Pie Club History
|
Lindley butcher John Bradley has won the annual Pork Pie competition held at
Ripponden’s Old Bridge Inn.
It was his first success at the fifth time of trying, and he beat 45 other
entries from around the country.
Mr Bradley said “I’m very pleased. I changed my recipe by altering the
pastry slightly to try to win the prize this time.”
He said his secret was “good quality British pork, a special secret
seasoning and a good combination of pastry, meat and gravy.”
Mr Bradley usually sells about 300 pork pies a week, but publicity about
his prize-winning pies has doubled sales.
“I was at It making pies all yesterday and I’ve a lot to do today, too” he
said.
The Pork Pie Appreciation Society meets regularly at the Old Bridge to
test and taste pies.
