Mrs Kings Pork Pies

When Elizabeth King started making pork pies back in 1853, little did she realise what she was setting in motion. She would probably have been shocked – and more than a little proud – if she knew that her name would be immortalised at one of the world’s most famous markets more than a century and half later. Her Melton Mowbray pies now have dedicated PGI status, meaning they can only be made in a particular way in a specific area of Nottinghamshire. Each pie uses fresh pork and rich jelly, cooked inside golden brown pastry.
