GREAT YORKSHIRE CHAMPIONS CROWNED
Hinchliffes Farm Shop of Sunny Side Farm, Netherton, saw its champion large
pork pie then go on to take the overall supreme pie championship. Hinchliffes are no strangers to success in the biggest and best-known regional meat trades
competition in the country. They are former supreme sausage champions, also
landing the reserve sausage championship last year. For good measure this year, Hinchliffes also came second in the thick pork sausage class. The reserve supreme champion pie, which had earlier been chosen as the champion small pork pie, was presented by another prolific past winner, Woods Butchers, of High Street, Carcroft, Doncaster. Woods, supreme pork pie champions in 2005 and black pudding champions last year, also won this year’s speciality cold eating pie class and finished runners-up in both the large pork pie and black pudding categories. The best sausage in Yorkshire comes from Wharfedale. The supreme sausage championship fell to Kevin Jubb Butchers, of Little Lane, Ilkley, with their champion thin pork sausage.
The best black pudding in Yorkshire comes from Arthur Haigh Butchers, of Dalton Airfield Industrial Estate, Thirsk, who also landed the same championship in 2004. Yorkshire’s best beefburger comes from Skipton, with Sutcliffes Butchers, of Otley Street, achieving a debut Great Yorkshire championship success.
Joining sponsors and product donators in presenting the trophies were Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Councils President, retired Leeds butcher Bob Leary, and William Lloyd Williams, President of the National Federation of Meat & Food Traders. A date is already in place for the 2008 Great Yorkshire competition, Sunday 19 October, again at Bradford’s Cedar Court Hotel. 2007 competition resultsSUPREME PORK PIE CHAMPION, awarded the Bob Thirsk Rose Bowl and 1,000 carrier bags from William Jones Packaging – Hinchliffes Farm Shop, Netherton.
