I go to this place regularly to buy pies and sausage rolls in my opinion the pies and sausage rolls are up there as some of the best I have tried pies are full of lean meat unlike some you get where it's hunt the meat in the gravy! Price is good and cheaper than some poorer quality offerings I have had
