But you're not comparing like with like. I'm guessing they have pukka pies or similar, which will have around 20p worth of meat in rather than £2. I bet you anything that their mark up is far higher than on our "artisan" pies.
Edit: and it's one of the poorest cities in the country.
I think Aadam was being sarcastic.
Yesterday was the first time I've had a pie with sauce in! It was almost tasty though still needed some flavouring a little worcester source and some stock would do the trick.
Have to say, despite being very skint, I'm in complete agreement with Commander. It's £3.51 per pint if you use your season ticket, less for fosters. They've got a captive audience and I'm surprised they're not charging more TBH. IIRC it was £4.50 a pint in Stoke and that in a town where you can...
