Icarus Hines

We headed to Swaffham for our first pie appetising walk of the month – a loop round the countryside north of Swaffham - not that extreme as we hadn’t been issued with jungle kit, so had no machetes to hack a path through the proposed route! A half-mile detour along the side of the A1065 had to be substituted. We arrived back at Swaffham at the church of St Peter & St Paul, unfortunately with no scratch dial and all locked up. We had a poor pint of Tom Wood’s at the Red Lion after visiting the Italian market then returned to the car to sample another new pie – the sixth new pie in a row. These were small hand raised pies from Icarus Hines of Sheringham. The meat filling was dark, slightly pink and had a fine texture. The pie was tasty with pleasant light crust, though Charles thought it a bit lardy, the filling was tasty with a definite presence of sage in the seasoning. The pies were well liked resulting in a score of 8.1 with a low standard deviation of 0.22361, so a normalised 8 for Icarus Hines small pies.
