Piglets Pantry for me every time. Pukka okay, but just that only ‘okay’. IMO of course.

They'll be porky pies

I think the answer is that it is practically impossible to create a mass produced pie that is available across the UK in supermarkets, chippies and football grounds.
For a mass produced pie pukkas are ok, had far worse and as I said the Walsall Balti that I thought was pukka was indeed, well, pukka.
You can't compare food like pukka to smaller companies that provide a similar product, they are nearly always better.

Yeah, agree. I really don't want to say "Things were better in the old days" but the Piglet pies sold at the Amex now are, just IMO, way worse than they used to be when the stadium first opened. All too often now the interiors are just molten lava whereas in the 'old days' the fillings were really chunky.
Still, as you say, they're 'ours' and they're local, so fair play. Prefer the burgers outside now though.
To be fair, BG did cite sales of 60m, not production volume. Perhaps they’re currently working through the last 10 years stock, and will increase production when stocks have been depleted?
As an aside: has anyone ever seen BG and Crodo logged on at the same time?
Millions voted for Hitler, perhaps he wasn't so bad after all then?
Indeed, 61.8% of the Labour Party members who took part in voting for Corbyn in 2016 can’t be wrong....

Had these beauties at End Of The Road and they were awesome.
When the Amex first opened the Piglet pies were excellent. Over the years they have deteriorated to the point that I no longer buy them. I can only presume that we signed up to a lengthy contract and as we are "tied in" Piglets are now serving up any old crap. Their standards have gone downhill pretty quickly.
Having said that, they are still superior to Pukka which I refuse to eat under any circumstances!
I echo the comment made earlier about Wolfies pies. Steak & Ale and Steak & Kidney are really good. (Head south from Hove station and you can't miss it. 1 minute walk!)

Nobody has mentioned Fray Bentos pies. Every now and again, maybe once or twice a year, bloody lovely. I do like a flaky pie.

Pie is a superfood.
It's one of THE gems. I don't eat them very often but, when it's time, I want QUALITY
If you decide you are GOING PIE.....then WHY on earth would you serve yourself anything sub standard like a Pukka? Soggy pastry, sub standard structure, generic 'gravy', no meat. So awfully sad.
It's like craving fish and chips and then cooking those rubbish breaded ones from the freezer with some oven chips. When the craving comes, do it PROPERLY.

Bloody hell if it isn't crap out of contract players we should try and get its crap pies. Pukka pies are pretty bad tbh, Piglets are much much better (if not a bit dry sometimes)
