Good Review Gareth! if anyone wants to make them from scratch there is a chef on you tube called John Kirkwood and his recipe for "Scotch Pies king of Pies "is brilliant! I havent made them myself but I have done some of his recipes, I love his cheese and onion slices!

I've tried those pies and they're nice. There's something different about them compared to the Scotch Pies you buy in Greggs, but that maybe be something to do with cooking methods. Their sausage rolls, steak bakes and cheese and onion bakes are good too. I think the pastry used in Scotch Pies is called 'hot water pastry'.

My dad worked down the pits during the late 70’s/early 80’s and they all used to have a scotch pie in a roll with butter and brown sauce at meal time as it was full of energy and very tasty. I still do the same to this day and it never fails to taste amazing, love them 👍🏻

Thanks Gareth. I really love Scotch pies. Having spent many years living on the Isle of Skye. I know what a good scotch pie should taste like. So I'm eager to try these Gareth. Being Greggs, they should be very good. I'm not surprised they proved to be lovely my friend. Thanks for the great review !

We absolutely love your reviews in the O'Connor household!! If you like it, we go and buy it. You feel like a member of our family now and never miss a video

Your channel came up into my feed. And I thought I would check you out. I am an American living in the USA. We don't have these products here. But, we do have pot pies. Which can be either chicken, turkey or beef. It is interesting to see what our UK cousins are eating.

Stick then in a roll/bap (whatever it’s called where you are) brown sauce on top. Taste sensation 👍

Well I never knew that about the beans! Love a scotch pie 🥧😋 great review x

Hi there another fantastic review like always I haven’t seen them I was in Iceland today so I must’ve missed them a brilliant video

Have had these in Scotland freshly made at a bakery, was lovely and very tasty. Those Greggs ones look similar. Be careful, it's either your mouth or hands you burn, you see the funny side if it though, your going over and beyond for your Foodie viewers, thank you for your honest reviews.

I bought some 'Scottish Favourites' Scotch Pies from Poundland. As they were cheap I thought I'd read the ingredients to see what the meat content was. As they did actually contain some beef (and chicken!) I thought I'd try them. Didn't think much of the couple I had. Then I re-read the ingredients and realised I'd missed 'beef connective tissue' as one of the ingredients! The other 2 have remained in the freezer for the last 6 months!

That does look good! Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏 I was brought up up scotch pies, defo going to try and grab these next time I’m in town 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

They used to give you these on a Thursday in lewes prison back in the 1990s , you got one pie with cabbage and mash potatoes and gravy and was always one of my favourite prison dinners !!!!

I get a lot of the greggs stuff at Iceland found none of it bad, often goes on offer also , pasties are lovely, I always have beans with them, great video mate

Can't beat a good pie, especially when it's seasoned well. Our butchers do lovely fresh pie's made daily and also sugar free so suitable for diabetics. Great review cheers Gareth

Nice one Gareth will certainly be trying these next time I'm in Iceland. Can I say that the scotch pies baked in store at Morrisons are very good. The best scotch pies I have had came from Galloway's in Dumfries. Their steak pies are fantastic also. Galloway's also deliver all over the country!!

Gareth my dying wish would be to go to Gregg's heaven. I miss their sausage rolls and pasties. Gregg's needs to go international.

Thanks for making me laugh…you’re food sessions are much appreciated , you are a joy to watch and to listen too. Well done you. Your description of your falling pie reminded me of Tommy Cooper…! Mossie

Going to try these with beans. Since I started following you I have tried a couple of your recommendations and really loved them.

Hi Gareth sorry Ave not been on but was not well but OK now, Aww they are lovely with beans if not with a pot noddle really nice thanks for the video 👍

I used to buy Scotch pies off Greggs when I was growing up in Glasgow. I live in England now, must try them from Iceland 👍 thanks for the review.

Great review, glad subscribers are getting better. You're down to earth, honest. But get beans on Scottish pies. Even a touch of cheese.. Take care G and Family.

hello 👋 I did say before that icelands is great place to shop at well done ✔ always watching you even my children started watching you 😀 great work 👍

Cheers Gaz, I've bought some after seeing this...can't wait! :)

Glad you enjoyed it mate. If your ever in Central Scotland visit the Boghall Butcher in Bathgate. They are multiple winners of the world Scotch Pie Championship ( Yes such a thing exists ). You walk in the door and the smell of the pies just clogs your arteries instantly. What a way to peg it👍

The Scotch pie being a Scottish delicacy 🤣.. you need shove them in two buttered rolls smothered in brown sauce for full effect. They looked good can’t beat a good pie

I love greggs food at iceland my favourite is the bacon and cheese wraps with the sausage and bean bake... I have to try them pies 🥧 look bostin.. Great video bud

Looked nice Gregg's are tasty Best wishes gareth Enjoyed watching

I'm getting these tomorrow! You've convinced me!!

6:31 i’ve just checked wikipedia and apparently there are 7 Iceland’s actually in Iceland. Apparently there is some legal dispute over the name trademark.

They look spot on mate Definitely buying these

Hi Gareth hope all’s well. I’d’ve given almost anything to have been there to watch your string of catastrophes 😂😂😂😂😂 I bet the air was a lovely shade of blue 🤬 🤦‍♀️ 🤪 🤣 I’m glad you’re back in favour with the Scottish foodies again. They did look rather tasty 😋 Take care and stay safe 😘 xxx

I’ve had these, their not bad, I put them in for 30mins without preheating the fan oven which worked best ! You just can’t get scotch pies in England anymore, Morrison’s do them but always sold out, yes great with beans on top 👍🏻

You're so funny, really make me laugh. Love the review.

The pastry is made with lard in boiling water then you add it to the flour. Great review Gareth.👍

Scotch pies are beautiful Gareth! The pastry is lovely on them mate 😋

Love your foodie vids, excellent . Not sure if it applies to pies but I was told that with the Ninja, cook anything 25 degrees less than stated and halve the cooking time. Spot on!

There is a delicatessen in Brighouse, West Yorkshire who bake beautiful Scotch steak pies, they are filled with chunks of steak in a rich gravy, they are a totally different class to freezer shop so called Scotch pies.

Pies,beans and chips. My dad's Saturday dinner for decades. If it's Saturday It's pies. The chips were an added extra. Glaswegian childhood memories. Lol X K

I can get scotch pies at traditional old baker up the top of my road in the hot counter ,I'm lucky I suppose good review as per usual Gareth 🍀🇬🇧👍🏼 And I didn't know to put beans on top cracking 😋

Oh you mad me laugh Gareth, to be a fly on the wall when you were heating them up! They look not bad pal. A few foodies suggested a Killie Pie, which I had a couple of weeks ago and it was spot on. Another great pie is Morrison's Steak and Gravy pie, you have to eat it out the tin though if your outside. Great review as always, keep it up pal.

Hi Gareth. Sorry to hear you had a moment with the ninja. Yes it can be an issue with removing some hot things from inside it. Don't give up on it, your method needs a tweaking to master it's cons. Well the pies did look rather good even though one was "Decked". I wish the Scotch pie was sold here in Australia. Another great review today Gareth. Cheers 👍😀🇦🇺

Ohhhh fantastic, they’re on my Iceland list from now on! 😀

Not having the right tools to do the job and i know. When digging down inside i use a metal potato masher to slide underneath pie and can use a spatula to move it onto the surface and have your plate beside the Foodi and place it on it. Glad you liked the pies and understand a high countertop and high foodi and digging out food.

I've got alot of shopping to do at Iceland Been watching a few and Iceland seems consistently good, fave so far by your reaction - the Donner burgers! That sounds a great idea mate, a Friday quiz l'm up for it Will try these with the beans on top l think....bye for now

great vid once again.Made my own scotch pies last year with fresh lamb and beef(couldnt get mutton).Turned out spot on....cheers

I love Greggs, I was in Scotland in 2018 and had Greggs Scotch pies in Greggs @ Glasgow, they were nice. Your ones looked very nice, authentic, good filling and pastry. Price is ok. 9/10 from me apart from the deconstructed one, lol. Oven would be safer, brown all over and would not collapse. Yes baked beans on top would be nice. Perhaps some HP sauce on top. We need Greggs in Australia !!

You're a real character, i had to chuckle, sorry you got burnt but at least the pie you saved was worth it. Love the reviews.

Scotch pie is actually good with tomato or brown sauce but the beans is nice and beans and mash potatoes, nice with chips and a staple of Scottish chip shops deep fried but delicious or in a roll or on a plate with gravy and chips and peas Then you have the variants such as the macaroni pie which is a scotch pie pastry case filled with macaroni cheese & popular & there is chicken curry scotch pie by bells which is not bad tbh The Killie pie made in Kilmarnock is a delicacy there sold around western Scotland it's a scotch pie with premium steak in it & the vans from that company have the logo "say aye to a killie pie" keep up the good work & your positive vibes and never ending content make me laugh & forget about these shot times were all in😊

Gareth It would be interesting to compare a fresh Greggs Scotch Pie from their bakers (if you can get them down there) to the Greggs frozen Scotch Pies that you have just tested from Iceland. There are also Haggis Scotch Pies, which would be topical, as it is (Rabbie) Burns Day on the 25th January to celebrate his Birthday. Thanks for the food videos.

Looked pretty nice those pies!

You made me laugh 😃, you stress level was 100%, yes better to cook them in oven, I used my airfryer for nearly everything but didn't like pies or sausage rolls cook in it prefer doing them in oven. Great review can't wait to try them. X

I've always wanted to try a scotch pie... Might have to call into my local Iceland. Cheers Gaz.

Glad you like our pies from Scotland, you should try Greggs Sausage rolls from Iceland cheers 🍻

Hey mate great pie looks yummy 😊💯

You need to try Bells Scotch Pies,they are brilliant,I buy mine in Morrisons in Ayr Scotland,great video ,Greggs pies are nice

Mmmm love a scotch pie. My besties dad used get them brought down from scotland when i lived down south. He had mate who was a lorry driver. They looked nice. I tried the aldi soooo dry . Thanks for review

21.1k looking good going up nicely gaz

What a coincidence, just today got some, I love these pies, especially the genuine ones from scotland

That's probably the best looking chain Scotch pie I've seen outside of a local butcher here in Aberdeen, think I'll try one, nice one Gaz 👍

Gareth, you need to come up to Scotland, up to my local butchers to sample a real scotch pie. This is next level lol. At Christmas it were queued halfway up street. Another spot on review. Keep up the good work. Roll on Friday mate.

Scotch pies when done right are amazing best pies in my opinion and put some baked beans ontop with some hp sauce another great review pal 👍

Used to love getting a (Scotch) pie from the baker's at lunchtime when I was at school. You could get one of them, hot, local meat, locally made, and a wee bottle of juice for £1. Not that I'm getting old or owt lol

Great review! I miss Greggs Bridies but I’m not sure if you will have had them in England. Nothing worse than dropping a pie bit at least it wasn’t your drawers 😉 I’m tearing into Aldi’s steak pie 🥧 as we speak. Great value for money

Hi Gaz,, I have mine with chips,beans,and gravy,😋delicious,,love from Scotland

Brilliant spot on🤙🏻

oh dude cant believe you dropped ya pie, lets hope it didnt break ya toe lol, you crack me up dude. SPOT ON MAN

Will have to give them a try with the baked beans.Sounds tasty.x

Oh nice Garath ! They say good things come in small packages. These are worth the price full of meat .I will be having mine as a main meal with veg and gravy 😋 Thanks Lynda x

Great review Gareth I bet you are gutted dropping a pie 🥧 like you said they must be done in the oven .see you on the next one ☝️

Gareth, your videos are priority number 1 viewing! Hope you are all well. looking forward to another trip out, food with a view. get us out of the kitchen a bit more : )

Scotch pie with mashed potato on top and baked beans used to be sold like that in many bakeries etc in Western Scotland

A pie and a drink of Bovril at the football, food of the Gods 👍

Nice that you can even buy them! No Iceland I've been in in Leeds sells them! Only ones I've found are ready baked in Morrisons market street!

They are a cracking pie buddy had them prob 2 weeks back when I was looking for the filled yorky puds you reviewed

Glass of milk to wash it down. From Aberdeen loon. Love your channel.

I got some of these pies today and taste as good as they look on your video,a lot better than you would expect from greggs,iv always went by the rule,never buy a meat pie off a baker,except corned beef.

I've never seen them in Greggs either. I'll be picking those up when next in Iceland. 😂😂

Hi, I had real Scottish pies years ago on a Visit to Scotland, From a local bakery, They were Great, I'll go to Iceland tomorrow and buy Some, I'll let you know what I think of them 😉

Hi Iain here in south Africa u have family here to. I was born in scotland. Love ur videos.

Hi Gareth, I've not seen the scotch pies I'm going to have to get some for my Dave.... Bet me dad might like them too... I will be off to Iceland wknd for sure 😂 cheers Gareth xx

Theses I saw at weekend , straight back Saturday

Hi Gareth iam from Scotland. and the scotch pie's where I come from do have a few beans on with mash potato, they're bought like that 🤗

That looks pretty good inside. Nice one! I didn’t know that Scotch pies had beef and mutton filling.

Use to get a scotch pie at the football alongside a bovril hot 🥩 drink & then Mabey a Lee's macaroon bar to finish & a roll up

They looked ok them mate. Great vid

I have always found with most pie’s & pasties when you cook them they need to cool for half hour before eating them and then you can tuck in & get the full taste value without burning your mouth especially true for Proper Cornish pasties!

I'm sold Gareth!! Lol!! Quality over quantity!! Kx

Thanks for the review. I have a pack in my freezer, bought them at a reduced price. Know what I am having for my tea tomorrow, with some baked beans

Get a Killie pie get mine from morrisons known as kilmarnock pie my old home town. Cooked one in my airfryer came out perfect . Cheers mate enjoy your reviews

It's looked a nice pie good crispy pastry and plenty of filling. I think every ninja air fryer should come with a relaxation tape you looked stressed out of your tree at the end¡😂😂

Tried a Scotch pie years ago but wasn't overly impressed at the time, but looking at these I will give them another go now. Cheers fella. Funny how we always go back to the good old trusty oven eh? Haha.

You know Gareth I've never tried a scotch pie I haven't seen them in my Iceland but I'll have a good look next time I'm there 🥮

During lock down i watched the box set of Still Game and this pie was the only pub food served, least yours are Hot.

Also nice with Heinz Spaghetti Hoops on top👍

They look nice. For me though as with all pies and pizza I always cut the crusts/edges off. I just eat the filling mainly.

They really fo look lovely i like scotch pies with fried eggs on top its lovely

Hey Gareth!!!!! Only 16% beef, Only 2% mutton. I love my meat. If it can be done, I would want at least 50% meat. They look good though 👍 What part of the world 🌎 are you at? Im in USA 🇺🇸 Las Vegas, Nevada 🌵 🌵 🎰 🎰 🎰 Great review!!!!! I love your vids 👍 🎥 🎥 📱 📱 😊 🐄🐗 🐔 🐑🐟 🎣 🎣

I live in Aberdeen but am an Ayrshire lass and the pies up here are nothing compared to the ones back home. The best ones are from The Kandy Bar bakery in Saltcoats....always go in when I visit home and buy heaps to stock up the freezer! These are a close second though
