Today, the so-called Poole's pies are nothing like the original ones, from the shop on Wallgate.
Best meat and potato pies in Wigan now are from the Rollin Pin bakery at Newtown.

Agree with the others, in the past really nice. Since Dave 'TooTight' Whelan bought them and they went into mass production, not so great at all. It's a travesty they carry the same name (mind you I think thats what he bought them for, not the recipes or experience).

Well that's a sad testimony to the standard of the average pie in our once great town  |

Used to be magic, now they're terrible.
Best pies in the world award goes to Hollands IMO. Utterly fabulous.

The Pooles frozen range are shocking.
Hollands are bland and take an age to cook.
Suprised nobody has voted for the SL Pie - to be honest, they are quite good.
Although if you wanted a Hot Pot pie - Cottams in [sizeSt Helens[/size are spot on. |

Meyt and potato ones at the match are tasteless and the pastry is too dry!

Two advantages of eating my programme rather than a pooles pie:
The programme would taste much nicer.
The money spent would go to the club, not Whelan.
