Hector Ellis... early 90's on a winter's morning en route to Huddersfield on behalf of Burns Construction...
Pork pie from Walkers on Royston Wells. The best pork pie I have ever had and that includes Hector's and Percies.
I also used to buy stunning pork pies, big and small, from a butchers in Staincross many years ago, A small shop on a corner of the road down to Darton, opposite Fosters bakery. They made the pies in a building behind the shop. I could demolish a pound pie in one go when I was doing deliveries in the area. All that wonderful runny jelly in a warm pie !!!!!
Some 57 years ago when I was 11 years old and i had a Saturday morning job., I recall fetching the pies from the Albert Hirst bakery, which were fresh off the production line, whilst I was waiting for them to be boxed up to take them back to the blokes who I were working alongside One of the ladies there would always give me one to eat whilst I waited Some weeks she'd ask do you think you could eat one of the pound pies, my answer was always yes....absolutely delicious...besides grilled fish its about the only food item I miss eating being vegan.
Walsingham Farm Shop (North Norfolk), steak and kidney pie made with proper steak - not the off-cuts - and big chunks of kidney rather than a minuscule amount of minced offal like you get in Pukka pies. They cost about seven quid but boy are they worth it!
Moo Baa Oink butchers steak and pepper pie. That steak filling... Made all other pies seem like a joke. But they've stopped making em. No!
Harry de Wheels in Sydney , proper good https://www.harryscafedewheels.com.au/ But you can’t beat proper homemade.
Rayners pea and pies bottom of arcade more or less where Frank Birds is was a meat pie with gravy inside
Hey Wuzzer, I've had some lovely pork pies at Barnsley market over the years, but that was a few years ago now. Are they still as nice ehh lol. And I was on about this at work recently, with one of the Barnsley Gxo lorry drivers. He said there's a little butcher's shop in the taarn, that do brilliant sausage rolls, and they put Percy Tanner to shame lol. He brought me one the following night, and I must admit, it was lovely and crispy and tasty. Yeah, get in there.
Rochdale away late 70s. The game when the whole of the away end crossed the pitch to the other end at half time.
Find memories of pie and peas van that used to come round when I was a kid (40 years or so ago)… love a pie from Barnsley market, queues to buy them… my son for some strange reason loves a Pukka. We also love our annual pilgrimage to the Piebald Inn at Hunmanby https://thepiebaldinn.co.uk/ A massive array of pies on offer…
Went down to Fuseta in the Algarve to meet my daughter and granddaughter and heard of someone there making pies and pasties, so ordered a pork pie and a Cornish pasty. When I went to collect them it turned out he was Dutch but had lived in Barnsley for twenty odd years as he had married a Barnsley lass, he told me he had a lot of advice from Speeds about the pies, that pie was the best I've ever eaten, small world eh
Wasn't it Albert Hurst pork pies at Oakwell in the old brewery stand. They were great, after a fashion. Half time under the stand getting your face ripped apart by screaming hot jelly down your chin. Along with the Bovril that took the skin off the inside of your cheeks and tongue.
Been trying to remember their name then came to your post and bingo, used to work in tarn and we'd send somebody to Mortons for loadsa chips and peas while I'd get the pies from rayners...brill.
