After 2-3 years, I went back to the pie shop this afternoon, thanks to an EF event (Grumpy grapefruit's cheese and pie do) and I must say that it's vastly improved.
It's changed completely from when it first opened and the pies are normal, traditional pies like one would expect.
The chicken was really good. I was told that they roast the chickens for 2 hours with prunes. I also got a taste of the pork and apple ... they're both worth trying.
Thank goodness we finally get good pies here!
