  I MADE THIS PIE LAST YEAR AND WILL MAKE AGAIN THIS YEAR ITS GREAT FOR HAVING AS PART OF A BUFFET, MY HUSBAND DOESNT LIKE THE FRUIT AND SAVOURY COMBO SO I USE SAUSAGEMEAT,CHICKEN AND SOME GARLICKY MUSHROOMS FOR MOISTURE, I THINK YOU COULD USE LOTS OF DIFFERANT FILLINGS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAND

  I made this a couple of days ago and found the recipe very easy to follow. The result was a great success. Extremely tasty and very festive flavours. When it came out of the oven, I quite fancied it hot. Maybe next time I will try it that way. Went down very well with our guests last night and I will certainly make this again.

  Can this be made using the left-over cooked turkey? Has anyone tried this?

  Now part of the family christmas tradition - this year with a little one arriving I made it ahead and froze it. Was still as good defrosted. Love it. I leave out the chestnuts now though, just couldn't taste them so not worth trawling the supermarket to find them.

  How far in advance could you make this? I am due to give birth on 1st Nov. so would ideally like to make it before then. Would that be ok?

  Has any one made mini pies with this recipe? I love it and have made it 3 years running and am about to make it again but thought I'd try to make small pies.

  At which point would this be frozen, before or after baking? I want to serve on boxing day but don't want to cook on Christmas day! Or would it keep if I made it Christmas eve?

  I am making this pie for the first time this Christmas and was thinking of freezing it, but am a bit worried that the pastry might go a bit soft? Can the people who have aleady frozen this pie tell me if this was the case or was the pastry ok? Thank you.
