If there's any pastie better than a Carrs cheese and jalapeño I won't believe you. King of pasties they are.

They're decent but £2.25 is too dear. (also £2.45 for a meat pie)

Their potato cakes are ok but can't get near my sister's home made.

 

I think they were about £2.70 last time I went.
Scandalous really, although I’m always hearing about how badly run the company is, so I suppose they need to sell at premium prices. 

Agreed on potato cakes. My dads are the best I’ve ever had, but he refuses to make them now as he makes such a mess. More flour based compared to Greenhalghs. 

we often do saturday dinner from greenhalghs

It really needs to stop

For 4 of us, it can be pushing 20 quid

thats 3 or 4 cans of ale

It is cheap and decent, I usually get chips, peas and gravy with loads of scraps for 2 quid, if you want a decent fish though, you need to go Whitesides down the road

Yeah whitesides fish is very good. Lovely on a barm. Gone off their chips though

You could always ask your wage-earning wife and kids who fancies paying. 
 

in fact, tell them you’re on a zoom conference or something and ask them to go.

You need to get tested. Losing your sense of taste!

Genuinely wasn’t blown away. Had much better than that. Looking forward to a meat and potato pie as I think they may be very good 

I'm liking the local food trip Esco, although you'll be the size of scotland if you keep this up!

I’ve been half way there for years mate 😀

Oh and meat and potato pie 5/10. Place is a myth. Not saying it didn’t use to good possibly but it is sub standard now 

Missed a trick not getting the beef scotch pie. The gravy in them and strips of meat are tasty as. Used to work round the corner from there, not been for about 18 months or so. Probably did my waistline a favour moving work places.

Can’t get a decent scotch pie south of the border. 
 

I won’t be trying the pastie today as I’m out for a Thai meal tonight before places shut

Fair point, I was forgetting you live up there. Be like going over France and asking for lobby 😁

Dutsons were the best pasties by a country mile, ye olde pastie shoppe was overrated.

Don't mind a bit, but wouldn't go a full one, like they do at Bury Market

 

People who don’t like black pudding are nailed on queers and that’s that.
