Scrumptious steak & stout pie

Gary Barlow's favourite food is the humble British pie and who can blame him – pies are both down-to-earth and luxurious, as well as super delicious, so I decided to cook him my version of the meaty classic, steak & ale pie. To make sure it's dark, rich and tastes amazing, use good-quality stout or dark ale and you'll be laughing.
