The plan was to drive three hours up through the Highlands to get to one of the most remote
Michelin starred restaurants in the world.
But due to a slight spanner in the works.
Well, not spanner in the works.
A screw in the tire.
Majorly pushed our schedule back.
So we're not going to make it to the Michelin star restaurant on time.
But on the plus side, last night when we were having literally one of the greatest nights
we've ever had on camera,
The lady who worked for the Butcher said that we should go to this Scottish pie shop.
So instead of going to a Michelin star restaurant, we're going to a Scottish pie factory.
Down the road.
Why am I somehow more excited about this?
I'm way more excited.
When they said pie factory, I don't think I was really imagining this building.
I genuinely don't know what to expect, right, because I don't believe any of the signs.
It doesn't look world famous.
No, I mean the Award-winning pies...
Like what award?
-Yeah exactly. -Do they make their own award?
Who is auditing these awards?
But everyone we've spoken to in the last 24 hours.
-Majorly bigged this up. -Have said you've got to go to this place.
That's true.
So they can't all be wrong.
The shop was deserted, but we thought we could see movement at the back,
So we walked round and knocked on the delivery entrance.
After a long while a man, who presumably is the Willy Wonka of pies came out and started
singing a song,
I’m just kidding, he said we could come inside and see the factory.
So in we walked, down a very dark and ominous corridor.
So this is where the magic happens, yeah.
Literally, everyone we've spoken to has said we have to come here.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you guys like the champions of pies?
In the World Championships?
And this is in the whole world?
-Yes. -And they lost to you?
Yeah.
Suck it!
And what happens when you win a thing like that?
Do you get a medal?
What do they serve?
How many pies do you make a day?
Do you still like pies or are you just over it now?
You just had too many.
And is there like industrial espionage, like with other pie makers sneaking in at night?
Reassured David wasn't Sweeny Todd, we headed round to the shop to see what all the fuss was about.
-Oh, my gosh. -That is a lot of awards.
You don’t have any more space on the wall.
Oh, there's even a trophy.
Oh wow!
I'm so excited about this.
I’m literally salivating.
What's your personal favourite?
To be honest with you, they’re all nice.
So, of course, we had to get one of everything.
Thank you so much, David, it's really nice to meet you.
Thanks, David.
All right, let's do this.
OK.
I want their most award-winning.
Steak!
So this won the Diamond Award, which is the highest award in the World Pie Championships.
Oh look at that, do the honours.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, it looks like a movie prop right?
So good.
It’s insane!
Guys, I can't get over this, British food can be hit or miss.
Something I've always loved and always thought we do really well, and you should
try to come to Britain are good meat pies.
But this is like even just looking at it.
You can immediately tell this is on another level.
Josh!
What?
Take a bite quickly because I want another bite.
That is hands down,
No question.
The best steak pie I have ever had.
Like, I can categorically say that.
There’s no competition.
There's no competition.
That is unbelievable.
It's like steak.
- No. - Hurry up, hurry up.
Stop talking.
Oh my gosh!
You destroyed it.
The pastry is so soft but crispy.
It's unbelievable.
It's hard to explain how good that is, but it's like the best steak in the best gravy.
Probably bloody Aberdeen Angus, isn't it?
In like perfectly cooked pie pastry.
Joel, try this, man.
That is unreal.
That is genuinely unreal
Do you know what I love about a pie?
It like hugs you.
It does it gives you a delicious…
It’s a mouth hug.
You know there’s French kissing.
This is English kissing, oh no this is British kissing!
Next up, there's steak and haggis.
How different is it going to be?
Oh my gosh.
Does it taste different?
Is it good?
I actually think I prefer that to the steak pie.
I can see the oats from the haggis.
And the steak pie was the best I've ever had
It just adds a little something else, a little something extra, just herbs, spices, flavours.
What? This is insane.
Genuinely.
Adam.
Oh, my days.
That's unbelievable.
I think we actually might need to go back and buy more pies because I want to keep going.
I don't want to stop.
Wow.
OK, that's graphic.
Definitely a Scottish kiss.
That’s like a taste that I've never eaten before in my life.
We should do the sausage roll, right?
Let’s Lady and the Tramp it.
It looks like a pastry from like a French patisserie.
No, what are you doing?
Just take a bite and then give it to me.
Come on.
I don't want to.
Take a bite and then give it to me.
Daggummit.
Gimme.
Wow, OK.
What is life?
It's a lot better than Greggs.
Are we going to have to come here if we ever want to eat that again?
We're literally going to have to come back here.
I need to bring Gabie here.
She can't not taste this.
First wife got here first.
I would Lady and the Tramp that with you over and over again if it means I get to keep eating it.
Shut up.
There's no one making us do it.
It is not a requirement.
You're an idiot.
OK, just give me.
Can I get a bit of the Lady and the Tramp going on?
Oh wow, that’s too close for comfort, Ollie didn't get any.
That is the perfect sausage roll.
If you could dream about the perfect sausage roll what it would be like,
It probably still wouldn't be that good.
Scotch pie, look at that.
What I love about this, it's beautiful.
But it also looks like it could have been made 1000 years ago and given to you by a
bonny buxom young lady.
OK.
through a stable window.
In the Shire.
After a little frolicking.
Some Scotch kissing.
OK, look. Take a bite.
I really want to try it.
Crispier.
That looks like a sausage roll meets a pie.
It’s all sausage.
What the heck.
That’s lovely.
Try this, it’s crazy good.
Why do you lick it before you bite it?
He licks it a little bit before he bites it, so gross.
What do you think?
It’s different, right?
Well, with the crust as well, it's banging.
Look at this?
The proper award-winning one, the best in the world.
That does kind of look like a Michelin star.
I can’t believe we literally almost missed out on this place to go to a Michelin star restaurant.
I'll take this over Michelin star food any day.
I think we can confidently assert that by comparison, the Michelin star restaurant that
we were gonna go to, would be utter crap by comparison.
Unless it was going to be the best Michelin star restaurant in the world.
Are they going to have the best pie in the world?
I don't think so.
David, you are seriously the Pie Master.
You're the Einstein of pies.
The Einstein of pies.
This is unbelievable.
Each one we've had, I've been like, that's the best thing I've ever had.
Oh, that's the best I've ever had, no this one.'
You were underplaying it.
I know all of your awards are on the wall.
But seriously, you need to be more enthusiastic about the pies. This is insane!
I know, I know. No, it's true.
I've got a new website made
We’ll link the website in the description of this video.
Everyone should make the pie pilgrimage.
That's what it's called now.
Piegrimmage.
Pie pilgrimage works better.
Piegrimmage!
If you say it louder it doesn’t make it better.
I'll leave you to it, guys.
Thanks, David. For your service to the world.
Yeah, genuinely.
This is the breakfast, right?
Oh, you got the breakfast!
So this was the Best Savoury Pie in the world in 2017.
Is there bacon in that?
There’s a layer of baked beans! That doesn't look like it would taste good, but it tastes incredible! - Is that an egg?
That's a fried egg!
There’s sausage on the side!
There’s sausage, bacon, egg and beans!
This is unbelievable.
It's a whole Scottish breakfast.
- In a pie.
I've never even heard of anything like that.
Beans, bacon, sausage, and egg.
This is unbelievable.
How did they cook everything perfectly and fit it in?
Literally never would have thought baked beans in a pie could ever be a good thing.
You'd think that the sauce would seep into everything, but actually all of the constituent
parts, they're not like integrated.
They're one by one.
And it actually, really, really works.
It really does.
It's like British food, but it's good.
It's not just good, Ollie.
It's like, best in the world.
What’d you get?
Black pudding and that’s chilli cheese.
And they’re hot!
We interrupt this video for a short message from today's sponsor which is...

Back to the video.
If you're wondering the answer to the question 'who ate all the pies?'
It was us.
Josh and Ollie ate all the pies.
OK, chilli cheese.
- Whoa! - Is it good?
It's the best chilli I’ve ever had by quite a way.
And that’s in a pie!
It's the best chilli I've ever had and it’s just chilling in a pie,
It's the perfect level of spicy.
-Cheese really works. -The cheese on top.
It does taste like a quesadilla but in puff pastry.
- Next up. - Steak and black pudding.
Can you taste the black pudding?
Yeah, you can actually see the black pudding in there
Black pudding for those of you that don't know is basically congealed pig's blood
with like oats and things like that.
That's a legit black pudding.
You can taste the congealed blood.
Vampires would absolutely freaking love it.
I actually think I prefer the haggis one to that.
I mean, how do you keep saying that, that is...
I mean, I don’t know what to say.
You know what I'm going to say at this point?
It's unbelievable.
Alright, last up.
Where does the apple pie originate?
With apples.
Go for it.
- Good? - The thing is...
When you're that good, at making pastry,
You can put anything in it and it's just amazing.
There's a double rainbow.
The best pies in the world are at the end of a triple rainbow.
Could we ask for a more poetic end?
Even God is like, 'Let's mark this moment.'
I love that the second we finished eating the pies this rainbow appeared.
Like 'Yes, now you have experienced my blessing.'
If you do actually come here, which everyone watching should at some time in their life,
you should make your way here.
You’ll drive up thinking you're in the wrong spot.
This is it.
Beautiful.
And the pies we just ate were beautiful.
This is a day of beauty.
I’m thankful to be alive, Ollie.
I'm just so happy. I'm so happy.
I’m just gonna go and bask in the joy
- of a pie filled stomach. - I’m gonna go buy some more pies.
Yeah, actually can we get some for the road?
Let's get some for the road.
