Based on the success of its pop-up pie shops in London and its first pub takeover, premium pie maker Higgidy is introducing a new Higgidy Pre-Match Pie & Pint Pop Up experience specifically geared toward sports fans. As sports matches go on, fans need places to gather and refuel before, during and after highly anticipated tournament events, and the one-day Higgidy Pre-Match Pie & Pint Pop Up in Shoreditch invites fans to stop by for a Higgidy pie for just £2 or a pie and pint of Guinness for £5.
For game day and beyond, Higgidy offers a range of hearty options, like Slow-Cooked Steak & Guinness pie, featuring British beef in Guinness-onion-herb gravy within a buttery crust.
