About Private Pie

Welcome one and all.
Something wonderful is afoot. Something secret. Something like a secret club for people who bake and eat pies, based in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Date of the first meeting announced!

The date of the first meeting of Private Pie will be
10th December
at 3-5pm

The venue will be a secret sanctuary for coffee lovers in the heart of Newcastle City Centre.

The theme is:
your Go-To Pie. 

Do you have a reliable pie recipe that you use time and time again? Or a particular type of pie that you turn to when in need of comfort? Is there an old family recipe that has been passed down through generations? Or do you just really want to try a recipe you have seen? We want to try and enjoy your go-to pie.

Places are limited so make sure you book your place quickly. To reserve your place, send us an e-mail at privatepieclub@gmail.com, and let us know if you would like to bring along a non-baking guest, and what pie you are going to make (although this can be decided later). You will receive an e-mail 24 hours before the event advising you of the venue.

You can make a sweet or a savoury pie, but please note that it needs to be big enough to feed 8-12 people.

Hope to see you soon.

Private Pie Developments!

And so the arrangements for Private Pie continue. There has been rather a lot of excitement as our followers on twitter and facebook continue to mount up, and we've also had some interest by e-mail too.

We are hoping to get a guest speaker from a local pie company, and we have some venues and dates in mind.

Now that I'm back from my holiday, Nancy and I are going to get our heads together next week to come up with some Pie Club rules, and of course we will have to go on some reconnaissance missions to various pubs and cafes to "check out" the venues. Such a hard life...

Any ideas for rules for Private Pie Club? let us know in the comments or send us an e-mail at privatepieclub@gmail.com or tweet us (@private_pie)
