Elmsbury Chunky Beef Pies

Thought I might be lucky and enjoy a pie as described on the packaging. Thoroughly disgusting. Chunky Gristle fat and stringy sinew. The meat laws in this country are from 19th Century. Buying food as advertised should be what you get. Not this rubbish. I will never buy these again. Show details

Found bones x2 inside meat pie 1 about 2cm long and the other 1cm very sharp. Lucky it was an adult eating them and not a child ,Tried to upload video recording won't allow, Not purchasing them again.

Just gravy in pastry - or are they?! – Update: Changing my review from 2 stars to 4 because I ended up buying a couple more of these pies and they were fine. If my next lot are good as well then I'll assume I just got a couple that missed out on the steak in the production line, and I'll update to 5 stars. The slow cooked chunky beef pies used to be my absolute favourite pies. Good… Read more

price too. Now the price has gone up by a third and quality has gone down by 2/3. Calling them chunky beef pies is not only false advertising but blatant lying. They should now be called gravy pies.

Well always back for more! – Awesome pies really tastes so good. The beef tastes very authentic and the service are awesome too. Looking forward to visit here again!

Delicious pies – Pies are delicious. But the heating instructions are incorrect on the packaging. I’ve made at least five of the meat pies and every time, after following the instructions for our fan forced oven, and when I start eating I find a cold bit!! Something very wrong with the directions!

Less in box for party pies and sausage rolls mix – My father bought party pies and sausage rolls box, had 18 pies as the box says but only 4 sausage rolls. No contact number to make a complaint. Show details

Disappointing "chunky" beef pie – I read the reviews to see if I was wrong...no I wasn't. Only about 2 positive responses and mine won't make 3. Chunky WAS NOT chunky...1 piece of meat and a pastry full of less than flavoursome gravy. Aldi need to take note of this lack of quality and correct it. Show details

Stomach cleansing!! – The meat was mostly thickening and grissely but the Pastry was worse and like eating dried cardboard. Recommend a dried out rat instead!!! It’s now 5 hours since I consumed one of these disastrous imitation pies and I can testify to the fact that my stomach is groaning for revenge. If you’re constipated, I recommend one of these laxative pies. No prescription required!!!! Show details

What are people on that have reviewed these pies??!! For starters, these pies sell for $6.49 and Herberts Adams sell the same pies for $9 in Coles. These are so much better. I've tried both and these are better by a mile. Yes they're not the same as the picture but what food ever is??!! There is chunks of beef in these pies and the are delicious.… Read more

What do you expect for $6.50 in a supermarket freezer anyway?! In saying this, I think that the best frozen pies are the Coles brand 4 pack (do not get the 6 pack. Yuk)! But these are nice nonetheless! These idiots are giving fake reviews. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM!

Grounded Bone in Every Bite – This is the 2nd time iv bought these pies and the result was the same, tiny grounded bone fragments in every pie with every bite, so I gave It to the dog which was more suited........Word of advise use real meat in your pies and not bones.....Not buying again. Show details

Disgusting – pie was full of minced up bone fragments,absolutely disguisting, pet food would probly taste better.Pastry was below average,talk about a cheap pie Show details

Change them back to how they used to be please – This pies, especially the Angus beef ones used to be amazing and were our favourite however they have now changed the pies, the meat has alot of fat and the beautiful potato tops are now just squashed in and gross. I really wish the makers had a proper contact so I could provide direct feedback and beg them to make them how they used to be :( Show details

A Gristly Tale – I purchased the Elmsbury Angus Beef Potato Pies from my local Aldi store in NSW. My wife and I had them for dinner last night. They were very gristly! Which made for a unpleasant experience. My wife and I both scraped the meat out of the pies and just ate the potato and pastry. Show details

Quality gone down the shoot – These Elmsbury Angus Beef Potato pies used to be good. About 2 months ago they were the best meat pie around, but bought some yesterday & they have changed the recipe. It used to have nice beef pieces in it, decent gravy fluid, proper mashed potato on top & the pastry was light . Now pastry has not so much fat in it & more water, as is very… Read more

hard & brittle. Meat is substituted with poor quality mince, with gristley bits in it, poatao seems like processed stuff. I won't be buying them again if they remain poor quality like this has become.

More grissle than meat. Absolutely appalling – Package looks amazing until you unwrap and take the pies out of the oven and eat. The package sales 100% Angus beef. But don’t let this fool you. Worst pies ever eaten. So much fat and grissle. I believe I brought them from Aldi. I would say Aldi you should be ashamed in selling such poor food like this. My advise looking at the comments here and my experience, do not buy them you will be sadly disappointed.

Rubbish – chunky sous vide slow cooked pie disgusting at best! No chunky slow cooked beef to be seen, Just substitute by low quality mince, even my dogs turned their heads at it and just lifted their legs and peed on it! That’s saids a lot about your product. Show details

Pathetic – This is by far the nastiest pie I’ve ever had in my pathetic existence. It was raw inside and I was coughing up powder for hours. Never ever again will I touch these jokes of a pie. Pull your head in. Show details

Would never buy these pies again, do not deserve the title, chunky, – No chunky beef, just gravy mince, false advertising. Not very nice. Show details

party pies – just opened a box of your party pies....my god what a joke there half the size they used to be...won't be buying that product again.. Show details

Yuck!!! – smell and taste awful what little meat was un chewable I would not buy again Show details

Tasteless, zero gravy. Won't buy again – You get what you pay for. Only positive was Aussie made Show details

Excellent tasting Pie – I tried the Elmsbury Thai Curry Chicken Pie for the first time. It was a delicious, lovely tasting Curry Chicken filling, with crunchy but crumbly pastry. Totally recommended. Show details

digusting – My son was eating one of the classic meat for his dinner the other night and pulled out a HUGE long black hair ,why are'nt they wearing hair nets anymore . Won't be be buying these anymore....

"Finest ingredients" - human hair – Had the red curry chicken pie, was enjoying til about half way through when I gagged on what felt to be a hair. Reach into my throat to pull out a roughly 10 cm long black hair. DO NOT BUY Show details
