Pasties

[Sandro]

Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe
Churchgate
Bolton

I first bought pasties here almost forty years ago, as a student at Bolton Tech. They went absolutely perfectly with scrumpy from small wooden casks on the bar at The Old Man and Scythe, across the road. The Old Man is one of, if not the, oldest pubs in England, and is, in my experience, one of the few which is comfortable with people bringing in their own food.

A couple of years ago, I had cause to be back in Bolton and discovered that both the Pastie Shoppe and The Old Man and Scythe are both still going strong.

The pastie shop even had a mention on Radio Four's "Today" program a few weeks back, when Dave Spikey (the comedian) was interviewed and spoke highly of them.

Much recommended

From 2 years ago up to the present time, pastries has been one of the best food that I had ever tasted in my life and they are unbeatable.
