Hollands Pies

[curlyperm]

Ok for reasons best known to me, i need to know (and i have searched on the internet but all to no avail, so not just being lazy here) an alternative maker/supplier to Holland for pies etc ..... i dont like them and there must be a superior alternative? could you ask in your local chippies for me please? Oh and could you let me know just as a matter of interest what YOU lot think of Hollands pies? i think they are tasteless and out dated and possibly not changed in 40 years........but hey? thats just me x TIA

After googling Hollands Pies, it seems they are North of the Border, and the South? in the chippies, they serve Peters Pies......

I wonder if they would be so kind as to send you a sample pie? if you haven't tried them.....

Well being a northern pie eating lass like yourself i too don`t go a bundle on Hollands,but i know for a fact that my chippie sells Peters and i like them.
P.s i know coz i used to work there :-)

But...saying that McDougalls(sp?)the flour people make lovely pies,i get them from Heron or Farmfoods.

Hi, my local chippie sells Pukka Pies, and they're excellent. http://www.pukkapies.co.uk/ Must say I'm not a fan of Holland's either, they're really bland and gloopy.

pukka pies is looking very good scary!!!! thing is they are in Leicester and only distribute 90 miles radius i am 94 miles away........................ do ya think if i met them on the Motorway slip road this end that they would deliver for me? lol

Don't like Holland's Pies??? Oh the blasphemy! The factories just up th'road from my house.

Anyway, try Gynsters, the peppered steak ones are awesome.

[curlyperm]

lol Boo.............sorry its just the pastry (to me) resembles asbestos :- /

My local does Pukkas..and we are in West Sussex..surely that is over 90 miles away from Leicester?

[curlyperm]

i guess it would depend on the order? i mean if i phoned up and said........'Can i have 2 cheese and onion pies and a cornish pasty?' well i guess that would be a 'No' then but for a biggish order on a regular basis that might be a different matter x

[Pippa68]

Oh I see...righto.

errrrrrrm...how about a day trip to a Leicester chippy ~ buy in bulk!

[curlyperm]

damn good idea pippa lol

[normy]

Hollands steak and kidney puddings are the best mmm

[normy]

you can get pukka pies at Costco now, or try a local cash and carry like Makro or booker

[curlyperm]

Ah-ha well yes i know people that do actually quite like the puddings, however the pastry on the pies is still cr*p thanks for your imput - cos i do need to know ; )

[curlyperm]

i noticed on their website that they have a wide variety of stockists, and i have a Bookers near me, i just wondered about cutting out the middle man and getting them at cost, shall look into it, and thanks normy

[Pippa68]
