Pieminister win at 2017 Great Taste Awards
Bristol-based pie company Pieminister have won the ultimate accolade in the food world, as their MooDog pie was awarded three gold stars in the Great Taste Awards.
Just 165 of the 12,366 products entered into this year’s awards received three gold stars, the highest possible score awarded by the Guild of Fine Food.
On hearing the news, Pieminister co-founder Jon Simon said: “Tristan and I will never forget winning our first Great Taste Awards in 2005. It was a special day for us and a huge boost to our confidence as young pie-makers. We’ve won many more since then and each one is a big deal, as the awards are a mark of quality that our customers trust in.
is needed now More than ever
“To win our first three gold star award this year is cause for celebration here in our Bristol kitchens as it’s testament that our pies just keep getting better and better!”
The MooDog pie, made with British beef steak, free range British smoked bacon and craft ale, was not the only one that Pieminister entered into the awards.
Their Moo & Blue (steak and stilton pie) was awarded two gold stars, and both their Gluten Free Ranger (chicken and ham) and Pieminister’s Cracker (turkey) were given one gold star apiece by the judging panel.
