Pie and peas is a traditional meal in the north of England, consisting of an individual raised pork pie made with hot water crust pastry and served with mushy peas and mint sauce. The pies are normally bought rather than home-made. Pie and pea shops and stalls used to be a common feature on Northern streets, but these days it is more usually sold in Sandwich Shops and "Chippies". Some people prefer meat & potato or steak pies, but this is not traditional.

Pie and peas is a staple on the British football terraces and is popular amongst football fans served with mint sauce.^{[citation needed]}
