The British Pie Awards’ judges decision on the coveted Melton Mowbray pork pie of the year has been announced. The winning producers are our friends the Hartland brothers at Mrs King’s. They beat off stiff competition – no fewer than 326 pies are tasted across the various categories – to take this year’s top prize. We’ve stocked their pies for 10 years now and for a consistently delicious, strictly Melton Mowbray pork pie, we think they are unbeatable.
