Obviously.
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.

Best pie I remember was Rochdale of all places. They’re probably a bit stale by now though.

Galloway's best pies all round.
Rathbones before Whelan decided to take them over at a min price and shut them down.
The man other than WAFC supporters love, rest of Wigan hate

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

Morecambe's pies were excellent, hand made on the premises at Christie Park, but I believe the chef was poached.

Is it a humble pie.?

Wigan are proud to be called pie eaters, but the nickname is not thought to be because of their appetite for the delicacy. The name is said to date from the 1926 General Strike, when Wigan miners were starved back to work, before their counterparts in surrounding towns and were forced to eat "humble pie" ...
