We are extremely pleased to announce that we have won a Bronze Award for our Traditional Mince Beef Pie (pie & mash pie) at the annual British Pie Awards which took place in Melton Mowbray on 8th June 2011.
The British Pie Awards is an annual competition, organised and hosted by the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, they received 619 pies produced by bakers and butchers from across the country. Pies were judged by celebrity chefs, pie experts and top food writers including Rachel Green, Tamasin Day Lewis and Charles Campion.
Our mince beef pie, which is our best seller, gained a Bronze Award in the busiest category of Hot Savoury Pies. This pie has a heritage of more than 120 years of family tradition so we are extra proud of its winning status amongst so many big name competitors.
In an official press release Kane Goddard, who received his award in the Hot Savoury Pie category, commented: “We know these Awards are the crème de la crème of British Pies and we are very pleased to get this recognition from the best food experts of the country and amongst the best pie makers. Our family business started in 1890 and this is a great achievement for our first year of entering the competition. We will continue to produce quality, hand made pies and we will be back in the competition next year”.
Chairman of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, Matthew O’Callaghan, commented: “We are thrilled with the standard of pies that we have tasted. The Association organises these Awards to celebrate the heritage of the British Pie and it makes us very proud seeing the variety and quality of the pies presented. We hope this helps to encourage consumers to continue enjoying authentic regional produce.”
