sandyf Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have seen them in Villa Market about 90 baht. I am not too keen, think the pastry is too hard. Their best product is the loin bacon, terrific value at 70/75 baht a pack. Check out their website, just google yorkies pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I buy Yorkies Cumberland sausages from time to time and they're currently priced at about THB 260 for seven from Rimping, that's nearly £0.70 a sausage! Part of the problem is Rimpings markup, the other part is that Yorkies downsized their product from eight to seven sausages per pack so it looks like everyone is getting greedy - heads up Rimpinjg/Yorkies, those products have a value and a worth and whilst they're good from time to time, they're only worth so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya Pat Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I assume that Yorkies deliver all over the country then? This could be useful as I may be moving up Norf, Norferners LOVE a pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After paying 70 Baht for a poor quality Scotch egg, and probably more for a tasteless pork pie, I will not be buying Yorkies products again. You will not be disappointed when you move.

Depends where you are but I was buying pies from the Sportsman, KPK Foods, Asia West/Matvic/Acorn in Pattaya. For sausages Western Wholesale Meat Co produced the best flavour - including their Pattaya Peppered Porker. Acorn are also a good quality supplier. For prk pies and suet puddings I used Tony Kwan. Now living in Isaan I have easy access to to Buriram Pies (also the best supplier of tasty Scotch eggs at 3 for 100 Baht), Staffords Foods, Korat Chef and a host of stuff supplied by intermediaries like Nookiebear. In my experience. both as a personal and business consumer, all the suppliers mentioned (and there are loads more I am sure - Sausage King in CM for example) have produced better quality/value goods than Yorkies. Personal taste, personal choice as always. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In between the pies, yes CM Like most expats I eat more Thai food than western - and some interesting fusions - but it is nice to have a 'taste from home' from time to time. It is now possible to get good quality western food as opposed to poor substitutes when I first came here. Subject of previous, and maybe future, posts but I think Thai food is generally over-rated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,after being here for so long one understands that the majority of Thai food while in abundance and extremely cheap is usually pretty poor,the quality of meat etc can at times be in edible,dishes are often full of fat, grizzle and who knows what. I just made a 6 hour round trip to stock up on some decent Australian steaks. 30 baht meals are just that. I'm off to eat a Pukka pie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Must be plenty of preservatives in these pies, I have seen them in Foodmart Jomtien with 3 week shelve life marked on them, this as well as being stored in an open chiller, they barley feel cool to the touch. So if you see one that says an expiry in 5 days, its already been in the chiller more than 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip99 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Jip - Good answer, fair play. How did your move up Norf work out? Do you miss Pattaya at all? Cheers. I had my time in Pattaya - a year or so - and enjoyed living on the Dark Side. Pattaya has facilities we can only dream of in the sticks and I go back for a few days ever 3 months or so. Isaan is not for everyone but I wanted to try a life outside of the artificiality of Pattaya (not everyone sees it that way, I fully appreciate each to their own). After running a business for 3 years I now enjoy the tranquility of the countryside (NOT a village) with occasional excursions to Pattaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pakse, Phuket, Krabi, Kanchanaburi, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville plus Bali, Hong Kong and Langkawi. Everyone needs a change of scenery sometime . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2004 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I buy all my pies at Friendship on Pattaya tai. They do a great steak/steak and kidney/pepper steak pie for 47 baht. They also stock the Yorkies (very small) pork pies at 80 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So to summarize: you're living in Thailand because you love the diversity and flavors of Thai cuisine? Indeed a chap can become 'rice logged' after a while and needs some cholesterol based sustenance once in a while which doesn't leave him having to spend 40 minutes on the bog the following day and suffering from a 'ring of fire'. The timing of this thread is dreadful. I was in Patts for a few days last week and hardly spend a bean. I'd have gone here and filled my boots....ah well, next time....

xylophone Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just loved the Yorkies Stand Pies (pork) as well as their meat and potato pies and used to buy them at Villa Market (Chalong, Phuket), but they haven't stocked them in near on a year now! Did contact Yorkies direct and they said that they were "in discussions with Villa Market" re the supply to Chalong however nothing has eventuated. I did consider ordering direct from Yorkies but know full well that if I stocked my fridge/freezer up with them I'd be into them far too much as I have the willpower of a tame rabbit as far as the Stand Pies are concerned.

Albertosez Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I will give Yorkies a Thumbs Up. They are on my doorstep too - so that helps if I crave some stodgey UK Food - which I'm sure all ex.pats do crave some home style food from time to time. I like their Pork Sausages too - very good for BBQ ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertosez Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Approx 80 Bht if you buy pies directly from their shop. Still a bit pricey me thinks - but when only home food will do, I'm yet to find a good alternative choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 They have a shop in Joemiton, I can give you the GPS numbers if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
