Wrights Pies aren`t bad but nowhere near as good as those sold by Mrs Walker from her tuck shop at the end of Lancaster Road in the 70s.
I`m pretty sure she bought them from Burgesses in Newcastle which has long since closed down - their pasties & sausage rolls were second to none as well.

My Dad was good friends with Jack and Ken Burgess for many years. Both of them lifelong Port Vale fans btw...I think Jack was club President. I remember feeling a little tinge of sadness when visiting the newly opened Aldi on Blackfriars Road in 'Castle, built on the site of the old Burgesses bakery, to find one of Jack's sons doing his shopping....š Incidentally they used to supply the catering for RAF Transport flights I used to handle at Ringway in the noughties, along with Wright's as well....squaddies used to love the scran according to the Sqn Leader...š¤Ŗ

An optician friend of mine always claimed Wrights Pies are bad for the eyes. People strain 'em looking for the meat. Get your coat š

Bollocks I was supposed to be on a diet. After reading this thread I want a wrights pie, custard slice, sausage roll, an oatcake with onions and whatever Hendo's relish is. The lunch time salad is way less appealing now than it was an hour ago. You won't regret the onions, sautĆ© them good though or they too closely resemble proper vegetables.Ā Also Hendos is Hendos and I won't see it compared to any unmentionable perceived alternatives. Isnāt it the same as this:- www.cooksinfo.com/chippie-sauceBuy it by the gallon...

It gives me a huge sense of relief, and pride, that this post has run to 4 pages. The last 12 months has tested my allegiance after 45 years as a Stoke fan. I live 1 mile from Bramall Lane so thereās a great temptation to switch to alternative red and white stripes!

Onions on an Oatcake? You're pencilled in for the slot after Wez. The oatcake shop in Cheadle near where I work does Onions as a filling! Their Bacon and Cheese and Sausage and Cheese doubles are bob on though I've got some Oatcakes in the cupboard and all this talk of them is making my mind up about tonight's tea They should be shut down on oatcake code violations. Now, dont get me wrong...I'm all up for inclusivity, catering for the disabled and mentally ill - but even offering onions as a filling is facilitating the worst, most sickest perversion in the world.

Also sorry but potato is the most depressing, austerity, pie filling there is. Steak and ale is boss, the potato is just an excuse to include less of the good stuff.

Such was its majesty I wept a little as he prepared to wrap it for the customer. Then the dirty bastard, without even breaking expression, covered it in garlic sauce. Fucking garlic, on a breakfast oatie. Tons of it as well. What an absolute twat.

It was oft said in days of yore that no human could eat more than one Wright Pie, now I cannot even eat a single one. Not because the fillings are bountiful and sumptuous but because the ones served at the ground are like cack in concrete. Heads must roll, I've had enough, are we being taken for a ride by being served substandard produce? Admittedly, the shop bought ones are owrate.

Utterly vile. My Grandad eat tripe and onions, and it made him go ugly and uncoordinated.

Should set up one of these bait groups for these sickos. "yeh stick some onions on that please" and Chris Hanson pops around from behind the curtain "take a seat right there please..."

Iāve eaten some ropey stuff in my time but Iāve never known anyone, before or since, drown their oatcake in garlic.

Ah ok. Once had Worcestershire sauce in a packet of ready salted crisps. An old bloke at the pub I worked at had it and I pulled my face when he said what he was doing. But it was a revelation. Lovely. How do you administer it?
