Pieminister's gravy fondue experiment went viral, so they've added it to their restaurant menu
Pieminister has added a gravy fondue to its restaurant menu after fans on TikTok got behind the idea and demanded to try it. A feast designed for sharing, diners are invited to get their dip on with a hot, steamy pot of rich, thick gravy surrounded by a choice of delicious dippers, from free range British cocktail sausages, parsnip and kale fritters and onions rings to potato fries, Tenderstem broccoli and more.
Jon Simon, Pieminister Founder and MD says,
“We’d been experimenting with all sorts of potentially dippable delicacies to pair with our gravy and we’ve found that some things that seem so wrong to dip in, turn out to be so right – take the halloumi chips for example. Or our free-range British pork scratchings! One of the qualities of our gravy is its velvety consistency, so you get a really decent coating on whatever you plunge into the pot”.
“Our pie lovers’ passion for gravy flourished in 2022 when we launched our ‘It’s All Gravy’ pie feast with bottomless gravy, to raise funds for the Campaign Against Living Miserably. Thanks to the endless jugs we poured, the feast soon became a best seller, raising over £10.5K for the charity in just a few months. So having seen how much love and emotion gravy could stir-up, a savoury fondue seemed like an idea worth experimenting with”.
Available at selected Pieminister restaurants across England and Wales, the gravy fondue costs £15 which includes a hot pot of gravy plus three dipper portions of your choice, with eight dippers to choose from. Pieminister Classic Gravy is plant based and gluten free and with four GF dippers and five VG dippers, this new dish can be enjoyed by Coeliacs and Vegans. It’s great on its own, as a starter or to accompany any of Pieminister’s award winning pie feasts.
For those not near a Pieminister restaurant but keen to give this feast a try, dust off the fondue set lurking at the back of a kitchen cupboard and create your own gravy fondue at home. For the fully authentic Pieminister experience, you can buy their Classic Gravy through Waitrose, Ocado and Pieminister’s online shop along with Pieminister’s pies.
