All cheeses can also be bought to take home.

The beer will be English Ales from Spiffing Ales. (We will also be serving wine)

More details on the Pie Shop in English can be found here

A delicous way to spend an afternoon!

For those of you with families- go and enjoy. My daughter loved the food and said "I'm going for the gourmet cheese plate the next time.".

There are yummy desserts too.

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

The weather forecast for saturday is not too bad, although it might be a little chilly so I will probably also be serving Whisky Rarebits (rich cheddar sauce with eggs, mustard and beer with loads of whisky, grilled on toast) to help keep out the chill later in the day. The perfect companion to beer!

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

Excellent food if I remember rightly from the first pie event. The cheese range was tasty too. The pie shop need to improve their wine offerings though. Start selling this , and I'll move in....

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

This just in...

Not that Mike needs a lot of help in attracting attention to the wonderful cheese and other products he provides... Or, The Pie Shop as well...with their nice assortment of pies and desserts... But just in case, we are also planning on showing up this Saturday with some of our special chocolates, which will be free to sample! The catch...there is none! All you have to do is show up and be prepared to eat lots of cheese, pies, etc...We'll be there around 3pm and we can't stay too long - but we'll be leaving the chocolates behind for those planning on coming later...

Jack

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

You took your time to come back this time. The grass has grown under your feet. In your absence I changed my mind . And someone else is sitting in your seat
...
I'm all Pied-Out. You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing....

Bring it on. I just hope I don't have the play Eagles Lyrics games with BrettSterling the estate agent again.

Re: The 2nd Pie Shop Ploughmans Lunch

It looks like being a lively day! I expect we will be quite busy between 1 and 2, don't forget we will be open until about 9.00 pm if you want a late one.

If you can't find it, the phone number of the Pie Shop is 044 350 04 17 - and everyone there speaks English.

Don't say that! Couldn't the ladies from the Pie Shop loan you a part of their oven/grill?

Hash, you might want to give 'em a call- I'm not so sure he'll have time to see this at the Pie Shop.
