When it comes to good old British grub, it doesn’t get more classic than a traditional pie. And, according to new research by one popular online pie retailer, when it comes to the nation’s favourite, a rich, gravy filled steak pie still takes the top spot. 

Known for their traditional Black Country recipes and quirky pie names, the team at Mad O’Rourkes Pie Factory in Tipton - which delivers pies nationwide through its Mad Pies Online pies by post service - analysed over 10,000 orders from pie fans up and down the country to determine which flavour came out on top.

New research by Prezzo, to launch its ‘Summer Like You Mean It’ campaign, has revealed the top signs it is summer in the UK, with the smell of BBQs cooking in gardens taking the top spot with 45 percent of the vote.

Also, to make the list of quintessential British summer traits was the scent of freshly cut grass (40 percent), a classic Mr Whippy ice-cream with a flake (38 percent) and everyone complaining about how hot it is (38 percent).
