Every day there is a different selection of fat golden creations to get your teeth stuck into.

Past hand-pressed favourites include everything from beef and ale to curried squash, okra and cashew nut

Pork pies from Waterall Butchers, the Moor Market

To lean over the counter at Wateralls is to smell the unique scent of a fantastic pork pie. They come in many sizes, with the large just £2.60, and apparently 200,000 are sold each year.

Stilton or cheese and pickle toppings are popular.

For those who can’t snap them up in bulk at the source, they are also on sale at the newest micropub on Ecclesall Road, Portland House.

Many city centre workers wait for Wednesdays with glee, eager to snap up a £3.50 special slab of steak pie.

They come drowning in gravy and peas.

Another Tuesday hotspot, this pie and steak, night was started by Gordon Ramsay when he revamped the city centre restaurant.

Diners can get two pies with all the trimmings - peas, chips and gravy - for just £10 on Tuesday nights. That’s cheaper than the chip shop.

Buttery pasty is truly packed from bottom to top with solid filling, often there is a tiny pastry animal on top. Choices change daily.

In the past the chicken with wild mushroom option has impressed, with fragrant tarragon and thyme plus nutty mushrooms. More recently a chicken and chorizo was on the menu.

Small warning - they came with pie toppings, rather than all-the-way-around pastry.

Steak and ale, Ye Olde Mustard Pot, Midhopestones

A proper country pub selling proper steak an ale.

An ideal stop off after a country walk - and if you need to sleep off the pastry they do rooms too.

Meat and potato, Waggon and Horses, Langsett

Take a drive out to Langsett and sample one of the many pies here.

The meat and potato has been on the menu, and a favourite, for an incredible 30 years.

Its hearty beyond belief. Best eaten in front of the fire.

Steak and kidney, Cafe Pie, South Road, Walkley

No prizes for guessing what they serve at this retro venue...

There’s a wide variety of fillings, from family recipes, but regulars rave about the steak and kidney.

Pies cost a bargain £3.50 with mushy peas and red cabbage.
