About Fray Bentos
What sets Fray Bentos apart is the ease of preparation: simply pop the tin in a saucepan of simmering water for 40 minutes, and you're rewarded with a steaming hot pudding ready to slice and serve. Pair it with creamy mash, mushy peas, or steamed veg for a proper British plate. They're not just nostalgic; they're practical for busy lifestyles, campers, or anyone who appreciates ready-made quality without the hassle of baking from scratch.
Sourced directly for freshness, our Fray Bentos range ensures you get the authentic taste – flaky pastry, generous filling, and no artificial preservatives. Perfect for winter warmers or midweek suppers, these puddings embody hearty, honest eating. With just two core products in our collection, it's all about that timeless Steak and Kidney favourite, but the satisfaction is unbeatable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I cook Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pudding?
Place the unopened tin in a saucepan of boiling water, ensuring it's fully submerged. Simmer gently for about 40 minutes, then carefully remove using tongs. Let it rest for a minute before opening and serving. Always use a saucepan large enough to prevent the tin from touching the bottom.
Are Fray Bentos puddings suitable for vegetarians?
No, the Steak and Kidney Pudding contains beef and kidney, so it's not suitable for vegetarians. Fray Bentos does offer vegetarian options in their wider range, but this collection focuses on the classic meat version.
Can I microwave Fray Bentos pies?
Fray Bentos recommends steaming in a pan for the best results to achieve the perfect pastry texture. Microwaving is not advised as it can lead to uneven heating and soggy pastry.

Unopened Fray Bentos tins have a long shelf life of up to 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, consume immediately or refrigerate and use within 2 days.
