We get our pork pies and steak and ale pies from Parkers, it's dam good stuff and this week we ordered another supply. 6 pork pies, 6 steak and ale pies, 6 king size sausage rolls, 12 packets of Quavers and 12 of Walkers cheese and onion. Because it was over a certain amount the shipping was free but we were offered the option of expedited shipping for an extra fee to get the shipment here by the 12th, we chose to just go with free shipping and guess what ? ..... The goods arrived here on the 12th anyway.

Don't pay extra for expedited shipping LOL

I used to get stuff from Amazon long before the 4-6 days or whatever the standard free shipping was - one literally 24 hours after ordering it appeared on my doorstep. Since then they seem to have tightened up and only pick and pack the goods on day 4. But now we have Prime anyway.

Interesting to know about the quality from Parkers. Maybe I'll give them a go.

The quality is good, I have just eaten a pork pie and my missus is currently tucking into a steak and ale pie with mash and Bisto gravy :P
Having bought goods from them in the past I can tell you the Melton Mowbray recipe pies are the best.

We got loads of their stuff for Christmas and it was all good except the Stilton pork pie which was a bit odd.

Best Christmas present ever.

I bought some of their pork pies once, I thought they had too much gelatin in them personally and not enough meat. In Alberta there is someone who makes pork pies, never been able to pin down who but you can buy them at various shops. They have crappier pastry (because it's been frozen) but they're better generally speaking.

I made a delivery to a bakery near Fall River RI a year ago and stopped at a pie shop I saw and asked for some pork pies, I bought 4 and they were nothing like an English pork pie :P

Anyone tried the fish and chips?

I had the fish and chips last order. Fish was good, chips were a bit dry but overall still better than most fish and chips we have tried here. (Apart from an Irish fish and chip shop worth the 30 min drive - Oh My Cod) Kids LOVED the battered sausage and didn't complain about the chips so will get that again too.

I have been told that the fish and chips sold fresh fried in the shop are really good. I often park my truck for the night at a truck stop just outside Buffalo and have asked if they deliver ? ..... They don't

Friends recently got them and said they were the only disappointing thing shipped. The chips didn't seem to reheat well and the fish became claggy. Looked great though.
