Pie and Mash

The standard meal is “double double” or “2 and 2”. Two pies, double mash with liquor and a cup of tea. Turn the pies over, break open and add chilli vinegar to one (if available). However I reserve the right (in the interests of my weight) to order a “1 and 1”. To make it fair, I will consider the price of a “2 and 2”.

  • Authenticity - are the pies made and cooked on-site (1 point).
  • Cost - are the prices reasonable (1 point).
  • Presentation - do the pies look good (2 points). Spoon and fork.
  • Portion size - are the pies big enough (2 points).
  • Taste - the most important factor of all, are the pies tasty (3 points).
  • Condiments available - are the vinegars available and are they good (1 point).
  • 1&1 - the price of a single/single with a cup of tea (£).
  • 2&2 - the price of a double/double with a cup of tea (£).
