We visited the British Pie Awards, and it was glorious! PHOTOS
In case you've been living under a rock for the past week (or simply not following the @pierateers Twitter feed), you'll know last Wednesday was the momentous
British Pie Awards. Attracting entries of over 800 pies across 20 different classes, this truly was
pie-lovers heaven. We've already written
quite extensively about the British Pie Awards in the past, but to truly give you a taste of what it's like to be there, here are some photos of the glorious event.
SPOILER ALERT: There were a lot of pies.
