A trip out
to Harties on the R512, just wouldn't be the same without stopping at "The
Home of the Chicken Pie" on the way there or on the way back. Grabbing a cup of coffee before we leave
home is about the most we do, so after the 40 odd minutes it takes for us to
get to Maggies Farm, we are starving.
The plus
is that at this time of the morning they haven’t got busy yet, so no queues for
pies, tables etc. It's best to go and order your pies as a takeaway, pay and
find a place to sit in the garden. This way you get to eat a whole lot faster
and no waiting!
We have always
found the pies to have loads of chicken in them, unlike most chicken pies that
have more gravy and a few bits of chicken floating somewhere in-between.
Its well worth
browsing around the antique shop for bargains, the beading and wirework that stretching
over the paving is just fabulous. Aren't these tails wonderful!
