At The Original Baker, we take great pride in our handcrafted baked goods. We only ever use the finest, freshest ingredients and our dedicated team never compromise when it comes to the time and effort they put into each and every bake.
We know that everything that comes out of our kitchen has been made to exacting standards but we are always delighted when our dedication to quality is recognised.
In April, our dedicated team attended the prestigious Farm Shop and Deli show at the NEC in Birmingham with a selection of our delicious products.
Filled with 400+ exhibitors showcasing top-quality products from the specialist food and drink sector, competition at the show is understandably fierce, so we were delighted to receive awards for several of our products.
Our handcrafted pies proved a firm favourite, with our Steak and Ale, Slow Roast Pork and Creamy Cider, and our vegan Woodland Mushroom and Dark Ale pies all receiving silver awards. Our Hog Roast Sausage Roll, with its crispy crackling crumb topping, performed equally well, highlighting why it is one of our best-selling products.
Our sweet offerings were also recognised for their outstanding quality, with our Cherry Bakewell Mini Loaf Cake and our indulgent White Chocolate Millionaire’s Shortbread both receiving bronze awards.
Elsewhere, our Steak and Ale Pie, with its mouth-watering filling of British-bred beef and Blackheart Stout Ale, also impressed the judges, receiving a silver award at the British Pie Awards.
On top of that, our tasty pies are also award winning through the Guild of Fine Food who were impressed with the buttery, crisp pastry and generous filling of our Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom pie, describing it as “perfect for lunch after a long dog walk”.
These accolades are a testament to the hard work and expertise of our bakers and we look forward to returning to the Farm Shop and Deli Show next year with a fresh batch of products.
If you’re attending the show, come along and see us and try our delicious baked goods for yourself. If you can't wait until then, please get in touch to arrange a sample of our products - we'd love to hear from you.
