I don’t work for Lidl but I am mostly impressed with their food and I have been shopping there over twenty years. They don’t go in for fakes or copies but there stuff is usually quality.
Silicon sheet rolls from Amazon. They last for a long time, and protect your backing trays and airfryers, micorowaves etc. LIDL Frikadellens. Ready cooked sausage meat and nicer and cleaner than bangers - microwave in 1minute. Fried brekkie, or with chips and beans, or with mash and onion gravy, green peas or cabbage and beans
I am a Lidl fan as it has a good bakery and teh shop is a reasonable size so takes shorter time to find all the items I want. I then look down the middle aisles and buy all sorts of tools and garden bits. Yes , good value for a pie. Glad you liked it.
Always the same complaint -- not enough beef. What you need is a proper beef Wellington; I wonder if those turn up in the freezer section. Me, I'd like a pile of steamed broccoli on the side, with a light cheese sauce. Maybe caramelize some onions to put on top of the pie, while it's baking.
Well its 1264 calories per pie. Each lb of fat equates to 3500 calories. Assuming a daily calorie expenditure for a sedentery lazy man at about 2200cal/day (2000 for woman) You would have to consume 14,000 calories over your maintenance to gain 4lbs of fat. So for an average sized man thats about 16,200 cal in 1 sitting or 12.8 of these pies.
Sorry for saying it again Gareth in them air fryers come ovens you don’t take any notice of the temp all ways take 20 degrees of IE 180 and take 5 minutes of the time then probe it if you wish good vid mate
Good review Gaz, I want one! Also I love that you have a dining room. Our dining area is at one end of the main living room which is nowhere near as good.
Good review Gaz.MandS used to do a Tin of Chunky Steak in gravy that was so good for making pies with.They still do it but the tins are half the size they were now and some reviews say it's nowhere near as good as it used to be.
Lidl beef pies are really good and great value. It’s worth going for the ones in the chiller than the freezer. Will definitely check out the beef dripping one. Thanks again for the heads up on what to buy
Bought some space raiders onions ring from Iceland, cooked them up yesterday in the air fryer and they taste absolutely mad 😂 Would love to see you review them!
A great looking pie for £2.69. It would do me two meals once I add some mash and some veggies. Beef dripping will really bring out the flavour of the meat. You had my mouth watering with this one m8 🤤🤤😋 And best of all ? I have a Lidl’s within a few minutes walk from home. Up until recently I did do quite a bit of shopping at the Co-Op local. Now I’m beginning to get more active I will be doing my shopping in Lidl. Co-Op prices have become ridiculous. On one visit to Lidl per week to stock up with the usual items for me, dog and cat food, treats for them etc ? I reckon I saved about £50. I can’t believe how prices compare. I’ve always done my main shopping in either Lidl or Aldi. I know people who wouldn’t shop in either store as they think cheap prices gets you cheap products but I disagree. Plus I love the weekly promotions based on various countries, like Greek foods, Polish foods, French and Italian foods. Anyway I’m waffling on again. Great review Gareth keep them coming.
@@BaldFoodieGuy Damn!!!! Went to Lidl tonight and they had sold out of these pies. Promised they will be back in soon. I would love to see the return of steak and kidney pies though. They are truly scrumptious. But I did manage to get a liver and onion ready meal, so all’s well. 👍🏻👍🏻
Tell you what that pie looks proper banging mate,will deffo be having to try this one,don't usually go to lidl but will for this pie,hope your heartburn goes quickly matey 😄😆,keep well and safe as always.
4:30 just a pointer but at 2:24 it said to place foil tray (ie, the pie in its foil tray) on baking sheet/tray it did not say anything about kitchen foil (or in your case baking paper)
Thanks for sharing this.. Lidl is my closest shop.. that definitely would look great sitting on top of a portion of chips so that once chopped open the gravy would make the chips taste beautiful 👍👍 thank you 👍👍
I love lidls food especially the different cuisines they show case each week such as Spanish, Greek, Italian, Thia etc. You could spend a little time trying out the different cuisines on your channel. I stopped shopping at Asda because of the hike in food prices, and I now get to taste world foods into the bargain. I'm saving money each week and each month qualify for 10 per cent of my shop, as they say every little helps
When you mentioned the price Gareth, I thought yep, its Lidl on price I don't think, and sure enough when you opened it up, as usual it was mostly pastry. Seems to have tasted good so I suppose it might be worth a try. Thanks for a great review though 😊👍
£2.69 ... obviously quality pie incoming! LOL watching.... eek- the dreaded palm oil and rapeseed oil in there again. 26% beef. wow... pushing the envelope there (not).... as a side line, I love these warnings: Today I bought some peanut butter, and the allergens included "may contain traces of nuts". Yep, that's nuts! Mostly pastry... but you seem to be enjoying so I can't knock it.Except for the low fill as ever with these pies.
Would have liked to have seen maybe a touch more beef and no water in the bacon but that aside it looks a very decent pie. Full of saturates but that is pies whatever pie it is. Seems half way, not enough for two and a plateful for one but the gravy looked pretty good, hats off to Lidl mind for the effort.
Sat at the table you looked like Desperate Dan 🤣 I had their chicken and mushroom version a couple of months back… very nice they were, the steak looks better…
Pies in Aldi Iceland and Lidl all seem equally scrumptious, & Aldi’s triple chips are unbeatable. Having said that my local Aldi, last one before Lands End, appears to stopped stocking pies. As for Tesco’s pies, just don’t buy them, check the feedback.
Spot On review as always Gareth, That looks really good,lil bit mash potato 🥔 and Marrowfat peas. When you sat to eat, I was rubbing my screen to get rid of a smudge,(Easy) but realised its a mark on your door..😂😂😂😂
Seen this the other day in Lidl picked it up and put it back wasn’t sure???? But after seeing this will be buying one! Thanks for the review! Love a Pie! Cheers!!
A friend's husband is the Director of a food production company that makes ready meals for various supermarkets. His exact comment was .... "None of the production staff shop at Aldi, Lidl, Iceland etc which should tell you everything about the contents". I do know they use a lot of fillers and chemical additives. I love to cook so usually batch freeze homemade otherwise, the only ready pies we eat are from Cook.
If they do a beef-only version I'd certainly go for it! I love bacon and beef, but I'm always a bit disappointed when they're combined in a pie or a burger. They taste fabulous enough on their own.
Anything with Beef Dripping has to be good. The more the better. Never buy Chips if they havent got Beef Dripping in them these days. They are moist and not as dry as sawdust.
Really enjoyed watching, almost as much as you enjoyed savouring the pie!! I will buy one of these, Lidl is my favourite go to store. Take care, from one baldie to another.
I can see another day trip to Lidl coming soon 😂👍, they do lots of different pies, both large single and smaller double pie boxes. Didn't know about this pie so I'll pop in my local Lidl and see if they have any. Thanks for the review, great as always
I've got that same Breville cooker, use it for everything, hardly ever use my main oven. Fun fact, when 'Air Fryer' became a thing, Breville took this cooker, removed the 'Cookies' selection and replaced it with 'Air Fryer'. And charged and extra hundy for it.
Gaz just a little tip for you as you mentioned heartburn I'm the same with pastry please try the Home Bargains heartburn syrup it's Aniseed flavour and half the price of the Gaviscon and tastes great , nice pie review by the way
To be honest that looked a good pie ,chips and beans and your sorted ,ill add that to the list to buy Yep a 1person pie that lol Good review mate .Cheers
nice revealing review! Oh yes. Compared with the obvious reference, the classic tinned fray bentos jobbie, I think this looks like a decent ready-made meal.
I'm always wary of being disappointed by bought pies, but this looks good. And TBH if you take a bite of pie and think: there's dripping - there's probably too much! Cheers as ever mate.
Glad they are warning you about the dripping gravy finally, I actually had one of these for lunch last week and bite into it and the piping hot gravy dripped all over my spanking new white Air Max!!!! Not even Vanish can get that stain out, nice pie tho 👍
@@rhylmartWot? Wot do you mean …., I maybe young and dumb but it clearly says “dripping gravy” Wot else could it mean then? You sound like you got an idea so educate us youngerz 💡
Had that pie last week Gareth, tasty enough but the filling was sparse, I was counting the pieces of beef, tiny, not enough👎 Had their small pies, they were good and pretty full👍
I don’t work for Lidl but I am mostly impressed with their food and I have been shopping there over twenty years. They don’t go in for fakes or copies but there stuff is usually quality.
The beef was more generous than I thought it would be. Looked very tasty. 😊😊
There's a chicken and vegetable version that's really nice too.
A vegan stock in a steak and beef dripping gravy pie; the worlds gone mad!
Well at least my daughter can lick the gravy of my plate when I've finished ha ha.
...apparently, or so i''m told, it's basically 'vegemite/ marmite' ... yes, the world has gone mad...
Worlds gone madYeah look at ukraineand the m.e😮
Dunno what “vegan stock” is but I can guarantee it costs less too make than beef stock-its not mad it’s profit 😉

Serve with oven chips and peas, not a bad meal!
It’s a great pie and a load of beef dripping chips with it would be fantastic.
Some potatoes and vegetables with gravy and you have a huge dinner
Lidl’s deluxe range is pretty good and good value ❤
We used to fight over the beef dripping leftover from Sunday joint to spread on toast as kids ..yummmm

Looks decent for the price, a supermarket pie that's worth buying for once.
Cheers Sly, yes pretty good, tasty
Lidl pies are decent. Chicken one they do is tasty to
After it was cooked, it seemed to be two layers----first layer of air, second thin layer of "meat" etc.

Lidl Deluxe pies are all pretty good , the chicken and leak one especially.
Think I'll give that one a try next time I'm down at Lidl. In the meantime you've made me hungry so off to the kitchen.
4:30 just a pointer but at 2:24 it said to place foil tray (ie, the pie in its foil tray) on baking sheet/tray it did not say anything about kitchen foil (or in your case baking paper)

Fry my chips in beef dripping 😋
That looks good for the price, thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

Those look really good Gareth. Be nice with chips or a bit of mash. Yum!
Of us indeed
That pie looks really lush. Could have a go at that right now with a nice side of buttery mash. Thanks Gareth!
Hope you enjoy
I thought you said 'bacon tray' and imagined a tray that didn't need washing but could instead could be eaten after use 😋
Really enjoyed watching, almost as much as you enjoyed savouring the pie!!
I will buy one of these, Lidl is my favourite go to store.
Take care, from one baldie to another.
Glad you enjoyed it cheers
Another fantastic food vlog. The pie looked delicious with a few homemade chips added and peas. Perfect meal. ❤

Yes it's rant good isn't it
in all my 71 years that's the first time I've heard of beef dripping gravy made with meat juices yes
That gravy lava flow was impressive.
Tip for you.
When using Baking/Greaseproof paper, 'scrunch' it up then flatten it out and the paper then does as it's told.😊
Cheers
I bet you were a right laugh to serve with! I have now got to go and buy that pie lol
It should state on it "Beef, PORK, and beef dripping pie"!
Hi Gareth, Thanks for sharing your pie looks so nice 👍✨🙂
Oh dear not so nice then I definitely won’t be buying this one
My pleasure 😊

I like Lidl and it's always nice visiting a brand new store.
Looking forward to more Lidl reviews, shame they don't offer a delivery service.
You should sit down at the table more often. It was very enjoyable to watch.

Gareth thanks for posting this review, I am Lidl tomorrow to get Flymo and strimmer offer so will pick up a couple of these as well.
Hope you enjoy it!
Defo have that for the TWO OF US as a main meal, NOT for one😜 Looked really scrummy, Gareth😋
I had this about 10 days ago, and I thought it was lovely and really tasty. Had plenty of meat and was almost like the pastry was suet based.
Thanks for review, I am going to buy and try for myself 😂
Can't beat a steak pie. Just had an Aberdeen Angus one from ALDI.
They always look great on the box £2.69 for 2 pies , id be happy with them ✌️
