Pie Club History
|
Thousands of pork pie eaters agree that Andrew Jones makes the best.
The Brighouse butcher won the title of champion pie maker in a
competition which attracted 51 contestants to the Old Bridge Inn,
Ripponden.
Mr Jones took over the former Brayshaw's shop in Bethel Street, in
August, and also runs a shop in Marsh, Huddersfield.
He has a team of eight bakers and also sells thousands of pies weekly
through other outlets.
And after 24 years in the trade he said a traditional recipe using good
quality ingredients is the key to success.
He has won the title three times and is also the national Cornish pasty
champion.
"Nice, tasty meat, a crusty pie, and well glazed appearance, will keep
people buying pies from independent butchers and away from
super-markets," he said.
