The store front is still the same - says Pimblets in massive red letters. But like I said, the store is still there selling the pies and they taste the same. Does it really matter if the company are trading under a different name since the last one went under? They are essentially the same pies.

yes it does. regardless of his financial state, he owns that name, they couldnt use his name so they used the nickname which meant they boken not one law. and the recipe is the original one from years back, not the one that they was selling right upto ceasing trading

my mum used to make those little delights, at the original factory in leigh.

that is just an outlet for Yates and Greer, it is actually waterfields who make them now using the old yates and greer recipe.

I'm only an adopted Wiganer, moving from Bolton in 2002. Although i've never had a bad pie in Wigan

I'm yet to find one that comes close to a meat and tatty from Wilson Pie shop, a small pie shop in Kearsley on the outskirts of Bolton. I always have a couple in the freezer at home incase i get withdrawal symtoms.

Still bloody good though



My best sports ground pie [iever[/i was found at Mossley AFC last night though

forget pies, chilli beef pasty from hampsons mmm
Or Pooles sausage rolls

This is a pie thread, get the hell out of here and take your crazy ideas with you........

Well i was going to bring an invention i call 'the wheel' but after that attack i don't think i will, Wigan is not ready for such innovation.

Pimletts are now owned by Waterfields of Leigh.

There are no killer sharks
no scorpions
no deadly jellyfish
no baby killing dingos
no poisonous snakes
no mosquitos
no deadly spiders
no major droughts
no raging bush fires

Being an Aussie in Australia these days is about driving round in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer then grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab to go home and sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows about English history on a Japanese TV

If Aussies make good pies its because we showed you how!! How dare you critisise ours!!

Oh we have wheels, its just keeping them on that we have trouble with.

I had a wheelbarrow - but the wheel fell off.

Well they used a Pimblett's logo over the stall and they were bloody good

Did you burn it?

Just a 'barrow' then?

Wigans crap for pies!! Theyre all baked in an oven ffs, whats that all about?!?! You lot in Wigan aint got a clue about pies!! Though havin said that when i go to Wigan i sometimes have a chunky steak from the Galloways across the rd from wallgate station and theyre quite tremendous but too healthy..

Canny beat a Scotch pie floating in the boiling bubbling lard, take a bite to let the fat drip out, one of them a day gives you a good life expectancy of around 48



And whats that wire fan goin on about pasties and sausage rolls for?

cos pasties rule my friend

not the same Pimbletts, just coincidence that they have same name.

I can still clearly recall going into an ayrshire chippy, ordering pie n chips, then watching in horror as he tossed the pie into the fryer to cook! Bleuchhh!!

Now there's some sense being spoken

Had an awesome mince pie from a chippy in Hamilton after the Hibs game earlier this season, but they didn't have a clue when I mentioned chips and sauce.

Scottish mutton pies!!
