The Awards will be held in Melton Mowbray, the Rural Capital of Food, hosted by the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association.

Aims of the award:

To celebrate the heritage of the British pie
To protect and promote regional specialities
To recognise the craft of bakers, butchers and other producers
To support British produce

We believe the achievement of winning a British Pie Award is a valuable accolade for your business, but don't just take our word for it ......................................................

“Winning the Supreme Champion Pie Award was an unexpected surprise and honour. Given the fact we are a small team of chefs in a football club, we never even thought we had a chance of winning the award when up against bakers and specialist pie makers, but were merely hoping for a good result in the Football Pie Class, which we won as well and the Small Producer Award. Winning swept us all off our feet and were amazed at the publicity and interest in our pies. Our pies sales have soared throughout our stadium and the local area. Melton Mowbray is the home the best pie, it was truly an honour being recognised by such a well know name and people who actively pursue and maintain the traditions of good English food.”  Graham C Aimson, Head Chef, Morecambe Football Club

“Winning the Supreme Champion Pie Award for 2 consecutive years has emphasised the quality of our products and made our customers extremely proud of the award winning pies we make. On a more personal note, winning at the British Pie Awards has given me a great sense of achievement, motivation and pride” Ian Heircock, Master Pie Maker, Walkers Charnwood Bakery. 2010

“Winning 2 classes in the 2011 British Pie Awards was amazing! The feedback has been amazing and has been covered by all the local press.  It's given us confidence that we are in going in the right direction and the belief that we can be one of the best pie makers in the country.  The pies have continued to develop and I can't wait for next year’s awards where I hope to go one better” Neil Broomfield, The Great North Pie Company. 2011

"Winning such a prestigious award in the catering industry is a huge achievement and a great honour for an independent retailer such as ourselves. It is fantastic to be able to take part and be recognised among some of the bigger names in the industry and has been a tremendous boost to our profile and business"  Andreas Brunzel, Master Chef, Leonardo's Delicatessen Ltd, Ruthin 2011.

"After winning in 2009 and again in 2010 caused great excitement with my customers and staff. The press coverage generated new customers from far and wide to try our award winning products and yes I would say this had a positive impact on my business" Paul Boyle, Boghall Butchers
