Pieminister

[whisty]

Welsh Oggie between the other and dance area. Best value pie on site by a mile and does a curry version from memory. In fact one oggie can provide a 2 people snack midday

[Hugh Jass]

Balti pies and Growlers?

midlands cuisine must be worse than i thought!

It's as good as it gets.

Legend has it that a balti growler was once conceived, but the result was too unholy for human consumption.

It's a shame they won't be there, but I wasn't really a fan of their new location as it felt I would have to go out of my way to get one. Definitely better when they were next to Brothers bar.

[russycarps]

There's a pieminister in shoreditch now, I did find it odd that a company of this size was at glastonbury. I'm glad they've been ditched. Dont want huge corporations at the festival.

[LondonTom]

This is an outrage , even more so than moving them away from the Brothers bar! By far the best pie stall on site, a real shame!

(I mean its no proper East End Pie and Mash but as other pies go....)

Maybe we should ask that guy who done the Kanye petition for tips?

[eFestivals]

Plenty of decent alternatives.

better alternatives, i'd say. i've always felt disappointed and overpriced when I've bough pieminister.

if you're that bothered, drop by St Nicks Market in Bristol on your way to/from the fest ... but if you do, I bet you get tempted by the other stalls instead

[neil999]

that square pie place is pretty much the same no? i suppose pieminister has the jaunty names..

[The Placid Casual]

The best pie place was on the way to west holts. It had "PIES" above the stall. Opposite the Kasbah (I think)

Not sure its name, unless it was just called PIES.

To the point. I like it.

[Rosscoe]

Pieminister seemed to get the vibe of the glastonbury. From that point of things it's a shame to see it go. But it won't ruin my festival, I won't starve!

As long as they don't put a subway (or other big brand) we will all survive.

Down with Pieminister! The capitalist pigs!

Stopped by the other day. Wasn't that impressed to be honest. They'd ran out of 2 of the pies so had to settle for 3rd choice. Did get to wash it down with a pint from 'start the bus' though so wasn't a wasted trip.

Love that place

[Mardy]

Fair enough, i reckon. Pieminister are available in Sainsbury's down near me, hardly a cottage industry any more, is it?

[mungo57]

never had pieminster before at Glasto, shame, was gonna pop my pie cherry this year!

[JoeyT]

Love that place

Yeah me to! missus isn't much of a fan though so only get to go when there is a large group of us out usually.

[DeanoL]

Square Pie Company is delicious and they were all over last year, well, I saw them in two places, and ate one most days

They're fine, but had about 4 stalls. Would rather have the variety, and do prefer Pieminister. Although now you can buy them in Sainsburys it does take the edge of a bit.

And you can buy Brothers in the supermarket and everywhere now... but they're both companies that started at Glastonbury and other festivals and grew over time.

[russycarps]

Down with Pieminister! The capitalist pigs!

just had a look at their accounts. Revenue £7.5m, directors emoluments £170k....

I'd rather a small independent stall got the gig.

I'd happily see brothers ditched too, and have a local producer in their place.

[Mardy]

Sucking J spaceman off and now talking about cottaging!!!

You should be a politician.

hahahaha. Fucking hell. I could pretend the cottage industry was a subtle jokes about pies, but y'know, we both understand I'm not smart enough for that.

Along with Tuborg. Utter donkey piss.

Edit: sorry I meant "jizz". Donkey jizz.

Frothy, vulgar mule semen.

Yeah I know what you mean but I'd much rather they remove all those "The Posh *insert food item here*" stalls that seemed to be everywhere around the main stages before these guys.

Square Pie are similar though. And I wouldn't be surprised if they got the spot.

they are much smaller, they are exempt from filing their accounts.

But they should be cast out of the festival, just for having a shop in the nobhead-filled spitalfields market..

[Mardy]

The one that really gets my goat on the faux authenticity tweeness shite is 'Barnaby Sykes Pie maker' with some crossed pistols highwayman bollocks.

They were turning over 3.5 million in 2008 (source: http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/fmcg/spotlight-a-contract-with-ocado-may-be-about-to-put-the-square-pie-company-back-on-the-retail-map/126239.article)so they're not that much smaller.
