Even now, when people ask what I do… It feels strange to say that I make pork pies! In April 2010 I was made redundant from a marketing assistant post and looked for an alternative position.
But I couldn’t find anything suitable. My husband had always savoured the taste of my cooking and suggested that I started making… ‘those fantastic pork pies’. And so it began.
Years before, my dad, and granddad before him, had made pork pies to an old family recipe. One vital piece of equipment that they employed was a pie-making machine called the ‘Little Champion’.
To assist my efforts to replicate this special family recipe, the Little Champion was brought back from retirement and following a few repairs, it was put to productive use again.
