A MULTI-AWARD winning Otley butchers is celebrating adding more accolades to its tally.

Geo Middlemiss & Son saw their small pork pie declared Reserve Champion at the Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers’ Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage and Products Competition last weekend.

The pie had been entered into the contest - held at Bradford’s Cedar Court Hotel - by 16 year old Luke Middlemiss who works with his father, Peter, and uncle, Martin.

The business, named Supreme Pork Pie champions last year, also finished third in the Thick Pork Sausage category.

Luke said: “I’m really chuffed as I am a first year apprentice in the family firm, so to do so well against such stiff competition is amazing. Pies have become very popular which made entering the category all the more exciting and our success all the more pleasing.”

The Otley butchers were also victorious at the recent Deliciously Yorkshire Taste Awards where they won the best ‘Free From’ product class with their gluten free Bratwurst sausage.
