What is your favourite Hollands pie?
Only ever had one when I was in Warrington for the Rugby the other week, it was Steak and Kidney and it was very nice.

Can you buy these over the net from anywhere?

I'm quite partial to their meat and potato pies and my brother would probably consider swapping his children for a case of their steak puddings.
He doesn't live in this country, so whenever him and his family arrive for a visit, their first port of call is always a good chippy. His wife thinks it's highly comical, because she doesn't think they're anything special. Though she does like English fish and chips. But his son is seven and he is already exhibiting signs of his father's steak and kidney pud addiction, too.

I'm still pining for the taste of a Scotch Pie. I should have written to Iceland when they stopped selling them last year. A PM please from anyone who knows who their supplier was. Thanks

You'd have chopped seasoned Meat and Gravy for Insides and a Pastry Hat and Coat for Skin?

Well I never

Morrisons do Meat & Potato Pies in-store (well in Glasgow anyway). Not sure how they compare to others versions though.

Hollands Steak and kidney puds and their Lancashire Hotpot - yum

I get them from Asda, don't all supermarkets sell them?

Can you ask him if the pies sold in supermarkets are different to the ones in chip shops?

I quite like them from chip shops but the ones I can buy from shops (either frozen or chilled) have a funny smell to them.

Love the puddings, meat pies and cheese and onion pies. Tescos sell the full range in the freezer section and individual pies in the chilled department (this is in Manchester)

The pies are the same whether they're frozen or chilled or fresh. I do a bit of work for Hollands and have seen them being made.

They're only sold in the North West. And at Norwich football ground, because Delia Smith is a fan.

Well I didn't know that. Hollands make the best pies, rest of the country don't know what they're missing. I used to work with a lad who wouldn't eat them though because he lived near the factory and was sick of the smell

Hollands pies rule. I knew they were North West, but I didn't realise how close to me they originated - just up the road in Haslingden

I can get them at Morrisons in Burton on Trent so they do sometimes make it down to the Midlands.

FAR better than Pukkas!!
