Firm festival favourites over many years, our patio just wouldn't be the same without The Crusty Pie Company - and we're delighted to welcome them back once again. Travelling all the way from West Yorkshire, they'll be offering their famous pies, pasties, scratchings and other snacks. From delicious traditional flavours like the original pork pie, meat and potato or steak and ale, to more adventurous offerings like sweet chilli, wild boar or chicken Balti, expect some difficult decisions as you consider what to pair with your beer! Plus, as usual, the Crusty Pie team will be offering pies to take home too.
