The new look market will see the first release of purpose built food units along the Byram Street side of the building. There's also a wide open food piazza opening on the Northumberland Street side of the building, completed in August, 2008.

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!'
