    If anyone's ever passing though Reading I recommend Sweeny & Todd's Pie Shop
    That was just down the road from my previous abode. If you can get past the rather grotty looknig shop front, a visit inside is well worth it.

    My favourite mid-morning, refuel snack is a freshly made bacon, sausage and mushroom baguette from our canteen upstairs.

    Yum. That was good.

    What never?! You mean you pay more than £1.50 for a pint? They had Haggis neeps and tatties to for about £4

    I saw macaroni pies in the Dumfies tescos, I thought about it but decided it would be a bad idea.

    The commuting lunch of champions.

    Just had two from Borough Market, together with a bag of chips.

    Deee-licious. :D

    Pieminister from Borough? They're fricking amazing. 2 + chips is super piggy though...

    Do you two both work near to London Bridge then? If so perhaps an SCR lunch at Borough Market would be in order assuming there are a few of us that could make it?

    Fenchurch St, so a 10 min walk across the Bridge. Might be going again this Friday with a colleague from work, but could do next week.

    If you ever find yourselves out in the wilds of Norfolk, say Swaffham way. Make a beeline for the "20 Church wardens" pub, which is in Cockley Cley. All the pies are home made, steak and mushroom, chicken and leek, and many others.
    5.5GBP with chips and veg,
    Great food and brilliant value.

    My workload is pretty volatile but as it stands that sounds good.

    Is this going to be a "I'll be the guy with the carnation in his jacket button hole by the pie shop" moment...... :lol:

    :lol: Potentially, yes.

    Suggest we meet just in front of the spot where you order takeaway chips from Fish. It's between the two halves of the market. The grounds of Southwark Cathedral is a good place to eat it/them.

    Hope the chips tasted better than the ones I had at work. Must remember to avoid them at all costs :( . The pie was marginally better.

    3 pints of tim tayler and pie n mash in the sun... lovely

    the boss even entertained us on the way back by doing a massive faceplant for some reason he didn't use his hands so his cheeks softened the blow... I didn't laugh until he nipped off to the bathroom when I nearly cried with laughter

    Only just found this thread, but very close to my heart. We used to get Pie Minister pies from Borough Market on our monthly or so visits there, it was one of the things we seriously missed about London when we moved to Oxford.

    So imagine our delight when they opened an actual Pie Minister shop/cafe in the Covered Market here in Oxford - takeaway and sit down, complete with wi-fi (pie-fi?).

    Well worth a visit if you're ever up this way.

    Oh, and it's Matador Pie for me every time :D
