The secret of a good pie lies in having good pastry. The only way to have good pastry is to make your own. Once you've got that sussed, the rest will be easy.

Easy to say when your mrs makes it!!!

But you are right mate. My Mrs makes a ham chicken & leek pie with hotwater crust - omg it forgives all her sins!!

Basically what @Kjf Says with a red wine gravy.

* 1 kg diced venison
* 200 g smoked streaky bacon, chopped
* 2 onions, diced
* 2 carrots, diced
* 2 celery sticks, diced
* 3 cloves garlic, crushed
* 2 tbsp plain flour
* 500 ml full-bodied red wine (Merlot, Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon)
* 300 ml beef or venison stock
* 2 tbsp tomato purée
* 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
* 2 bay leaves
* 150 g chestnut mushrooms, halved (optional)
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tbsp butter
* 1 tbsp olive oil


Give it a good mix, get the venison in decent chunks and browned, make your stew, bang it together. Don't cock up the crust!
