22 Pies

[Piemaster]

and the Hull Pie quite rightly makes the list
They sell their pies at the football now though so just have to be competition for Morecambe FC pies.

If they were in Skipton they should have gone to the celebrated pork pie establishment. nom nom nom

 

[subaqua]

too many other good pie shops missed off.

Hulsons in Mold for a start.

How many do you reckon @vernon can tick off?

I've done seven of them which is, by my reckoning, at least six more than the writer of the article has sampled. I doubt that she left her desk to sample any of the pie shops whose press releases and telephone interviews she's abridged.

Edit: I've had a closer look and all she has done is pick a random sample of pie shops/emporia mentioned on Facebook, Trip Advisor and Instagram.

What an easy way to earn a crust!

It's some of the laziest journalism that I've come across. Some of the writing rang alarm bells. She's even used some of the text from her earlier pie review of the best pie shops in Yorkshire. (I've done six of them)

Did someone say pie? Tour de Pie anyone? Sounds like a most excellent summer challenge.....

The pie shop in Leicestershire is far from the best around, however they are great at manipulating media and self promotion. They end up on telly and in print much more than their produce deserves.

You can't beat Accrington's finest Hollands steak & kidney pies.

Where are the pasties?

Burn the witch!

 

[Piemaster]

I've only done the Hull Pie. I've never felt the need to go any further, and despite that I always have difficulty deciding which one (or two ) to get.

Where are the pasties?

And sausage rolls.

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

Wilson of Leeds (presumably they mean Wilsons of Cross Gates)? A valid entry few years ago maybe, but the last couple I've had from there have been middling at best, much as it pains me to say it...
