It’s not always easy to pin down just what makes the perfect pork pie, but the best ones include rough chopped pork, pork jelly and a hot water crust pastry. While Melton Mowbray is well known for its pies and even enjoys protected designation of origin status for those that bear its name, there are other places that provide high quality pork pies. Notably, such artisan pork pies are known to be found in centres of excellence in both Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Bradwell Butchery is rightly proud of its pies which are prepared on site. We’re particularly proud of our Norfolk Nobbler pork pie, made from locally sourced and raised pork. Maybe one day Bradwell will also have its own designation of origin status for pies? In the mean time, accept no imposters; the only genuine Bradwell pork pies come from Bradwell Butchery!
