Aren’t we being a hit harsh on the humble Pukka Pie here, that costs £1.
I had one tonight with mashed potato and peas, and it was very nice, yes my wife is working.
How many of the “far better” pies mentioned here cost £1

Me too: does anyone know the law and/or regulations on this?

Dearest pie shops ever but completely agree
Their beef steak is very very nice

Local tiny cafe by the coastguard station sells Cornish style pasties only better than anything I've tried that was actually made in Cornwall. Best pastie I've ever tasted. It's got high meat content and clearly made with fresh meat and veg. Pastry is amazing too. Some Cornish pasties I've had you'd not want to eat the v pastry.

There was an Ivor Dewdney pasty shop in the merry hill centre years ago, I had one but didn't think much of it, all pastry and no filling! Shop wasn't there that long either!

There are a massive family who have a yearly series on TV about them. Nice family by all accounts.
