  I made this in advance last year, froze it before baking and it was lovely when cooked on Boxing day for the buffet. I put it in the fridge Christmas Eve to defrost. Took about 1hr and a half to cook once defrosted (at the temp stated in recipe)

  Made this last year with leftover turkey and homemade cranberry sauce from the christmas dinner. It looked very professional - like a shop bought pie - and was very tasty and filling. Am looking forward to it again during the week after!

  Really delighted to have found this recipe. I made it for a Christmas Eve buffet lunch and it not only looked very festive with its pastry holly leaves and berries on top, but all those who helped themselves to large slices were full of praise. My husband says it is delicious to eat cold, even on the fourth day! As a non-meat eater I look forward to adapting the recipe and constructing the pie with layers of veg and grains, perhaps with olives and feta or goats cheese as well.

  Made this ahead for Boxing day and it was a great hit! I made the chicken pieces smaller in order to make cutting it when cold easier. Will be a favorite in this house!

  I used this recipe this Christmas, on Boxing Day in Italy. It was fantastic and all my guests gave it the wow factor. Easy to make, I made it and froze it beforehand. Do try it....it not only looks good, it tastes so very good.

  Third year I have made this pie. Its a firm favourite with all the famil and looks so impressive on the buffet table. I cut the chicken into smaller pieces for ease when serving.

  Made this for the first time xmas 2010, enjoyed it but found fresh cranberries way too tart. Had another go for Boxing Day this year and used dried cranberries - perfect! It cut beautifully and got lots of compliments. Nice change to the usual xmas pork pie.

  I've made this pie several times now & it's a real winner everyone loved it, I made it for a Sunday buffet. It's worth making it a day in advance.

  This pie has become a family favourite, and I have now passed it on to my son who plans to make for his friends at St Andrews Uni before he comes back home for Christmas. I will have to make sure that mine is better than his! The great thing about this recipe is that it can be tweaked to make into a summer picnic pie.

  Disappeared completely in less than 15 mins with 4 people! Very tasty and impressive, but pretty foolproof, even if you make your own pastry.
