Motley fools

 

Two of my favourite things. Pies & coffee. What could be better? 

Dylan & I hid from the cleaner this week @ Motley Pie & Coffee, Gowerton. I didn't realise that this was the main kitchen for the company, and only has a counter, a shelf & two barstools. Luckily, we were the only clients, so woofed down our Breakfast Pies with gay abandon. I must admit it was an excellent idea. Baked beans, sausage, bacon in a pie base, with a hash brown lid. Yummy indeed. This tickled our fancies, so two steak pies & a pork, sage & apple roll in hand, we set off to find out more. 

Their shop on the main street in 'Bont is a much more appropriate venue for pieophiles. It looked comfy & spacious, and was stocked with the full range of pies & baked delights. Noted down for our next pie adventure. 

Apparently they also have an outlet in Dinbych-y-Pysgod (or Tenby, to you), so new it's not on the website. Sounds like another adventure to be had.

The story behind the pies? You'll need a trip down under, to the home of the pie, & the soon to be defeated Wallabies. From their website:-

'Who are we?

Motley was born out of a love for food & coffee - inspired by a trip down under!

6 Years ago, a chance stop at a bakery just outside of Byron Bay changed the course of my life in an instant!

To any Aussie - Pie & Coffee go hand in hand as well as any classic combo you can compare to us Pommies! Fish & Chips, Bacon & Eggs, Tea & Biscuits...

And I for one couldn't agree more! Pie in one hand, drink in the other, that's the idea!

Call in & try for yourself! Feel that Byron Bay heat hit your face as you step out into the warm Welsh weather, pie in hand!'

More power to their pies, says I!
