Massingham Brothers of Hoveton

A good boggy walk, well the first half, around Aylsham worked up our pie appetite. The second half of the walk after a pint of Adnams and with two water towers to admire, the 180,000 gallon Anglian water tower and the St. Michael’s Hospital water tower at the former workhouse, returned us to Bure Valley Railway Station car park, to sample, post Canapés, pies from Massingham Brothers of Hoveton (last sampled on the 3rd June last year and #4 pie of the year, #5 All time pie). The pies having a good appearance disappointed a little this time, only scoring 7.8125 – so a normalised 8, with quite a high standard deviation of 0.9613. Previously the pie had scored a normalised 9! Apparently, the pastry didn’t hit the spot with some, though I enjoyed it some, though I enjoyed it.
