Good news Pie Man........

Dave, you need a Johnston's pie (Toxteth) and a Lings fish toast (also toxteth) to complete your list.

Bell me when your next in the area for directions.:thup:

BTW - best sausage rolls are sayers Veggie sausage rolls, honest, there better than the meat ones - am I an infidel?

Fish toast? Is that what it says on the Tin.. Fish on Toast :eek:

Sounds like it should be on the list with Butter pies and Pea whet and Scraps ;)

Ive never rated Sayers Tbh, As BPM said.. A serious lack of filling, all pastry and no action.
As a pie Connoisseur I'm more into your independant bespoke artisan pie producers :D

Although you can't really go wrong with Greggs.

Maybe int Th'wigan its Pey. I've never had it but growing up I used to hear the local Herbert's asking for Chips pea whet and scraps Whilst I was dining on Lightly battered Cod, chips, Curry sauce and a BBC.


There you go.. This'll get your Wigan taste buds going, Just in time for A Wigan brunch :D

Greggs is not a pie shop, they do not do pies!
 
Greggs - an embarassment to the name mate. Dreadful stuff.

Anyroad, Dawsons and Whittakers in Tyldesley are good, if you ever have the misfortune to be in these parts.
I'll agree with Bluewolf on the Gallloways - decent stuff.

I'll try most pies, but cheese and onion - what's all that about ?:mmm:
 
Greggs are good for your basic pastie type of scoff. Quick food on the move. They tend to stear clear of pies, bit messy to eat when you are walking. When I first moved to the NE as a student the Greggs cheese pastie was an absolute lunchtime staple. They make no claims about pies and I am not even sure if my local Greggs has pies in. If you want a decent pie in the pie wasteland that is the NE you need to go to a local butchers rathers than a bakery.

Greggs do a nice slice of Tottingham (sic) cake which always catches my eye and relieves my pocket of 60p!
 
Not been in one for ages tbh, everything I seemed to get from there was pants.
Pies,pasties, sandwiches.
Maybe I was just unlucky with the local ones.

Talking pasties, Ye Olde Pasty Shoppe in Bolton.
God knows what goes in them but it works.
 
Greggs stock different items depending on where/which country the shop is in

I.e Greggs in Fife (as opposed to GregInFife) will always have pies
 
Typical. I start a thread about practising your wedges and get about 3 replies.
Mention pies and your all over it like a cheap pastry lol

:D

No mate, its best described as the stuff whats in a fishcake, but MILES better, spread over a 1/2 round of bread, with a lovely thin coating (I wouldn't call it batter) deep fried.

Believe me you'll love them. They don't open after 7.00 pm, as they sell so many of them between 12-1.30 and 4.30-7.00.

Lings Chip shop, Windsor street, Toxteth, Liverpool 8.

Johnstons pies are just down the road on Mill street, Dingle/Toxteth,Liverpool 8.

They do what is like a corned beef hash pie - Mmmmmm

1 of each would see you right for lunch.

Sayers steak pies are lovely, although turns you into johny fartpants, later in the day.
