In 2021, a pie inspired by a chip shop beat the best in Britain. Our Chip Shop Chicken Curry Pie was named Class Champion at the British Pie Awards. The story behind it is pure Mud. The idea goes back to Christian's younger days at his local chippy, where curry sauce was the side order of choice. He took that nostalgic flavour — the one millions of us grew up with — and reimagined it as a proper handmade pie. Inside: succulent free-range British chicken in a mild, sweet curry sauce, infused with fresh ginger, chilli and coriander, all encased in Christian's butter-rich shortcrust pastry. That same pie went on to win Aldi's Next Big Thing on Channel 4, and featured on ITV's This Morning, where the presenters called it "really good," "lovely," and "delicious." But here's why this matters for a buyer. A Class Champion title isn't a marketing line — it's an independent judgment, made by experts, against the best pies in the country. When you put this pie on your shelf or your menu, you're not asking your customers to take our word for it. You're giving them a product that's already been recognised as the best in its class. It's quirky. It's got a loyal following. And it's available for trade — including a gluten-free version. If you'd like to add an award-winning talking point to your range, we'd love to hear from you. 📩 [email protected] 📞 01243 959007 #BritishPieAwards #ArtisanFood #WholesaleFood #FoodService #MudFoods #Mudpies
