Whilst it has been suggested to me
on more than one occasion, that I may well have consumed ALL the pies, I can
assure you that despite loving my first visit to Bakerie’s Pie & Ale (see here) in Manchester’s Northern
Quarter, I did leave plenty for you!
In fact, I only ate one… but I will
be back for more!
A simple concept: they sell pies (and sides) and ale (plus other drinks – notably:
Cockt’ales and, during their happy hour, bottles of house wine for just £9!).
The staff were super friendly too!
The pies are all baked on site in
Bakerie’s bakery – shortcrust pastry, a wide choice of delicious sounding
carnivorous and vegetarian fillings and some big crimpin’. Sides of mash, mushy
peas and proper gravy are available for just 85p each!
On my visit there was a choice of
eight delicious sounding pies available – the Devilled Kidney & Mushroom
(£5.45) sounded good, as did the vegan option of Chickpea & Artichoke
(£4.95) but in the end I decided to go traditional for my first visit and
ordered the Steak & Ale (£5.95).
It may not have been the best pie
I’ve ever eaten but it was very good and at the price paid it was certainly
excellent value. It was packed full of meat and plenty of black pepper… the
pastry cow stood on top added a touch of whimsy.
My choice of ale, came in the form
of St. Stefanus Blonde – I’m not
knowledgeable enough about craft beers to pass any detailed comment, but it was
enjoyable different with plenty of spice, hints of citrus and a strong taste of
bonfire night!
