It's Raining Awards For Our Pies and Pasties!!

🏅Our 2025 Taste Of The West Award Winners...

We’ve only gone and done it again!!

 The results are in from the Taste of the West Awards 2025 - and we Chunk Hunks are hauling back a stash of shiny medals big enough to sink a tractor!

From proper pasties to seriously awesome pies, our bakes brought home GOLD after GOLD after GOLD (with a couple of Silvers, too).

And it’s not just us – our gluten-free sister bakery Baked to Taste only went and smashed it too.

Safe to say, we’re buzzing. Let’s tuck in…

 The Chunk Gold Medallists

Smokin’ Beef Brisket Pie – GOLD
This beast has been flying under the radar, but no more. Slow-cooked beef brisket, smoky richness, layers of depth... judges called it big and bold. We call it a pie that eats like a meal.

Chicken, Leek & Bacon Pie – GOLD
An absolute customer fave, and now officially golden. Creamy chicken, sweet leek, salty bacon, all bundled into buttery pastry. Comfort food doesn’t get much better!!

Steak & Ale Pie – GOLD
The pie that puts hairs on your chest (or so we’ve been told). Tender steak in a rich ale gravy. Judges loved its depth and balance. A real pub classic done the Chunk way.

Ultimate Steak Pie – GOLD
When we say Ultimate, we mean it. Steak, onions, and bacon lardons in a lush red wine gravy. It’s indulgence in a pie case, and now it’s got the bling to prove it.

Sheep Pie – GOLD
We don’t dress up our mutton as lamb – this is straight-talking Sheep Pie, the real deal. Tender mutton (or lamb), redcurrant gravy, peas, swede, carrot, mint. Properly hearty, properly gold.

Steak Pasty – GOLD
Our hallowed 16x Great Taste Award-winner just keeps stacking up the accolades. Big chunky steak, potato, swede, onion, pepper – and apparently the judges agree, it’s still the pasty to beat!!

Butter Chicken Curry Pasty – GOLD
Creamy, spiced chicken curry tucked inside pastry. A pasty with a twist that judges couldn’t resist. Street food meets West Country – and it’s golden!!

Chunki Roast Veg Pasty – GOLD
Proof that veggies don’t need to sit quietly in the corner!! Roasted veg, bold seasoning, wrapped up Chunk-style. A meat-free pasty with full-throttle flavour.

🥈 The Chunk Silvers

Squealer Pork Pie – SILVER 
Yep, this awesome porkie managed to bag a medal!! Rich pork, perfectly seasoned, with that classic chunky bite. One for the picnic basket, and one for bragging rights.

Posh Fish Pie – SILVER
A posh little number that doesn’t mess around. Creamy filling, chunky fish, buttery mash topping. Judges clearly enjoyed the seaside swagger on this one!!

 Baked to Taste Brilliance

Our gluten-free sister bakery didn’t just tag along – they cleaned up too. Here’s their medal haul:

• Steak Pasty (Gluten Free) – GOLD

• Ruby Murray Veggie Curry Pasty (Gluten Free) – GOLD

• Sticky Jamaican Ginger Cake – GOLD

• Farmhouse Fruit Cake – GOLD

• Christmas Cake (Gluten Free & Vegan) – GOLD

• Steak & Kidney Pie (Gluten Free) – GOLD

• Chicken, Mushroom & Tarragon Pie – Commended

That’s a serious show of GF power right there. Proving (again) that gluten-free doesn’t mean flavour-free!!

Why We’re Buzzing 🐝

We’re not in this game to stack up shiny medals (though we’re not complaining). What really matters is that these awards prove something we’ve always stuck to:

👉 We never cut corners.
👉 We always use the best local meat and veg.
👉 We’re all about Tasty. Special. Natural.

The fact that judges and customers alike keep backing us? That’s the cherry on top. Or should we say… the gravy on the pie.

Fancy a Bite of the Winners?

If all this talk has got you drooling, we don’t blame you. Head over to the shop, grab yourself some of our Taste of the West champions, and taste the gold for yourself.

Because medals are nice, but pasties in your belly? Much nicer!

Go on - Take a Chunk!
