Mud Pies Awards
Our Wonderful Pie Awards
When we enter our pies into the British Pie Awards and the Great Taste Awards, we send pies that are part of that day's batch we've made; no kidology, nothing 'especially' created just for the judges. If you were on the judging panel, you'd recognise the pies as the ones that Mud makes day in day out, we call it being honest.
And at Mud, we're immensely proud of all the awards we've won over the years because it's recognition for the hard work and exacting standards that me and all my 'Mud Family' strive towards each and every day. Perhaps that's why we've been judged as one of Britain's most highly awarded artisan pie makers, but our most important judges are YOU!

Steak and Kidney Pie
Undeniably the heavyweight when it comes to impressing the judges and the first pie my grandmother taught me to make. The judges commented: "loved this pie and could easily have finished off the lot. Good pastry, plenty of filling, distinct pieces of tender meat and kidney – we would buy it.", "the meat is chunky and succulent and the gravy just right" and "the pastry is excellent, short and of good flavour. The filling is rich and generous with real depth of flavour."

Steak and Stilton Pie

Lamb, Redcurrant and Rosemary Pie
Using only lean, tender chunks of lamb, not minced, this is a customer favourite. The judges said: "nice looking homemade pie", "the lamb is sweet and tender and the flavours of all the ingredients came through and were evenly balanced", "a good honest pie." We're all about honesty — from the local sourcing of our natural ingredients to the use of our traditional methods.
