Some guy named Sidney pours his drink on the bouncer's feet. The bouncer gets mad and a fight ensues. "Savage Sid" uses a switchblade as a weapon, whereas Benny the Bouncer uses a meat pie. (You've got to wonder, where's the logic in that?) Sid wins (unsurprisingly). He stabs the bouncer in the head. He dies (unsurprisingly). But then he goes to heaven and so now he's the bouncer at the Pearly Gates. Presumably, he is not using pie as a weapon anymore.
It's actually a pretty funny story...at least it is to me...
I thought the "cold meat pie" might be cockney rhyming slang for something but an Internet search shows up nothing but speculation... But I did come across that a "Ted" might be a "Teddy Boy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Boy

I've always taken "cold meat pie" to mean his fist, but maybe that's just me.

Now, more importantly, does anyone have a clue what "The end of a ted" means?

@Pippin the Mercury Benny didn't "choose" a meat pie as a weapon. Benny was thoroughly beaten and killed, "and Benny got a cold meat pie."
