Oddies has been in Burnley for as long as I can rememebr and it is not often you pass this shop without there being a long line of hungry people outside the door.It is a little off putting but the staff are very efficient and soon move every one along. Obviously the worst times are 12.30 is till about 1.30 when everyone is getting their lunch It is well lit and always looks incredibly clean which for a pie shop is very important,the fayre consist of ready made sandwiches to die for, freshly prepared and soon sell out! homemade pies and pasties and very tasty soups. their cakes are in a world of there own, simply delicious read more

Oddies is a local firm of bakers which I believe has it's headquarters in nearby Nelson. The bakery on St James Street in Burnley sells a decent range of pasties and the most delicious cakes as well as a soup of the day and sandwiches etc. It's not the healthiest of places to stop by but Oddies provides a quick, cheap and tasty snack or meal. The store only offers takeaway and although the queues can be big, service is usually quick. Oddies sell the usual staples you'd expect to find in a Greggs store or similar but also a range of more unique pasties and pastries to satisfy your tastebuds as well as your belly! read more

Oddies has to be THE place for a sandwich or pie at lunchtime and even better a yummy scrummy cream cake or fruit pie.As you can tell I have heartily sampled of Oddies wares and never yet found a product that I didnt like or wasnt of the highest quality but as previously said it can be a very busy place to shop at and especially during the lunch hour.They also sell to order birthday and wedding cakes and indeed they have made many for my family and we've always been delighted with the results read more

WH Oddie is a bakers chain in Lancashire and into Yorkshire which is quite similar to Greggs, Bakers Oven or Ainsleys, but one unique thing is that it does potato pasties which are veggie, but enjoyed by all with their creamy sauce, smattering of veg and herbs and crispy pastry. My favourite pasty ever! The shop is a bit small and does get very busy as it is a popular shop but it is worth the wait. Prices are good, fair and the staff are very nice indeed. I love this pasty shop and always make the effort to go when in the area. read more
