Pork Pie Workshops

With over 170 years of expertise and craft behind us, we know a thing or two about making Pork Pies. Indulge in Melton Mowbray’s finest tasting experience. You will discover the fascinating story of how Melton Mowbray became associated with the famous pork pie, Stilton cheese, the link with hunting and exactly why an uthentic Melton Mowbray pork pie is so unique.

One of our bakers with then give a step-by-step demonstration on how a hand-raised pork pie was traditionally made. After you will have the opportunity to ask our baker any questions. Then on to the very best bit – the sampling and making! Taste our very own Melton Mowbray pork pie made with outdoor bred pork, bone stock jelly and hot water crust pastry. You will then get to hand-raise your very own pork pie with personalised pastry initials on top!

To ensure your pork pie the freshest and best quality, they will be chilled overnight and baked fresh the following morning. These can be collected from Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe from 1.30pm. Alternatively these can be posted out to your address at £10.
