Leicestershire 'Moo and Blue' crowned UK's best pie
The Brockleby's pie ate up competition from more that 900 entries.
A pie, made in the East Midlands, has been crowned champion at the British Pie Awards in Melton Mowbray.
The steak, ale and stilton cheese pie named "Moo-and-Blue" is manufactured by Leicestershire-based Brockleby's Pies.
It beat off more than 900 entries with a range of fillings including Marmite-and-cheese, kebab and lasagne.
It makes a change from last year, when the title of supreme champion went to Pieminister's gluten-free Mooless Pie.
Baking began on Wednesday in Britain's unofficial pie capital, in Leicestershire.
As well as attracting a record number of pies and pastries, the awards' organisers recruited judges from major retailers, including Selfridges and Tesco, to work alongside chefs and pie experts.
Following a strong year for vegan pies in 2022, the category dropped to being the fifth most numerous among this year's entries.
Awards chairman Matthew O'Callaghan said:
"We are always highly encouraged to see the nation's love of pies at these annual awards, and this year there has been a huge level of excitement and creativity.
"On Wednesday we had the pleasure of enjoying some spectacular pies, and Brockleby's Pies has overcome exceptionally stiff competition for not only the best hot-eating savoury pie, but has triumphed over all entries and been crowned supreme champion.
"These awards celebrate the skill of British piemakers across the nation, so I'd like to say a particular congratulations to Brockleby's for this huge success."
