The Pork Pie is a true British classic. It is usually eaten at room temperature and consists of a thick and crumbly hot water crust pastry encasing a roughly chopped, highly seasoned pork filling.
For me, the best bit is the pork bone-stock jelly that lines the pastry sides.
After quite a battle in the European Court between Northern Foods and representatives of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association over 'protected status', the name Melton Mowbray can now only be applied to uncured pork-filled pies cooked without supporting hoops and made within a 10.8 square mile zone around the Melton Mowbray.
"The thing I can't resist is a pork pie. That's my idea of a lovely treat."

Sweet, Rich & Fiery
Sticky Pickle
An absolute favourite for pie lovers.
A scrumptiously sticky pickle with our own unique blend of vegetables in a sweet and spicy sauce made with molasses and black treacle. This truly is - the Patron Saint of Pork pies.
Fig Relish
This little beauty is an absolute joy in a jar.
It is packed with juicy sweet marinated figs and a tang of cider vinegar, a thick relish that also sits beautifully on water biscuits with the maturity of a strong blue cheese.
Classic English Mustard
It's hot, it's smooth, it's an all round winner.
This is our own special take on an old English classic. Our recipe and amazing ingredients create a smooth, strong mustard but without the 'burn' you get with some that forget mustard is there to complement the flavours of the meat. If you like mustard we're pretty sure you'll love this!
Red Onion Marmalade
A wonderful addition to just about anything.
This is one of our most popular relishes, being lusciously thick with caramelised red onions in sticky black treacle and a sharp balsamic finish. It's a full flavoured relish with a delicious sweet sauce, amazing with just about anything - try it with grilled cheese on toast.
Chilli Jam
Exciting taste sensations for anything needing a little added ‘wow’
This is a delicious sticky jam, oozing with flavour from the sweet chilli peppers, red peppers and chillis. Spoon it onto and into anything that deserves a bit of chilli enlightenment. Try it on cheese scones, spoon it into your chilli con carne or add a little 'bite' to a sheepish Shepherd's Pie.
