Yorkies celebrating 20 years in Pattaya

Yorkies celebrating 20 years in Pattaya

PATTAYA:--In 1999, A Yorkshire couple came to Thailand to start a new life, and a new business. Norman Denning, who had been a butcher for more than 45 years, running his own shop in Shipley, and Eileen, who herself had a butchers shop close by, decided they had had enough of the UK. They packed all their equipment into a container and shipped it out to Pattaya where they had rented a building on Beach Road in Jomtien. There they set about re-creating the butchery that they had back in Yorkshire.

 

At the time, there was only one other couple making a few pies in Pattaya, but no-one was producing real English bacon, sausages, gammon and pies the way it was done in the UK, and other products that so many English ex-pats missed from home. So, after many weeks of finding the right supplies and ingredients, Norman and Eileen opened ‘Yorkies’ in May 1999, slowly developing a good customer base.

I don't mind that they do not. The pies and other products speak for themselves. Congratulations!

Congratulations and my total respect to anyone that can successfully run a profitable business in such a difficult and corrupt environment and still be going strong after 20 years.

This couple must be very well connected.

Sadly Norman passed on several years ago. And Eileen is back in UK.

Not a flat cap or whippet to be seen in the pics....amazing

Great pity there is no retail outlet for their quality products in Khon Kaen. I was able to buy their products in Chiang Mai when I lived in Lanna but not here in Issan - to my knowledge.

What product was it that was particularly "nutritionally not worth a damn"?

[Justgrazing]

No mention of Yorkie pud's the nearest I've encountered in Splattaya look and taste more like baked polystyrene .. If they make the real deal ones they'd be on't something I tell thee ..

Most of the pies, pasties and sausage rolls.

I thought the tongue sandwiches spoke for themselves.

They have changed the story some what, I knew Norman when he first arrived in Pattaya, Eileen was no part of the operation at that time, bacon was good though, back then there was not a lot else available!

[seasia]

Had a Yorkies pie once.

 

Just the one time.

Nicest staff I've ever seen in Thailand. Their fare is great, else they wouldn't have made it to the 20 year mark.

Would give a visit to a farang owned business if I was in town. Cheers!

British food? Sounds like hightech items from Burkina Faso.

What makes you say that most of them are not nutritious?  What's so bad about them, nutritionally?

The BP is good. Just a personal thing on my part but I would prefer if the pieces of fat were chopped a bit smaller. Seems they used to do it but changed to bigger pieces by request. 

Still buy and eat it though and the dogs love the big fat pieces when I dig them out.

Although meat pies etc can be tasty and enjoyable to eat, they contain little useful nutrition and are extremely unhealthy.

Pastry contains refined wheat flour, refined sugar, fat and salt. What then go's inside that pastry case are chopped up cuts of low grade meat, more fat, more salt and maybe even some sugar. Add to that the trans fats and other chemicals in commercially produced pies and processed meats they are  some of the worst things that you can possibly eat.

A nice tasty snack that can fill you up, but unfortunately very high calorific content, very high fat content and virtually no useful nutrition.

Ask that well known English comedian Chubby Brown, in days gone bye he seemed to be some leading authority on pie eaters.

 

 

and your point is?

I doubt, somehow, that you'll know much about it either but I'd love someone here to prove that Yorkies products have "no nutritional value" as was claimed by the poster that I responded to.

I'm interested to see someone prove what was claimed, the poster to whom I responded did, if you don't, why comment?

No posts so far have shown that Yorkies products have damn all nutritional value, that was what my comment was about.
