An Otley Butchers Business has taken the National Supreme Championship for not one but two of its products.

Geo. Middlemiss & Son‘s traditional pork pie and a specialty hot eating pie were judged best at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham. The event was organized by the National Federation of Meat and Food Traders and the national Association of master Bakers in conjunction with the British Pig Executive (BPEX).

The firm already holds the Harvey Nichols Best Yorkshire pie evaluation award for 2007 plus the BPEX North West Champion Pie award for 2008.

They are also past Yorkshire supreme pork pie champion and attribute their success to the use of locally sourced ingredients. Peter Middlemiss said: “this means that we not only make the best pies in Yorkshire and Lancashire having won the top Yorkshire and Lancashire awards, but have now been judged the best nationally".
