The 12th British Pie Awards was won by a Top Rump Steak & Stilton Pie.
The world-renowned Awards, which take place annually in the Rural Capital of Food Melton Mowbray, saw close to 900 pies entered by a whopping 160 professional bakers, butchers and chefs from around the country. The Awards mark the grand crescendo of British Pie Week, celebrated 2nd-8th March 2020.
Made by family-run bakery, Turner’s Pies, the Top Rump & Steak & Stilton Pie replaces last year’s Curried Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Vegan Pie as champion.
Claiming victory in the Vegan category, MUD Foods (also nicknamed Mud Pies) was judged Class Champion for its Squash, Spinach and Feta Pie.
