This week in Pie News:…read more Pudding & Pie is a Kirkham-based business that I came across months ago in Preston station where they had a stall. I spend a great deal of time in stations across the North and Midlands which means I eat terribly because, as delicious as McCoys are, a packet of crisps is not a meal. I was therefore extremely excited to buy a good quality jumbo sausage roll from these guys and have looked out for them ever since, only to be disappointed. Last Friday however I was delighted to see the pies, brownies and sausage rolls on show and it turns out they are at Preston station just the last Thursday and Friday of every month, so I guess I'll have to try and get cases there on those days from now on! I would highly recommend the pies, I tried a spicy sweet potato one that was delicious and the cheese and black pudding was excellent too. They do have all the classic variations as well, but great to see more inventive choices. As previously experienced, the sausage roll is also good. PIES.

Saw this place on our way to Lidl a few times and thought we would pop in…read more We got there earlier than it opened so we waited around the back, the staff were all hush and sorting things out from the bakery and what not and the stuff I saw them with looked lovely. We went in, sat down and the breakfast menu was pretty good. Got ordered and when it came it was great. I just went for a basic sausage barm with an orange juice as it was super hot. The barm was proper home made ... but if a chew to it which was awesome and the sausage were lovely. Also got some basic toast and it was home made bloomer with butter than that was delicious. The cake and pastry cabinet by the film looked lovely. We were the first in so it was quiet, but a bit later on a few more people came and it looks like it can get really busy but it's a good place so deffo will get busy.

All You Knead is a great quality artisan bakery, specialising in everything from cakes and focaccia…read morebread, to hot sausage rolls, novelty bread crocodiles, and amazing hot cross buns at Easter! They're constantly making fresh batches of loaves, cobs, bloomers and buns, and all for a great price. They have a few shelves of "yesterday's bake" so you can still catch things while they're fresh (and they're still soft and perfect!), and a "grab them whilst your can" set of shelves, where you can grab the items which are at the end of their selling life (but again, still perfect and soft and amazing! Any other shop would have these as 'fresh' still), and you can get them at a reduced price... ie a lovely quality white or wholemeal loaf may only be 50p on this shelf, and pack of 4 hot cross buns on the 'yesterday's bake' shelf are £1, so for £1.50 you have an artisan loaf and fresh artisan hot cross buns (which will spoil you so much that normal hot cross buns from the supermarket will just not compare ever again!). I highly recommend them. They have friendly and knowledgeable staff, great variety of products, and you can occasionally find them hosting a stall at food festival markets.

The staff are also very happy and friendly often giving away free pieces of cake with you order. It is a fantastic place to pop in to for your dinner on your lunch hour. Highly recommend.
