J Lord & Son Pies in Final of National Competition!On Saturday 29th March at a blustery and rather moist Bridge Inn at Ripponden, the 16th Annual Pork Pie Club of Great Britain Competition took place and was hotly contested as usual by almost 50 entrants. We made it to the final round of judging but narrowly missed out on a podium finish. the company are delighted to have attained a rosette however in this well respected national competition which this year hit new standards for the quality of entrants. The results summary can be seen on the Pork Pie Appreciation Society website here. Away from the hot-house of the competition, Sales Director and chief pie man John Lord played host to a special marquee where he gave demonstations of artisan pie making skills throughout the day to raise money for the Pie Club charities. This even won us a well-earned spot in the limelight which you can see below....
J Lord & Son - Take & Bake Launches Salamander Pie!We have teamed up with Bradford micro-brewery, Salamander to create a delicious steak & ale pie to be sold to pubs. John, Jonny, Chris & Dan will be targetting pubs that sell their beer initially but anyone that is interested in selling the pies over their bar is welcome to talk to us. The product was launched to landlords at the Royal Hotel, Great Horton Road on Tuesday 11th March, which was the first pub in Bradford to start stocking Slamander ales. The CAMRA pub coined as 'Bradford's best kept secret' always has Salamander on draught. J Lord & Son are excited about prospects for the product, Sales Director John Lord said, 'as we know from selling our traditional pork pies into pubs already, the addition of a fresh baked, high quality bar top snack helps landlords keep client on the premises for longer meaning they spend a little more over the bar as well as buying the pie!'
