The Plough in the village of Hickling is proud of its pies, so it's fitting that its challenge is built around them. You choose six of the pub's award-winning pies and they arrive with a mountain of mash, a slightly smaller mountain of peas and plenty of gravy. There's no clock to race, but you have to finish the whole lot in one sitting, on your own. The pub says most people don't make it to the end.

What you'll be eating

Six pies of your choice from the menu (Steak & Stilton, Steak & Stout, Chicken & Mushroom, Lamb & Mint, a vegan Cannellini Bean pie and a vegetarian Homity pie), with a huge pile of mash, peas and gravy.

What you win

Finish everything and the £45 challenge is free. You'll also get a T-shirt and your photo on the pub's wall of fame.

Strategy tips

It's a solo challenge with no time limit, but it has to be done in one sitting. Mixing lighter pies like the vegetable ones in with the steak pies can help keep you going.
