I live 170 miles from Bolton now and haven't walked down Manny Road for ages. Last time I did this place was one of the last vestiges of the old match day Manny Road still in place. Great to hear its still doing its thing. 

Is Rice n Easy still going.

Spent many an hour on the paddock with crippling indigestion ,  belching up their curry sauce.

Used to get sent there for work orders along with that butty shop when i was 17. Then i'd kill half an hour wandering aimlessly around Asda letting all their food go cold. Those were the days ☺️

 

Never actually bought anything from there.

They still got pictures of David Bowie on the wall?

£1.60 for 6 pies, that's less than 27p each, I dread to think what the ingredients are.

Same here, I used to love that curry sauce. I also seem to remember the woman that served had a head the size of a pumpkin

Lovely - you want to see what sort of pie and mash shite they serve round here

Drove past today and saw it was 3 pies for £3.60. Its about £3 a pie in Greenhalghs! 

Cheap because they're cheaply made.

Pastry thick and hard etc.

Get what you pay for, including heart burn.

Green jacket is reet. I hadn’t been in there for god knows how many years but was passing last year and thought I’d get a pie for my dinner. In monetary terms they may be cheap but I bloody paid dearly for it for the rest of the day in heartburn.

Ages ago we played at Cardiff midweek and at the last minute I skipped college to go on the coach from Burnden. I called in the pie shop for sustenance butt they'd nowt left. She sold me a massive bag of grated cheese for the journey, no barm, no nowt.

My blood pressure was as high that day as it was at Wembley after the Stoke match.

No Bowie posters

just a massive victorian pie press in the corner and you never know whether its open or not even after you get in the shop ,never anyone stood behind the home made counter

looks like its made from cut down old MFI wardrobe

Used to know the lass who runs it and her sister when we were younger, both nice girls back then.

Did think about trying to cop off with one of em once, could have been a pie millionaire if I'd gone through with it.

They are pie millionaires by now you reckon ?

They'll be the pies left at the end of the day.

Freeze em.

Then sell em for £1.60 or throw away?

Not difficult.....

I've got a vision of Frank Sidebottom, with a pastry bonce.

Being a Burnden-sider I have to admit that I never went in. If it was an ales and pie day it was in A/Bridge and then travel down to The Haulgh. Plus, folk that I knew said that they were rank. No idea though

Jack hammer for the base, and to be eaten with rennie. 

You didn't miss much.

I was going to ask exactly the same! Chip barm and jumbo sausage and a mad dash into the Paddock.

I remember, at the height of the mad cow disease panic,  asking the old dragon what was in the sausages. "I no idea, next please" was her succinct answer

do they still do the meat and potato pie with the mushy pea centre?

Wife’s cousin Alan, known to a few on here, was delivery driver for them.
