Visited the newly opened deli/cafe as recommended by @postman at the end of the street to investigate their pies.
They only had pork and mushy pea pies on offer and I'd committed myself to purchasing one before I noticed the price. £1.75!!!
I was tempted by the Fitzpatrick cordials for sale then spotted the price £5 - widely available elsewhere for £4
Now come on. That's taking the mick. Putting a napkin in the paper bag with the pie isn't the sort of added value that justifies that sort of price hike.
Crust - looked good but soft offering little resistance to bite.
Mushy pea topping looked good but some suspicious dark green flecks - mint! How dare they! First bite confirmed the mint and vinegar of mint sauce.
Pork content - chopped pork rather than minced promising but unremarkable.
4/10
Well that's my first and last visit to the emporium of overpricing over.
