Good man, at Huddersfield they sell all the unsold pies at the end of the game for £1 each. You could feast on their spare M&P pies there.

I'll tell you why, it's because they can label them "locally produced"
Some people will pay extra just for that.
Ah.........Artisan pies! Well worth the extra.
Having owned a few food buisnesses and I'd like to say I think you're assumptions may be way out. I believe the product is hand-made and has a reasonable amount of meat in it?
I think you'd find that the unit cost, with labour, is probably nearer the £1.15-£1.30 mark?
The food industry is rightly regulated and the amount of checks, compliance and quality control needed drives up the unit cost. People are probably not making as much as you think, especially when you add in the VAT at the point of purchase, wastage, etc.

And yet the exact same pies are sold at Stadium MK for £3.50 and they have to transport them there.

So thats a question for Barbs then.
Piglets quite clearly sell them at "X" per pie. What those clubs then whack on as their margin "Y" is down to them.

When the Amex pies are good, they're GLORIOUS. Unfortunately they're a bit hit or miss and even the best ones make you do a double-check on whether they're worth upwards of four quid. Combined in a meal deal with a pint of Kronie for £7.50 on the other hand, what is not to like?
Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
The queue
The rock hard crust
The lukewarm innards
The reduced quality of the meat
The reduced quantity of the meat
The nasty bag
The lurking fear that its probably the wrong pie
other than that though..

Well I for one can overlook the nasty bag. Tho that's a bit of an unfair generalisation towards the catering staff IMHO. I'm far more concerned over the lurking fear that its probably the wrong pint. Unless I see them pour it with me own eyes, I'm pretty sure they often just grab the first pint to hand. Shamefully, it's really hard to tell the difference between the Kronie and the Fosters at the Amex. and nobody on either side of the counter seems to care very much. Sad state of affairs, to be sure.
I used to love the chicken and ham pie. I like chorizo, so would assume I would like the chicken and chorizo pie, but I haven't tried it. I had a chicken and chorizo pasty at work and it was essentially pulled chicken with the chorizo almos melted into the sauce. Well, I say sauce, it was just a glutenous mass and wasn't particularly nice (though wasn't piglets) and has me reluctant to spend so much on a pie.
Can anyone confirm what sort of filling the piglets Chucken and Chorizo pie has? Is it that gloopy mixture type, or are there distinctive chicken chunks and chorizo chunks?

We all seemed to cheer when Azure left, however, the quality seems to have gone with them.

Think the days of chunks are long gone. Or, in the case of chorizo, were never there to start with. Gloopy is the new normal.

And since that started our choice of pie has fallen from 4 to 2 and the quality has gone that way too - are they trying to be too big too soon.
People moan about the bhafc lickers on here, just look at twitter when piglets post anything, now that's embarrassing
The exact same pie with a pint is £6 at MK Dons, I believe.
Do they reheat and sell any unsold ones at Franchise then?
Personally don't think there's been much difference in the quality. Still good pies, still better than pies I've had at other places (miles, miles better in fact). Still loads in them, particularly in the chilli pie I had the other week. I have had bad ones on occasion, but not frequently enough that I can detect any trend. Don't think I've had any bad ones this season though. Also had the sausage roll when that was the special and that was absolutely brilliant.
