Roast at London’s Borough Market has now joined the awards as a national sponsor and pie connoisseurs are now in with a chance of their winning pie being featured on the restaurant’s menu.
Stuart Cauldwell, British Pie Award judge and head chef at Roast, said: “Working with the British Pie Awards is such a perfect-fit for us as the event celebrates one of Britain’s most traditional and popular dishes. I’m looking forward to finding a pie suitable for our menu, whether that be hot, cold, sweet or savoury.”
The awards feature 20 classes for pie producers to enter including this year’s Speciality Class which allows creatives to bake a pie ‘fit for The Queen’s 90th birthday.
Roast joins over 20 other sponsors supporting the event, which for the first time will be held during British Pie Week (9-13 March 2016).
Judging takes place on Wednesday 9th March with the Awards announced at a luncheon on Friday 11th March 2016. The closing date for entries is 22 February 2016.
