Pies not in a box

[Bozza]

Where do you all sit? I saw many, many pies in boxes today.

Ah it might have been a trial in the North only I now vaguely remember.

I had a pie today as described without the box, and yep it was an improvement nice and crispy and baking hot, best one I've had so far.

I miss the blue boxes with the albion logo on the top.

Had a lamb hotpot pie today and it was very nice

My steak and ale came in a box, although it wasn't branded. Probably a decent saving for the club.

So who exactly are the new "emergency" caterers?

Piglets only supply the pies, but you carry on

Big Belly's had his revenge for being banned and organised a mass destruction on pie boxes!!

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Due to the cold weather yesterday, I deemed it appropriate to have two hot pies in a short period of time. One was served in a box, the other wasn't.

Thus, I am only 50% aggrieved. My life has only been half ruined.

My pie in WSL was in a box. All the pies in Dicks were in Boxes, and all the pies in the Profile Lounge were in boxes.

 

[Notters]

How was the pie served up - just on a napkin?

Piglets did tweet earlier this week there would be a change with the pie service as they were steaming in the box and losing their crispness. I suspect this is all related.

Odd. This was about the tenth pie I've had and it was the first that was hot and the first that was crispy. Had a bone in it though.

My mate had a pie in the North Stand after the game, looked like the xxxx had been cremated even the little tray was black.

Horse or cow bone?

That's because the little trays were black.

*edit* I has another one of those lovely lamb pies, without a box (on a little black tray) and i think it does help stop it going soggy.

I quite like a soggy bottom

That's because the new boxless pies were only being trialed in the North Stand. All pies elsewhere should have been in boxes.

There only seem to have been complaints about the condition of the pies since the downgrading from the original blue boxes. These were good quality, smart, with logo, appreciated by all and kept the pies close to optimum condition.
Someone took a decision to switch to a much cheaper, inferior quality packaging. This is an un-branded, off the shelf, bottom of the range product. In the ever increasing quest for more profit, they have compromised the quality of Piglet's Pantry Pies and are now desperately trying to rectify the situation.
If I was the owner of Piglet's Pantry I would be absolutely livid. They are still producing the same pies but the narrow-minded cost cutting going on at BHA is undermining the progress of the brand. Not satisfied with the comfortable margin on offer with the original presentation ( and don't believe that bullshit from Barber about making very little from the pies ) BHA are now trying to wring every last drop of profit out of the product.
They should have realised that what they had was a successful brand. They have stuck two fingers up to Piglet's Pantry by downgrading to this cheap, nasty and un-branded packaging and demonstrated that they have little or no loyalty to the brand.
It is ' penny wise, pound foolish ' strategy and will inevitably lead to the slow decline of the product.

I suspect the previous caterers have thousands of these stock piled somewhere in Southwick.

I guess tree must be something true in this post somewhere.

I can't find it, but I'm sure someone might be able to.
