It was crumby for chef Tommy Banks when his van containing $30,000 worth of pies was stolen, but Michelin-starred chef has appealed to the thieves to donate them to people in need.
The refrigerated van was filled with 2,500 pies with a variety of fillings including steak and ale, turkey and butternut squash, Banks said.
He added that it had been “plugged in overnight” to keep the pies fresh.
He added that he had planned to sell the pies at a pop-up stall in the nearby city of York.
“I hope you don’t get any presents this Christmas,” he said in a separate post on his personal and business Instagram accounts.
