Although Earl Sterndale's Quiet Woman has received a heads up already, no one's yet mentioned their amazing pork pies. Undoubtedly its best feature (sign aside of course, but you can't eat that).

the fool inspires me to suggest: 'kepka's own pork pies (abbeydale road), made on a thursday morning, and if eaten while the jelly is still warm and runny is a life changing experience; also the corner butcher, next to the moon in stoney, are also a fine peppery assault on the arteries (they supply the deli in grindleford amongst other outlets)

Walter Phillips, now closed and a florist on Heeley bottom, beside Manhattan motorbikes, now there was a fine butcher, consequently a wondeful pork pie, and the saturday morning sausage rolls, while still warm, were next level business.

I distinctly recall, as a 3 year old boy in Monks's trade counter (now keyline, the builder's merchants) proclaiming that the inside of my pork pie was made of putty....

yes, remember this - always seemed a pleasant surprise serving food on such an unhealthy stretch of road

Tom'll come along with a huge list of yorkshire pie-houses including the Farm shop and the buthcer's in Ilkley no doubt...

theres some good pork and pork-equivalent pies you can get at tebay services if you're passing the lakes on the way to scotland etc. I had a nice game pie, and also a beef growler.

(as a side note, this is probably the nicest motorway services in the UK- maybe a subject for a seperate thread).

I can, after considerable research and testing, heartily recommend the Pork Pies from the Whirlow Farm Shop. Great meaty filling and fantastic crispy pastry. They're not cheap, but well worth a go.

I'm not at all convinced by rhubarb and ham though I have to say.
