There is only one pie in Cardiff, the good old Clark’s pie which is wrapped up in Cardiff folk law. The pie loved by generation of Cardiff folk first presented to the people of Cardiff before the First World War over a hundred years ago. However, an upstart from the valley based Peter’s Pies are planning to celebrate 40 years in business with a special ‘Cardiff pie’ what have they to do with Cardiff. I have yet to take a bite out of one of these Cardiff pie but I am not hopefully of the outcome.
I see nothing special about Peter’s Pies yes I have spent money on them but only has a last resort I just do not like the mass-production pie. Although the Pukka Pies range fall into that area it is by far the best. Peter's has compared to Pukka falls so far behind there are a bit of a joke. I just wished the club would bring it Pukka Pies to join the Clarkies and drop them Peter’s in the bin.
I will hold my hand up to Peter sausage roll and the cornbeef pasties they are tasty but I still prefer the much maligned underated Clark’s pasty.
A few weeks ago, I had a Peter’s pie from the fish shop, they sold out of Clark’s pies again, and they always sell out of Charkies. I lifted out of its foil tray and it just disintegrated, typical.
There is a new boy entering the pie market the ‘The Pembrokeshire Pasty and Pie Co’ who have been looking for a shop in Cardiff, competition for the Clark’s Pie, who knows but I look forward to giving there pie ago. The real competition is from small independent pie makers like Rees the butchers in Canton whose full range is top quality.
