A pie ‘superfan’ travelled all the way from Kent to Preston and then proceeded to spend £150 on pies, according to LancsLive. And the man made the herculean journey in order to sample one pie in particular.
Gornalls Pies are sold, among other places across the north, by Redmans of Preston, the famous delicatessen located in Preston Market. Owner Sandra Steel told how the pasty-fixated gentleman drove all the way from the seaside town of Margate, via Wales to pick up his mother, before arriving at Redmans.
The journey, without the Welsh detour, is a solid 316 miles one way, and can take over five hours. He then proceeded to splash the cash on the Preston-made delicacies.
