Or the Greenhalghs Steak & Ale with Dunscar Bridge Brewery Ale Pie to give it it’s full title.
Now I’ve no idea where Dunscar Bridge is, let alone it’s famous brewery but that’s fine, as it always adds a certain touch of exoticism to proceedings. It’s near Bolton. Figures really seeing as that is where Greenhalgh’s is based, indeed with a fair wind blowing in the right direction you could probably get a waft of baking pies heading […]
I feel duly obliged to do a piece on this one in my pie hall of fame. If you see the links on the right, you’ll notice it is the most read story on this here blog.

I’ve faced a two pronged attack you see. On the negative side, I was working too hard to go and roam around the country to get pies and then I kind of lost my job so I wasn’t working at all. The travelling and eating pies bit was no longer a problem but affording them was. Now I’ve got a job again (and it’s […]
WAYNE ROONEY RETURNS HOME INJURED FROM FAR EAST TOUR scream the newspaper headlines. Poor lad. He probably fancies a pie right now. and I think I’ve found his local pie shop, that’s Wienholts in Alderley Edge, the place where Coleen and the other WAG’s get their steak bakes to go with their fake bakes.
I’m not saying it’s posh around here but I’ve heard off a mate that they call a sausage roll a HAM ROLL, so I am expecting […]
