Calling all York butchers, bakers and pork pie makers – the search for the perfect pork pie is on.
The annual competition to find the perfect pork pie is set to return for its third year at Bedern Hall, and it’s looking for entries.
Part of the the York Food and Drink Festival, the event aims to attract entries from across the York area in the search for the perfect pie.
The competition will take place on Friday 27 September at 6.30pm at Bedern Hall.
Director of Bedern Hall, Roger Lee said, “It’s a real link to York’s history to stage this event in Bedern Hall given that prior to restoration the Hall was part of the famous William Wright’s Pork Butchers.
“The pork pie is our original street-food and we will be looking to York locals and visitors alike to help judge who makes the perfect pork pie.”
This year, the awards will be presented by renowned pie maker Andrew Voakes, and sponsored by The Company of Butchers of the City of York.
The winners in 2023 were Voakes Pies in the Traditional category and Ged Bell Butchers in the Flavoured category.
