Title: Pasty lunch delights daytrippers Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 16, 2008, 16:49:29 In 'the good old days', of course, they could have made the entire journey by train:
Quote A group of "foodies" had an early rise and a 220-mile (354km) round trip - all for the love of a pasty. More than 100 people boarded two coaches in Bristol and travelled to Kingsbridge in Devon to enjoy a pasty lunch. Gerald Creed, from Bugler Coaches, organised the trip after tasting what he believes is "the finest pasty in the land", made by Lidstone's butchers. "Wonderful - worth travelling all that way," one replete diner said. The traditional family butcher's shop has been trading in Kingsbridge for more than 100 years.

As proved by the queues at the drive-thru Macdonalds in Bedminster. :DThis page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
