Bit embarressing really!
We recently entered the British Pie Awards at Melton Mowbray.
Dropped off 9 pies to be judged against the best in the whole of the UK in various categories.
Didn't hear anything, so presumed we were not placed anywhere.
There were over 900 entrants this year.
WE HAVE ONLY BEEN MAKING PIES FOR LESS THAN A YEAR!!
And the results just released today.......
Steak Ale and Mushroom........Gold
Chicken Balti......Gold
Chicken Gammon and Leek.....Gold and Bronze (two categories entered)
Butternut and spicy veg......Gold and Bronze (two categories entered)
Just to give some perspective on this whole event.
Some of the entrants only Small Batch Producers. Possibly 200 pies a week, such as Piebury Corner.
We produce 8,500 - 10,000 a week, every week!!
This, our very first season, we have produced in excess of 250,000 pies.
So all you lot who have been chowing down on free pies, hope they were good?
