Morrisons ‘The Best’ Deep Filled All Butter Mince Pie Review 2020
Overall rating: 2/10
Price per pie: 35p
Review: These very tall pies look suspiciously like the bakery pies ASDA and Co-op have had great success with over the last few years (a raft of 9s and 10s no less). Have Morrisons managed to copy a winning formula?

Overall rating: 8/10
Price per pie: 17p
Review: A standard mince pie from Co-op….we’ve been here before. The last mince pie I reviewed in 2019 was Co-op’s standard mince pie. I needn’t remind regular readers what happened there, but for the new or uninitiated – it was an *abomination*.
