We have a pie day at work & we all have a warm pie on a Wednesday morning.An extract from the website:PiesOur freshly made home cooked pies are near legendary, they have to be tried to be believed and attract custom from all over the West Yorkshire region.We are National Pork Pie Champions "2008 - 2009!!Our award winning pork pies and sausages have regularly featured in the Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage and Products competition and The Pork Pie Appreciation Society awards.all of our meat pies, pork pies, sausage rolls, pasties and seasonal fruit pies are made and baked - fresh, daily on the premises, and can be eaten whilst still warm from the oven.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hi Magic, I 've had a few pies from Bentley's in Pudsey myself as we do use this butchers.But I have to say that Newtons was the best pork pie any where in Leeds.Trouble is their pies are but a distant memory! By the way do you work for Bentley's?

The Beaulah at Farnley used to do great pie and peas, with mint sauce, vinegar, gravy. I haven't been in there for a long time though.

Hey Pashy 2, fellow West Leedser, we may well have done battle over the last pie, but the loser wouldn't have been too badly off because as you say, everything from that shop was great. I seem to remember they did brilliant roast pork sandwiches in proper chewy breadcakes and real butter. Ohh, Jamie Oliver just eat your heart out - none of your healthy stuff can hold a candle ..

You could be right Trojan, it could well have been dripping - all I know is that they were rib sticking, well greased, teenage appetite satisfying, hunks of fantastic REAL food! None of your grass, nuts and sticks rubbish.

Todds of Armley Town Street had an 'incident' with dodgy pies. They closed their shop and the two market stalls. The Town street shop never reopened, it's a bookies now. The two market stalls reopened as Sweeny's. Think about it.
