Judges at the world-famous British Pie Awards have their work cut out this year with a record-breaking 976 entries, including one made with kangaroo meat.

Returning to its traditional March timing after the Covid pandemic saw last year’s competition moved to September, 151 judges were running an expert eye over 23 different classes of hot and cold savoury and dessert pies and pasties.

The highly competitive contest, which plays out over three days, is again taking place at St Mary’s Church in the home of the pork pie, Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire.
