Won't make you poorly at all, the pastry may go soggy but the filling will be fine.

Mrs sqad says ...NO!
I knew she would.

I would eat it....I'd probably put it in the oven though as I think microwaved pastry is nasty

ummmm

It'll be fine.

No problem as long it is heated through.Don't know about a microwave.I reheat food in the oven at 230 c on a plate wrapped in foil for 10minutes.Comes out piping hot and not dry.

It’s fine the pastry will go a bit soggy and the kidney may go tough or explode. But if you cover in gravy it should be ok.
Oh and did this many a time after service when I worked as a chef

Tut this predictive text is getting more trouble than it's worth, I'm having to alter everything I type. Should have been two to one.
Thanks, Ummmm Danny and Islay. I'll cover it in foil first which should contain the exploding kidneys.

I usually reheat anything with pastry in the oven, to keep the pastry crisp. I cover it with foil, leaving an airhole. If worried, take the pastry off and put that in the oven and reheat the pie filling in the microwave (add a drop of water and ensure it is thoroughly reheated) then recombine. I do this all the time and have not, so-far, had any problems.

ladybirder, be sure that the foil is tucked under the edges of the plate.
