pies. Had a scotch pie last year in glasgow bakery , yummy!

Scotch pies are generally the pie you get at every Scottish football ground from lower leagues to the SPL & are generally supplied from whichever bakers in that town or city where the team are. They are nice with a bovril watching your local team in winter get hammered 😂 Those Bells 🔔 pies are nice as I say tho are the mass manufactured Scotch pie & as good as they are aren’t a patch on most local made Scotch pies across the country 😊

Price wise these are really pretty brilliant. I absolutely love these pies. They also look like they have a half decent amount of filling. Well done Gaz, another epic my friend.

You used to get them from the bakers with beans and mash on top instead of the pastry ! Delicious!

Bells pies from Scotland, brilliant! Don't see them much down here in the West Country. I'm off to farm foods in the morning to get those pies for sure. This came up after your Air fry bacon and I would say the new lampshade created more reflection off shiny surfaces, you may have to start wearing a flat cap😉

I’ve grown up on Bells pies and Bells puff pastry. They’re normally pretty decent. I like a bit of HP on the top or beans. They do good macaroni pies and chicken curry pies too.

they are the ones we get in our local chippy, try them with beans as a topping, easy to go to food

Not had one of these for years but will certainly look out for them near Manchester after watching this. Another great vid. Thank you

Scotch pies are spot on with a bit of spice.

Being from Glasgow those pies are tremendous on a roll with brown sauce 👌🏻

All washed down with a cheeky chilled glass of Irn Bru! 😋

Seeds aren't the hottest part of Chillies ( only found out recently ) ,its the white pith. Seeds don't contain any heat within but cos they're attached to the pith (Placenta ) ,they get a coating.

We need a compilation of Gareth's facial expressions! 😂

Love this channel having stumbled across it! Gonna get me some of these pies now!!

My nana always cooked her shop bought scotch pies upside down for a few minutes to let some if the fat drain out.

They look like good pies. This morning I was mooching around B & M, like you do, when I came across a squeezy bottle of Hellmann's mayonnaise. I had to look twice at the label: it was GRAVY flavour - I kid you not. Who on earth came up with that one?

Nice one Gareth, I get some of these at the weekend. Love your channel by the way.

Gaz, those pies look pretty tasty pal !! Just getting over a bout of sickness and the trots, getting my appetite back ! Chuck us one through the screen please mate lol ! 😋🤗

Couldn't beat scotch pies chips n beans as wean in Glasgow ' mmmm😁👍

Been many years since eating a scotch pie 🥧...my eldest son loves them.

Scotch pie with a topping of mashed potato baked to a bit of a crisp & then add a nice helping of baked beans on top or in the side. That’s a tasty warming satisfying meal in winter or summer😊 Scotch pie with chips & peas & a bit of beef gravy 😊 The Scottish chip shops all do Scotch pies & a Scotch pie supper is a warming winter treat if out and about but if salt and vinegar & some Gold star chippy sauce either tomato or brown is delicious. A roll in scotch pie is nice .

Great entertaining vids just will say I bought same lumber jacket in Lidl on time wasting isle mine did same pal now it’s fixed following your dryer instructions you defo a a man of pure wisdom and knowledge haha

You’re SPOT ON Gareth, a Scotch pie was originally filled with pork. The crust is meant to be hardish so the pie can be carried without it falling to bits. The reason the top doesn’t go all the way to the casing is so that you can put beans, peas, or potatoes on top. A ‘special’ pie has no top. It has meat, then beans, then potatoes on top. You can also get a macaroni pie and a chicken curry pie which is really good. I don’t have them often, however; my favourite is . . . well done home made chips, after heating pie, cut it in half and separate a little bit, pour beans over the top of the pie, or (Farrows) marrowfat peas, with the obligatory buttered bread for mopping up, and chip buttie. I’ll try and get you a ‘Killie’ pie to you, so you can try that. Great review pal, keep it up. All the best to you and yours.

I have now tried one of these Bells Scotch pies from Farmfoods and it was gorgeous! Far better than the Greggs. This pie was the normal pie, not the one with chilli. I ate it with a can of new potatoes roasted in the air fryer. I drained the potatoes and mopped them dry, then sprayed them with a sunflower oil spray from Aldi. Finally, I sprinkled a fair bit of salt over them and roasted them on air crisp for 18 minutes at 190° C, shaking occasionally. They turned out far better than I expected, with a crispy golden skin.

Man, I love Scotch Pies. When I was in the RAF I did the Edinburgh tattoo multiple times. Every night for a month, one of these for tea. I might have to slip out to the shop for a pack tomorrow 😁

They look good. Pity they don't make them with mutton like they did years ago.

I don’t know how Farmfoods stock varies by region, but I will certainly be looking out to see if these reach us in the Midlands.

They used to do them in jack fullertons they was cheap for food ,sadly ours as moved out of town ,iceland will sell somethig similar i always kept a few boxes in ,your setting me off if i end up at the dr's with morbid obesity 😂👍👍

Very nice, used to get these from the chippy when I was in Scotland as a lorry driver, Hollands have a nice frozen meat pie, can also get them in Farmfoods.

You can't beat the price! Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

Down on south coast, but my favourite bakery does make Scots pies, only certified Scottish ingredient is the meat, which are lamb or beef.

Never had these before, I may have them with chilli con carne in the future 👍.. happy St David's Day to any Wales people and Gareth of course 👍

G'day Gareth. Mate those scotch pies look delicious. I love the way they're 'rimmed' for adding mash and beans or a pool of gravy. Yum Yum! Top review today using the new Sage to cook the pies. Cheers mate 👍🤤😀

Spontaneous busts in to song always make the show more exciting😂👍🕺

I have never had a scotch pie. I am nearer to the south so probably better known by people nearer to Scotland. I must investigate the bakeries to see if they stock them. They looked lovely.

Always liked TRADITIONAL 'Scotch pies' BUT over the decades you can see many produced that are not what we call 'traditional' ... so you have to be careful NOT to fall into the trap of anything goes into that pie... A bit like us Cornish getting a little peed off about those who mess around with our CORNISH pasties.. 👀The first filling was spiced mutton and sometimes you’ll still find Scotch Pies called a Mutton pie, although now minced lamb or beef is more commonly used.👍 The difference between a Scotch pie to other mince pies is the pastry, called “hot water pastry”. It’s more like a crust rather than a flaky pastry, meaning it can be moulded to form the distinctive round with straight sides. 👍Mom always stuck with lamb mince for our Scotch Pies, given the most traditional filling was mutton but that’s not really a supermarket shelf staple now. Lamb is now more common, or you can use beef if you prefer, but this will, of course, give it a different flavour.👀In short, mutton are sheep that are brought to market when they are one year old or older. Before that, they're referred to as lambs.

Scottish ingredients. I'm liking it pal. Glad they were tasty. Keep staying spot on pal. By far my favourite food review channel. And because of you, my folks have decided to save on expensive Chinese takeaways (and they ARE expensive in my town), and instead buy the Mayflower curry sauce & add it to their chicken & onion. There really isn't that much difference! And the best thing is the low sugar content. I'm amazed that that much flavour is in it without silly amounts of sugar! You, my friend, are a legend. Much love to you & your family 🥰

scotch pie and a hot bovril drink mmmm lol( if no bovril then use oxo cubes) lovely winter warmer

Growing up in Acotland I did love the Scotch pies. Will have to look out for those, Thank you 🤓

Bells make a lovey chicken curry Scotch pie which are nice & not forgetting the macaroni pie which is a scotch pie casing with macaroni cheese felling. The Killie pie is another fine variant which is filled with premium beef steak & gravy. These are sold across west central Scotland & are manufactured in Kilmarnock in Ayrshire I see the vans in the Glasgow areas with the bold logo “ say Aye to a killie pie”😂

Gareth . . . . absolutely spot on as usual - a really great video buddy! 😎😎👍👍😎😎

You was speechless at the end lol 😂.. fair play matey .. nice as pie 🥧

Fun fact my very first job after leaving school at 15 was putting the lids on scotch pies in a bakery , thousands of them ! lol

Food of the gods amazed they don’t stock them in more places in England ! 😊

Marvellous. Iceland seemed to have got rid of them so welcome news.

Great review Gazza. Could not believe they had these in Iceland for £2.30 !!!!

I'm with you ,Mutton is what is a scotch pie is. Mind you in 1976 I was outside a co op in the town of linlithgow a scottish town, there was a empty case of sctch pies lying on the ground , and on the label, it said these pies contain Kangaroo! thats a fact I will never forget! I will do them in airfryer mode so they will hopefully be a bit crisper base and cook in shorter time hoping for a light crispness not hard with any luck.

Yes scotch Pie's. In the eighties I lived in Aberdeen for ten years and I really know about this stuff. All I can say is they look good. If you live in Scotland it is no use worrying about additives lol Also White pudding is great and of course Haggis which is all sold in the local chipper. . A NOTE. we used to get Morning Rolls/ Rowies, from every shop around. They were just the Bees. cant find them down here.(Essex). But I miss them. lol

Your a legend mate , keep it up my friend, proper food as it should be.

Thanks! I love a scotch pie, hard to find these days

U can't beat a jock pie with beans

Take a scotch pie, put on buttered roll, bap, barm….what ever it is in your part of world and put brown sauce on it. Taste sensation.😊

my mum was born in south shields She use to make her own in a large square dish we use to eat it with her panacalty it was gorgeous she passed away 10 years ago but i miss that meal so much

Great review Gaz they look pretty good and well packed which makes a change and just a thought with the new toy have a look on how much power it uses compared to a toaster just thinking off the pennies for you but it did a great job on the cooking off the pies keep up with the great reviews 👏👏👍👍

These need to be sent to the U.S. in midwest. Been craving a Scotch pie for over 20 yrs. I've had authentic way back when... this, seems close enough. ;) ENJOY!!

Bells pies have been in Scotland for ever . A favourite of workies is a pie on a buttered crispy roll ! Also find them deep fried in chip shops. And yes they are classically made form mutton and referred to as “mutton pies” and not “scotch pies” up here .

Thanks for reviewing these pies Gareth. They seem to be well worth trying. Cheers mate.

You know its good when there is silence and nod to the camera. great review.

Thanks again for your review mate, always a great and informative watch. I adore scotch pies, well, I would right enough, living in Scotland. I must of eaten thousands of the beauties but somehow I've never tried the Bells ones, but I will now. Mutton or beef filling, doesn't really matter to me. Just on their own or with beans or peas, wonderful things. Cheers.

Great review Gareth, I really enjoy the beef ones with veg, mash and gravy. The pastry may go slightly hard as the thickness varies from each manufacturing company.

Hi gaz , an old mate of mine used to love bells! His name was quasimodo!ha ha. But honestly i love a decent scotch egg. Ps m n s do some lovely ones. All best steve.👍

Can’t beat a wee pie these brands of scotch pies are tasty perfect for beans and chips tasty dinner

Good value. We love a scotch pie but I think your right about the mutton it normally has that 👍

Lovely honest and accurate reviews Gareth. Thank you chap.

Baked beans poured on top of two Scotch Pies is how most Scottish kids have been brought up. Hard to beat. No need for chilli just go with the standard ones.

Hi Gareth,someone has already mentioned parchment paper/grease proof for the pies but in general I would be inclined to use it all the time because air fryers like that quickly become stained with baked in food stuff 👍.

You cooked those really well Gareth. Bravo mate. Easier said than done, as many a chef will testify.

Thanks for this on my second box of chilli pies!

bells make good stuff,down in Wales for 4 years,miss my scotch pies, square sausage & tattie scones

mate me and my friends love watching your videos when having a bit of a scran.

Great review!! Look real tasty

Another I must try. *Outstanding food review video,recommend watching 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🔥*

Pietastic I'll be checking these bad boys out pronto,cheers!

Fab review. They so look really good value for anyone who likes a meaty pie. I much prefer the macaroni or the chicken curry version of the scotch pie. If anyone sees any of the big shops selling those locally i'd be keen to know

Mmmm I love scotch pies fresh out the chippy.. even had the battered pies.. that’s def acquired taste

I've subscribed love these pies am from Glasgow

Scotch pie in a Morton’s roll spread with thick Lurpak. Heart attack food, but delicious!

I think you will find the Aldi "Fraser " pies are exactly the same pie as Bells products are used for a number of the large supermarkets "own Brand" products and may I suggest you try one of their leading products the Plain or Iced Gingerbread its amazing.

They look amazing Gareth. Wish we had a farm foods in Norfolk. Going to Scotland in the camper next week. Might try the real things 😜

The was great, traditional scotch pies have crispy outer casing for texture as the pastry is left for 3 days to mature. Nowadays they are filled with Beef. Watch the KZfaq video, Scotch Pie Recipe - Paul Hollywood as he goes to a baker in Scotland who makes them.

Bells pies are pretty decent. I usually have one of their steak pies at new years (Scottish tradition having steak pie at new years). A thought for another type of pie you could try... have you ever heard of a Kilmarnock pie (formerly Killie pie but there was some legal wrangling over the name). They are really nice steak pies of a similar size to Scotch pies. They also have a different kind of crust. The pies are mass produced, but the manufacturer is a small independent bakery chain (Brownings the bakers). I believe they also took the crown of best Scotch pie at some point (so maybe you should try a Scotch pie from them one day too!)

Oh I do like a good scotch pie 🥧... and these do look really nice I've got to say. I'm going to have to go to my local farmfoods, which is in Sunbury,to buy some. As always another quality video Gareth..keep them coming mate.

Love farmfoods, my Grandma used to also

I think I'll try these, thanks G.

I always say, if you recommend anything, I will enjoy, I take your word, great review

Hi how are you you make me laugh thank you for that I need it luv your videos please 🙏 keep doing them ❤️👍
