Chipmunk old boy!
Without doubt the vendors you mention produce a toothsome product.
The Cissy Green's meat pie is famous locally, although a little overpriced considering it's gone after one bite.
Having savoured many a pie on my travels, I have confidence in stating that the best steak pie available within the county is produced by D T Laws in Haslingden (also the home of Cissy Greens). No offal or gristle here, just quality braised steak wrapped up in a crisp shortcrust shell.
For meat & potato, Alpes the butchers in Clitheroe is unsurpassed, as it contains actual meat as well as potato. Totally delicious!
I can assure pie aficionados they will not be disappointed if they sample said pies when next in the area.
