Dan Leaver of Dan's Pies has won a Silver Award in the Great British Food Awards for his Steak & Wetherby Brew Co Ale Pie.

Dan Leaver of Dan's Pies in Pocklington has won a Silver Award in the Great British Food Awards for his Steak & Wetherby Brew Co Ale Pie. The ceremony took place in London last week, but Leaver did not attend as he chose to continue selling his pies on Pocklington market rather than leave his customers without stock.

Leaver said he was pleased with the recognition. 'We're absolutely over the moon to add another national award, especially for a pie that has already done us so proud,' he said. He also thanked Wetherby Brew Co for the local ale used in the pie.

The award marks further success for his business. Leaver has also been shortlisted for an EYUP Award, which celebrates East Yorkshire businesses as a whole, rather than judging individual products. He described being shortlisted alongside other local businesses and producers as something he is 'incredibly proud of'.
