As I was walking away last weekend, dazed and confused after the Stuttgart game, I noticed part of the fare on offer inside the Lane includes a vegan pie. I know they did some sort of vegan roll last season but no way was I forking out £4.50 for a roll. But a pie! I've been a vegan for 35 years and never imagined eating a pie at a game. A whole new universe may be about to open up.....

Filling? As in what was it, not what was it filling?

Oh, I've not had one yet. I think it's like 'vegetarian option', vegan pie is you get what you're given. Could be anything. Received with gratitude, don't complain. If I do have one I'll report back.

Short answer: none of us have been. Long answer: we'll add it to our list for places to try this season. What's good?

You've gotta meet King Kev (owner & Blade), it's a fantastic place to visit, loads of regular customers. I got for the Salt Fish & Ackie with a Dumpling & some of Kevs sexy juice. But the Brown Stew Chicken & Ox Tail is also very tasty.

Nice. Well one of us can give it a whirl, or our door is open if you want to take some snaps, do some eating and share a review.

Really helpful guide but then I am biased. Quite a few places I didn’t know about.

Good list. Need to try Phat buns. I really don’t get Best Boy though. The bagels are terrible and the filling I had was bland. I also had to wait 45 minutes for my bagel (despite pre-ordering it a specific time). Shame as when they were doing Bao at Barrowboy, they were very good. Should have stuck to that.
