National Trust beats Pubs in Steak Pie Contest

National Trust beats Pubs in Steak Pie Contest

Against the odds, in a championship cook-off final that included five pub chefs and a single National Trust chef, the sole non-pub contender walked away with the trophy in The National Steak Pie Competition 2007.

The winner was Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire with the runners up being pubs spread across the country. All the finalists were commended for the quality ingredients they had sourced so I shall now make it a personal challenge to try and get to try each one!

Today's pub walk: The Filly Inn (walk 2) in The New Forest, Hants.

EBLEX English Steak Pie Competition 2007

EBLEX English Steak Pie Competition 2007

As gastro pubs sweep the country, there remain some traditional English dishes that we will always associate with our true pubs and surely the steak pie must be one of those. It is therefore no surprise that pubs account for 16 of the 18 semi-finalists in the competition to find the National Steak Pie Champion.

As the competition moves to its next stage, judges will be turning up unannounced at the pubs' doors to sample the pies, making it also an ideal time for anyone to do the same! If these pies are usually excellent, just think what they could be with judges expected...

For a full list of the semi-finalists plus previous winners, go to EBLEX English Steak Pie Competition 2007.

Today's participating pub: The Crown Inn in Taunton, Somerset.
Prizes offered: A champagne dinner for two.
