Peaky Blinders pies the order of the day at Black Country restaurant
A popular Black Country restaurant and pub has revamped its menu in time for the final series of The Peaky Blinders.
Diners at Tipton-based Mad O’Rourke's Pie Factory will be able to enjoy the Peaky Blinders Pie and Thomas Shelby Stew, which go on the menu as the final series of the popular programme launches.
Sat on a bed of minted mushy peas, the Peaky Blinders Pie will feature locally made pork faggots, smothered in a rich onion gravy, all topped off with creamy, piped mashed potatoes.
The Thomas Shelby Stew features chunks of tender beef and seasonal vegetables, slow cooked in Mad O’Rourke's famous gravy.
Mad O’Rourke's is just down the road from the Black Country Living Museum, where much of the Peaky Blinders series was filmed, and owner Peter Towler said he wanted to offer diners the full Black Country experience ahead of the new series.
He said: "The popularity of The Peaky Blinders over the last few years really has helped to put the region on the map and as a result we’ve had lots of customers visiting us, sometimes dressed as their favourite character, to get a true taste of the Black Country.
"With the final series about to air, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to offer customers the full experience.
"With that in mind, we’ve taken some of the region’s best ingredients, like our locally produced faggots, and created recipes that wouldn’t have been out of place on the Shelby family’s dining table."
The Peaky Blinders Pie and Thomas Shelby Stew are available for diners at the Mad O’Rourke's restaurant now, or, for those wanting a taste of Black Country fayre at home, Mad O’Rourke's classic pies are available on madpiesonline.co.uk for home delivery through the Pies by Post service.
