The festive season is upon us, and that means one thing: mince pies. But with so many options lining supermarket shelves and bakery counters, how do you know which ones are worth your money?
That’s where we come in.
A Proper Rating System
We’ve developed a comprehensive 7-criteria scoring system that leaves no crumb unturned:
- Packaging – First impressions count
- Christmas Feels – Does it capture the festive spirit?
- First Impressions – The all-important visual appeal
- Pastry – Crisp, buttery, or disappointingly soggy?
- Filling – Fruity, spiced, and generous?
- Overall Taste – The complete experience
- Value for Money – Worth every penny?
Each category is scored out of 10, giving a total score out of 70. No vague “4 out of 5 stars” here – we’re getting granular.
Find Your Perfect Pie
Our new search and filter system makes finding your ideal mince pie simple:
- Filter by store – Tesco, M&S, Aldi, Lidl, and more
- Filter by brand – Find reviews from your favourite makers
- Filter by type – Standard, Premium, or Bakery fresh
- Sort by rating – See the highest-scored pies first
- Price per pie – We calculate the true cost so you can compare fairly
