The Rural Capital of Food is the obvious place to hold these awards!
The Pie is one of the icons of British cuisine. Savoury or sweet, hot or cold, the British eat millions of them every year.
These Awards are a national celebration of British Pies in all their varieties and have been running since 2009.
The Awards are held in Melton Mowbray, the Rural Capital of Food, and hosted by the
Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association
For the purposes of the Awards a pie is defined as the following: ‘A Pie is deemed to be a filling wholly encased in pastry and baked’.
The Awards are held in the beautiful St Mary’s Church in Melton Mowbray.
