Apparently Greggs are opening a pub in Newcastle serving a couple of exclusive ales alongside the regular stuff and plating up their pasties and desserts as pub grub. Inside Fenwick shopping centre apparently. Worth a shout if your up that way.

Again this thing about pies in the UK .
For the life of me why do people buy something to eat in Burnley then walk around the town centre eating it .
Knives , forks , tables and chairs is it that difficult?

Wetherspoons Bakery perhaps...? Where they force cheap out of date pies and pastries on you while you are there

Hardly unique to the UK? Here in Germany, it's very normal to buy a Bratwurst and wander round the town with it. Often washed down with a bottle of ale.

that's great Dave, but I really must pull you up on your sauce selection. BROWN sauce with BACON...! seriously, its ketchup with bacon and brown sauce for sausages surely...! (spread optional, but I prefer a good spread of real butter too)

“Spread” is probably a sort of margarine but not necessary with hp sauce

Ketchup belongs on burgers, people.

Best value fresh sandwiches on any high street or services and I include M&S. Their "healthy" range is genuinely decent if a bit limited.

The "pub" is a rented space in a department store and is there until January. It's also £6.50 a pint. You can get a pie with Sunday roast trimmings.

Proper bacon from the local butchers and just enjoy it without ruining it by adding sauce.
I used to know a guy who would put mayo on a bacon butty

It should be. Might as well slop vinegar, sugar and salt on your bacon butty.

Brown sauce, otherwise known as Branston without the lumps, why anyone would ruin a decent breakfast sandwich with that muck is beyond me.
