Steak and Kidney, steak and ale, mmmm. gorgeous They are magnificent with chips from the local chippy with too much salt and oodles of vinegar on the chips that Mer DB collects on her way home after the occasional late finish There must be petits pois served as well! Such a contrast.

Being a veggie now, obviously not had one for years, but I saw that there was a (Vegetarian Society approved) cheese and onion one, and only a quid! So … My verdict: so-so. Not terrible, but I wouldn't rush for another. Might be worth keeping one in the cupboard as emergency rations.

Unfortunately, my limbic system isn't capable of discriminating.

(in my defence, it's the only ground I have a football pie, and haven't been there for 2 seasons since we got promoted, and they didn't, and now they have) (am i waffling....?! It's the guilt m'lud) Rich, crispy pancakes, never as good done in the oven or grill.... one can only assume that our parents friend them in a frying pan back in the day.

Since Maz has brought up the Scotch pie, my mother is a fan and (a bit niche) I found her a new favourite after Dunfermline parkrun, Stephens (who have an excellent url) steakbridie.com Luckily they have a more local outpost, near Stirling parkrun. If you are around Falkirk instead, try Marshall's the Bakers.
