Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours or until
the meat is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Allow the meat to cool, add the mushrooms and fill a deep pie dish with
enough of the gravy to half fill it.
Roll out the pastry so it’s 1 inch larger than the top of the dish and
dampen the edges with water. Place on top of the pie dish without
stretching the pastry. Trim if necessary and knock up the edges.
