M&S shoppers 'can't wait' to try new pie but they'd change one thing

Marks and Spencer has sparked a huge reaction from shoppers after launching its first ever steak and chips pie.

The new addition to the Gastropub range dropped on Wednesday, March 9 with many customers desperate to try the delicious beef-filled pastry topped with chunky chips.

As the product launched, M&S fans flooded WalesOnline's Facebook page with their thoughts, with many desperate to try steak and chips in flaky pie form.

"Oh yummy," wrote one, while another added: "Omg I need this in my life."

A third wrote: "That looks delicious," while a commented: "A trip to M&S this weekend I think."

And while many were keen to get their hands on the pie, others argued it had been ruined by its cheese topping.

The pie, which costs £5, is made with two-hour slow cooked braised cuts of British beef in a rich ale gravy, with a layer of smoky tomato chutney, encased in an all-butter pastry base and topped with cheesy chips.

"Lose the cheese and be yummy," pointed out one, while another agreed: "Why ruin it with cheese mun?"

"Without the cheese be perfect," stated a third.

While another asked: "Why put cheese on everything!!!"

"You lost me at cheesy chips," commented one social media user.

Another wrote: "Not sure about the cheesy chips, I think ordinary chips would be better."

M&S introduced shoppers to the pie on Tuesday night and said: "M&S shared a picture of the gorgeous pie on Tuesday night and wrote: "It's Pie Week! And, we have a VIP update (very important pie!!).

"Launching tomorrow, THE pie for you to try - and only to be found at M&S! Our NEW Gastropub Steak AND Chips Pie is hitting the shelves!"
