It may only be October but we’re already looking forward to British Pie Week, which takes place from the 7th to 13th March next year.

It’s a great chance for our pubs to bring this British staple to the forefront of their food menu (and a good excuse to sample plenty of delicious pastry!).

In addition, this year pub chefs with a passion for pies can enter the Pub Pie Champion 2011 competition by submitting their recipes online.

Customers can also nominate their favourite pubs to receive the award.Find out more about British Pie Week and enter the competition on the British Pie Week website; Admiral landlords who want to get involved can contact our My Pub Food team for advice on how to make the most of their menu.
