Wadworth’s Winning Wooly Rucker

The results are in from the Wadworth Brewery annual Pie Competition. Drum roll please… the winning pie was The Wooly Rucker from Chris at the Greyhound Inn! The pie consisted of braised leg of lamb in dirty rucker ale with mint and rosemary short crust pastry pie.

Chris won an I.O.Shen Mastergrade 3 Knife Gift Set, which includes a Chef Knife, a Sahm Khom Knife and Pointed Paring Knife courtesy of Essential Cuisine. He also secured himself a £300 cash prize with his masterpiece Wooly Rucker now being produced by Pieminster and listed on all Wadsworth menus. All four finalists have also received; a personalised chef jacket, apron, oven cloth and a skull cap.

Essential Cuisine would like to congratulate all contenders on their delicious pastry delights and say a big well done to Chris and his Wooly Rucker. The Stock People proudly sponsor Wadworth’s Pie Competition each year and hope to see more pie-tastic creations next year...
