philmayfield 5,356 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 As a connoisseur of such things I can highly recommend Maloney's of Tuxford. Anyone tried them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 795 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Morning Phil. I believe some time ago I mentioned Chambers pork pies are allegedly very good. I picked one up recently from Chambers in Arnold. It was the smallest size they do and was nice but not outstanding. I didn’t know but I have had them several times previously as I discovered they supply the Final Whistle pub in Southwell where I’ve been know to have one or two.

Beekay 4,272 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 So where would get a Maloneys pie then Phil? And don't say Tuxford. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,356 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 I don’t think you can buy them nationally. Mine came from Gonalston farm shop. They serve them in the Blue Monkey on Front St. in Arnold. I think the Cotswold Pudding and Pie Company would be your nearest outlet! I’ve been meaning to try a Chamber’s pie but I don’t often pass that way. As you know the farm shop is close by. I don’t know whose pork pies they sell at Hockerton farm shop, maybe their own as they do make all their other pies as also does Stoppards in Southwell. Their steak and kidney is very good.

woody 506 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 For a first class pie try Barlows in Newthorpe and Nuncargate. Worth travelling for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 4,272 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Worth travelling 200+ miles Woody? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,356 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 In all my years in Notts I've never heard of Nuncargate. I shall seek it out in pursuit of the perfect pie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,876 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Way to Nuncargate go up Annsley road past Bager Box then 2nd left down Soulder Mutton Hill then turn first left. You Have Arrived at Nuncargate. Who needs a satnave? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 428 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Alternately, buy online. https://www.barlowsonline.co.uk/product-category/pork-pies/ Plus delivery charge, https://www.barlowsonline.co.uk/national-delivery/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 4,272 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 24 quid seems a bit steep for me Stuart. Think I'll ask Mary1947 to pop down to Nuncargate on her scooter and purchase one for me. B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,356 Posted July 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Even for me a 40 mile round trip to buy a £4.50 pie doesn't add up. If I'm ever passing through Kirkby I might call in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi yes my scooter will go 24 miles till li needs a charge, but still being a Learner going that far might be a problem, 1st time went into the village missing the concreat post and dodged one or two kids who were going to school.Getting to the localCO-OP bumped into the large black rubbish bin, no damage to my scooter, did my shop came out and the alam went off (on my scooter) how to switch off alam had to ask a nice chap who was passing by. Later went to our local butcher Paul Shipley's parked inbetween his shop window and concreat light post. Got on my scooter again and was stuck between the post and shop window, Pauls son came out and helped me reverse. Right back to normal? what is normal this Red Beauty of mine has 3 gears 1st is for going on pavements 4 miles an hour, while in this gear you can cruise along, but be careful children coming from school mums (even wose ) comming to pick up their kids , next we have narrow pavements in some parts so dustbins left out also a real pain. SO going shopping in the village my route for any one comming to live at the orchards, out of bungalow find lower path that goes on to road when you get to the road put scooter into 2nd gear (boy can she shift in this gear) getting to t junction STOP LOOK LISTEN this is the only way out. Next Sedgwick st, more holes that all notts pits, after 12 years of filling in holes it's going to be resufaced, TBC Later 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,394 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 @mary1947 perhaps you shouldn’t go out at the same time as school drop off and pick up? It sounds a fun ride anyway x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 4,272 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Margie, as long as she picks me pie up, Mary can go whenever she likes. Wonder how many times she'll have to stop to recharge, if doing a delivery? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 506 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Barlows pies must travel well, I was in there one day when a guy from Yarmouth came in to collect thirty. Obviously pre ordered to make sure they had enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should have seen the two grossly obese members of staff in the reception. Not a good advertisement for the NHS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 9,571 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 It seems to be the done thing for very obese NHS staff to advise patients to lose weight or, in my case, that my cholesterol was too high. It was said to me in such a way that my mouth had replied, "I dread to think what yours is!" before I could stop it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,876 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Pork Pies have got nothing on me 2nd scooter saga went to butchers (Paul Shipley) again and parked out side his garage door's after getting my meat wanted to go the other way, so!! tried to do a 3point turn but instead of being in drive was in reverse and yes you have gussed. Went flying backwards into his garage doors, these flung open, scooter ok me ok but you should have seen the crowd, we live in only a small village so every body seems to know what was going off. Margie H yes i have learnt not to take my scooter out when the kids are coming out of school Just one more thing Hand Signals I thought these were a thing of the past, but Sedgewick St is not very wide and seeing as its the only way in and out of where I live I have no choice. Cars park on both sides so only one lane left in the middle to go up and down, (pavements are narrow and very bumpy for scooters) If a car is comming down I look for a space to pull into, same as when one is behind you, I use hand signals to let the driver know what I am doing. so all in all things arn't so bad after all. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 571 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Mary probably a lot of drivers dont know hand signals except the 'V' sign glad all is well, does the scooter have a back up alarm? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 4,272 Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 You watch. There'll be an extra paragraph in the Highway code, warning you to avoid Jacksdale during shopping and school hours. B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
