Jason, 33, explained: “We thought steak and ale was a popular pie so if we took out the ale and put in Buckfast.
“It made a really nice, sweet-tasting gravy and since then it has just got more and more popular. We asked Buckfast if it might be possible to get their backing.
“I didn’t think we had a chance but they came out and took some of the pies away.
“We’ve been working behind the scenes with them ever since to get products right.
“This means we can use the logo and they test every new product to make sure it’s up to their standards before we can release it."
