Bakers are battling it out for the top prize in pies in Melton today.
The British Pie Awards 2013 are taking place at St Mary's Church, in the town, with almost 1,000 pies being entered into 20 classes, including best football pie, pub pie and fish pie.
The main event, however, is the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie category, which only authentic products – recognised by European specifications – are allowed to enter.
The competition has attracted celebrity pie lover, cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew, who is one of the judges for the day and has 50 steak and kidney entries to work his way through.
All of the entries will be judged today and the winners, including the Supreme Champion pie-maker, of each category will be announced tomorrow.Tweets by @BritishPies
