Thanks for adding pictures!
I had my first at the weekend, from Choclatine Bakery on Wood St. in Walthamstow (£2).
I rate them anyway so would have been disappointed if they were crap, but they were great! Pastry which looks super thick but melts in the mouth and really excellent mince, sweet vs. tart ratio spot on and the kind of mince where you can identify each individual fruit (the icing sugar helps you see this in the picture - check out that definition!). I almost felt like I'd had one of my five a day by the end as they have a deceptively deep filling.
The butterflies on top are obviously controversial. Perhaps deliberately so. But I think these disprove the non-solid lid/star on top doubters (cough @Eejit cough). My Mum's have stars on top too and share a lot in common with this pie.
Not sure about star rating yet as I've got nothing to benchmark but my commute takes me past Pavilion...

Bought a box of Iceland's finest earlier & was pleasantly surprised - at 31.5p per mincer they're top value, gonna require most of my resolve not to have another one before the day is over.

Iceland LUXURY All Butter Mincer. I wasn’t going to bother with the Iceland ones, casually writing them off as being, well, Iceland, but we actually have a surprise contender here. Pastry is ok, a little under baked maybe right in the middle. The filling is tangy, slightly gooey and absolutely stacked with spice. I’m like 10 minutes after eating it and my tongue is still tingling with spice and citrus. Well worth a try. As with the ASDA ones, I’m going to have to side-by-side one of these tomorrow with a couple of others to put it in the ratings.
