Londoners got a taste of the nation’s favourite pies as broadcaster Roman Kemp and cook Lisa Faulkner teamed up to turn their hands to pie making at Easy Peasy Pie Shop.
Dished out for free by Roman and Lisa in East London, punters picked from a selection of the nation’s favourite pies, including steak and craft ale, chicken, ham and leek, and jackfruit and craft ale. The pie recipes were curated by Lisa, who is famous for her homely and easy peasy cooking style.
The pie shop, located in the heart of London’s East End, opened its doors to celebrate the launch of One Touch Switch, which makes switching to Vodafone’s Reliable Full Fibre Broadband for less as ‘easy as pie’.
Vodafone’s Easy Peasy Pie Shop opened for one day only at New Inn Yard, Shoreditch, serving free pie on a first-come, first-served basis.
For every pie given out, Vodafone will make a donation to its charity partner Trussell, an anti-poverty charity and network of food banks, which provide emergency food and practical support to people facing hardship.
Lisa Faulkner, actor, food writer and easy-cooking advocate, said: “Who doesn’t love a pie? Keeping things simple in the kitchen is a priority for me, so they’re a family favourite in our house – easy to make and comforting at the same time.”
Over half (56%) feel ‘stuck’ in their contracts and, as a result, are missing out on savings, while 15% admit they’re spooked by the switch, a quarter (25%) actually say they want to make a change and would do so if the process was easier (70%) or if someone could manage it for them (75%).
Pie-enthusiast and broadcaster, Roman Kemp, said: “When I was asked to help serve up delicious pies, I couldn’t say no… pies are a staple for me, whether I’m at home or at the footie, so I couldn’t resist the chance of learning the art of making them and getting my hands on one for free.”
BT customers moving to Vodafone can save over £223** and, to make it even easier to switch, Vodafone will offer up to £100* towards contract exit fees.
One Touch Switch has been designed to make switching broadband easier. New research shows 63% of Brits have put off switching providers for the last four years because of the fear of being without internet (27%) and the switching process being too much faff (20%).
Vodafone UK’s Rob Winterschladen said: “Thanks to the launch of One Touch Switch, switching to Vodafone’s Full Fibre Broadband for less really is easy. All people need to do is give us a call or go online, and we’ll manage the whole switching process for them.”
