The Black Friar is a Grade II listed pub in Salford that's famous for enormous pies, built to feed a table of four. They're there to share, but the pub has a challenge for anyone who fancies one to themselves. Polish off a whole giant pie solo, plus two hefty sides, in one sitting and the reward isn't a free meal but something many will prefer: your bar tab for the night.
What you'll be eating
One giant sharing pie, made to serve up to four, plus two large sides.
What you win
Finish the pie and both sides on your own and the pub covers your bar tab for the night.
Strategy tips
The giant pies need ordering and paying for at least 24 hours in advance. Pies start at around £65.
