Pie and Mash

The standard meal is now a “single single” or “1 and 1” in the interests of my waistline. One pie, one mash with liquor. Turn the pie over, break open and add chilli vinegar to one (if available). However, I reserve the right to order 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? Spoons and forks? (2 points)
  • 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. (£)
  • 2&2 - the price of a double/double. (£)
