Title: Bakeries and pasties
Post by: kevvosa on June 02, 2006, 01:22:15 pm
Does anyone here buy pasties or sandwiches from the likes of Greggs, Ainsleys, Hampsons and so on.

My favourite are chicken bakes from Greggs. They're gorgeous. I also love vegetbale tikka pasties from Hampsons.

Greggs do a Minted Lamb pasty now.


In Liverpool, Hampsons is called Sayers.  I like the Chicken Tikka pasty.

Greggs vegetable pasties are fantastic - and only 63p. I also like the Oggy Oggy pasty company but their Birmingham store has closed down

I have never heard of the shops you mentioned kevvosa. Down here in the cities the main pasty sellers are Warrens and Oggy Oggy. Of the 2 I prefer Oggy Oggy however we have a local independent bakery in my town who do great pasties, and it means I don't have to travel to the city to buy a pasty. And don't forget Ginsters, I am not far from the Ginsters factory and they actually have a factory outlet shop...

I'm amazed there's a corner of the country without a Greggs!

Lamb sounds nice, we dont get it here.

When I went to London Kings Cross once there was a little stall selling gorgeous curry pasties but they were quite expensive. They were worth it though.

For some reason Greggs are now linked to a Chav lifestyle.


You know, 'Tasha buys little Courtney a steak bake to pacify her 1 year old teething blues.........

I've heard at least two chav mums with girls called Coutney this week.
Other popular names are Cheryl, Stacy, Chantelle and Chelsea.

What about chav boys - Darren, Kevin, Wayne, Lee, any more?

I was about to say Darren. I bought a DVD off ebay from someone called Darren recently and it had writing on the underside of it!

I haven't heard of any of these shops either!


We did have a shop here called The Cornish Pastie shop, which did do some yummy ones, lamb was one of my favs, sadly it has been closed for some time now.

I'm with Smurfy - I didn't know there was a high street in the country without a Greggs - we have at least four locally.

I love veg samosas too, gc. In fact I asked my penpal in India for a recipe and she said even they buy them from shops as they are too much bother to make themselves!

I think Warrens pasties are the best


The branches of Warrens where I live don't cook the vegetables properly

Its not a pastry but I love the sub roll from M&S with ham and egg in. The roll is really soft and the ham is really tasty

I love those too. Also love the ham and egg seeded rolls that M&S do.
