A Skipton pie maker won its fourth successive championship at the fifth annual Great Northern Pork Pie Competition at Skipton Auction Mart.

Farmhouse Fare, which makes pies at its Skipton bakery and has a shop in the town centre, again clinched the title with its first prize stand pie. Farmhouse Fare’s Janet Green dedicated the prize to her late father Ted Lee, founder of the business, who died earlier this year. The shop was also runner-up in the speciality pie class and third in a new competition class for sausage rolls.

The speciality pie first prize winner was Lunds Family Butchers in Keighley, which also won third prize in the traditional pork pie class. Runner-up was Geo Middlemiss & Son, of Otley, which also won the Scotch eggs class.
