A number of pie makers from Greater Manchester have won big at the 2023 British Pie Awards.
More than 900 pies were entered for the annual competition, which takes place in the pork pie capital of Britain, Melton Mowbray. While Greater Manchester's top pie makers didn't take home any of the major trophies, several pies were commended and awarded gold, silver and bronze medals.
Among the entrants were Crown Hawk Green and Ate Days A Week in Stockport, Little Saddleworth Pies in Oldham, Cake Loves Cake in Greenheys, The Vegan Picnic Basket in Old Trafford, and HM Pasties in Bolton - the project for ex-offenders which won the vegan pie category in 2022 for its chickpea curry pasty.
