The Butchers Best Pie Comp - 1st August 2025
Each year, the annual Vadals Pie Competition attracts the finest culinary artisans from across butcher shops, celebrating creativity and quality in the art of pie-making. The competition highlights the craft, quality and inspiration that butchers put into their pies.
The competition is judged on two main criteria: the creativity of the pie designs, and the taste! Butchers from all over submit their best pies, each hoping to impress the panel of judges with their unique blends of ingredients and artistic presentation. The fillings are scrutinized for texture, flavour, and balance, while the creative aspect is judged on originality and visual appeal.
Entries range from classic meat pies with a gourmet twist to bold new combinations that push the boundaries of traditional pie-making. Past years have seen inventive fillings such as smoked brisket and corned meat with white sauce, and even mud crab, caught by the butcher himself. The event not only highlights the skill and imagination of butchers but shows that with their knowledge of meat, butchers make the best pies. A custom made belt goes to the winner each year, to hang proudly in their shop showing all that the butcher is the master of the pie.
