I live in Nottingham and sometimes get the train to Longton when visiting my family in Blurton. I didn't even know the Wright's Pies shop was there until about a year ago when I happened to take a different route back to the station!
Anyway, I usually get my oatcakes wherever I can, with Tesco being the last resort because, well, the ones they stock aren't great. As they're usually flying visits, sometimes it's hard to get any, but since finding the Wright's shop I go there if possible.
The oatcakes they sell are made by Kidsgrove Oatcakes and I'm thrilled to bits with them.
I made my shortest trip yet on Thursday, stepping off the train at Longton at 3:30pm and having to be back on it at 6:30am the next day. 3:30pm is not far off closing time and on occasions I have been there in the afternoon only to find they've sold out.
So this time I called them on Thursday morning and asked them to save me a couple of packs, and they did, and it was a good job as they had otherwise sold out by the time I got there. The staff on the phone and in the shop were very friendly and now I'm stocked up, although it's now Sunday and I've already eaten 8 out of 12 of the oatcakes. 🤦🏻♀️
Brilliant little shop and it will be my first choice for oatcakes...

If you get the chance try them together...
