Jonno's Pies The Best Famous Scouse Pies Ever In Liverpool

They have been at the heart of their communities for decades
Johnson's Butchers has been a permanent fixture on Mill Street in Toxteth for over 100 years.
The shop was originally owned by Mr Johnson, who back then also owned a supermarket and a bakers on the street.
For the last 38 years the butchers has been in the hands of Mike Cleaver and his wife Esther and is still going strong.
Mike says that what brings customers through the doors each day is the pies - known as 'Jonno's pies.'
"The original is what we call a Scouse pie and we also do Steak and Kidney and Lamb Balti to order.
"People come from everywhere for them. They come from over the water, from Huyton and Kirkby.
"They don't go in ones or twos, people buy 10 or 15 pies at once. We sell out everyday. It's because of the pies that we're still here."
Mike said there was a surge in demand during lockdown because people didn't want to go to the supermarket to buy their meat.
Since restrictions were eased last month he says the demand has slowed down, but the butchers is still popular with regulars and new customers alike.
if anyone has a place for pies to recommend pleaee let me know in the comments as i like a good pie

    Good video mate , as a kid growing up in the sixties we use to buy scouse pies in a few places around breckfield road . And the one thing I can clearly remember was that a Scouse pie them didn’t have a top crust , it was simply the gravy that has hardened. They tasted amazing . I always bought one when coming back from Margaret street swimming baths .

    In the 30 odd years I’ve had a Johnnos pie I’ve only ever eaten the meat and potato. They’re just that nice I didn’t wanna try the other ones. I showed me mum and dad the old ferry terminal for the garden festival at otterspool from your video. All the times we walked past it and never knew what it was.

    The best ever Scouse Pie came from Baxters or Hollands - I really can't remember who made them. They had Scouse in a round foil tin, topped with flaky pastry. I ain't seen them in ages but they were beautiful. They were the local equivalent of the Cornish pasty. I'm surprised nobody does them anymore.

    The pies look great mate. Sent me right back to the 1960s ..there used to be a "Pie factory" C/O ARTHUR STREET ,opp the the "METAL BOX " Walton, to the side of Walton Hospital. They used to stack the pies on their racks along the wall of the Pie Factory to cool(straight out the ovens. Me andthe mates worked in "WONDERLOAF" Taylors Bakery as VAN LADS. We'd usually get back to our Depot around 10.30 in the morning after our bread round (5am start) andhead straight to the pie factory to grab acouple of pies to walk homw with. (my choice was "SNAKE + KIDERLY". I lived a mile away from work and the pies were that HOT you'd end up walking in the house still trying to eat the boilng hot pie. They charged us 6d (a tanner per pie) 5p nowadays???. I think they supplied "WONDERLOAF" with pies + all the local chippies. GREAT VID YA PIG...ENJOY MATE
