Wigan still makes the best pies in the Country.
No matter where I have been in this country no Pie is Better that a Wigan one.
After all we are called Pie Eaters.

Galloway's best pies all round.
Rathbones before Whelan decided to take them over at a min price and shut them down.

Always laugh at the sticker on the back of vans in Wigan - There are no pies kept in this vehicle overnight. :D
