Pie firm suffers northern backlash after epic gravy fail
10.
Alienate half the country with a targeted marketing campaign then alienate the target audience with an insulting attempt at gravy. Nailed it 👌

This is the kind of nonsense they give you in London when you ask for gravy. If you can put it through a sieve it’s not thick enough

‘Smothered’ more like washed out. How to make the north look shit. That is not pie, chips and gravy in any way shape or form. I can only think Hollands marketing people are based down south or have no budget or both. Sort it out Hollands.

They’re based in Lancashire (but owned by a company in Birmingham) so you’d think they would know what they’re talking about.
Anyway, they had a really long think, and came back with this.
We agree proper gravy should look like this! How thick do you like yours? #GravyGate 🤤 pic.twitter.com/y4BS7lZZnf

Getting there. Still a little bit too mobile for my liking.

Credit for the thicker gravy but your pie needs a bit of browning

Better, but now where have the chips gone?
