Where is Farmhouse Fare - it's not the small shop by the canal bridge is it?
Think you mean Stanford's. FF is opposite the church and castle. Stanfords was busy too! Thought about you as they had some giant 5quid mothers in the window :)Quote:

Just had the Farmhouse Fare chocolate pudding, fantastic!! :)
The founder/owner, Helen used to live next door to me, but she never gave us any freebies :p
So are Farmhouse fare better than Stanford's? What is the official verdict?Quote:

Shortcrust pastry blind baked, Cooked Bacon and sausage(and some fried up potatoes) chopped up and placed in bottom of pie, pour over some runny scrambled eggs, top off with bake beans and sprinkling of cheese with some sliced toms....
Bake until cooked and serve with a good chutney. I won't need any tea now, I'm stuffed:)!
Had Butter Pie and Steak Pie, peas + gravy from the local bakery for dinner....ooo yeah :)
Aberdeen Angus Steak and Stilton pie from their M&S Gastropub range - OOOOOOOOOO YES :)
Can't beat a good home made pie. Steak and kidney, taylors landlord for the gravy and a bit of stilton rolled into the pastry. Doesn't get any better :D
No pies involved but I had an M&S £10 meal deal for 2 tonight to myself as I was very hungry supplemented with a large bag of Spar onion rings. Feel better now.
Sainburys basics vanilla cheesecake....bloody good!
Not a pie, but same shape.:rolleyes:
Reading this thread has made me aware of two things:Quote:

Oh it's only breakfast time :o
IN my defence I did leave for work at 5am this morning :o
I might make pie this weekend :D
Been in Shanghai since early Tuesday. Going out for 'Western food' this evening. Is steak and kidney pie, chips, gravy and a pint of best bitter too much to ask for? :rolleyes::D
Probably :)Quote:

Went to Bavarian-style pub earlier and had a couple of half-litres of decent beer plus very good steak and chips :cool: No pies on menu mind :rolleyes:
Not bad not bad DT. Would've been better if they had wrapped it in pastry though I suppose. :D
I had what could best be described as a 'deep fried pie-top' yesterday, with my dinner. Like a cross between a savoury Eccles cake without currants :eek: and a fried danish pastry. Quite pie-like and good fun to eat with chop-sticks :cool:Quote:

Home-made apple, with cream. Splendid it was too :closed:
18 months between pies??? Self discipline or what???? :w00t:
I do well to manage 18hours, ne'er mind 18months :oQuote:

We had pie and peas last night at the Kings Head in Kettlewell. Pie was from Kendalls of Pateley Bridge A splendid bit of piemanship! :thumbup:
..but not as nice as the Cheese Pie. I'll wager!
Cheese pie looked okay for a pie made with cheese :closed:Quote:

Tea was going to be a pie I'd bought that day with a mountain of veg - but opening my rucksack, it'd been thrown about and squashed and was more or less uncook-able.
I went mental.
Sounds like poor pie-management to me :thunbdown:Quote:

We had home made pie on Christmas Eve and the other half tonight, cold with pickles. Has meat and cranberries and stuff in it, Missus likes making it and I'm fine with eating it. Beer tonight 👍.
