Worth a visit

Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe in Melton Mowbray have been baking pork pies since 1851. They now have the dual acclaim of being the oldest pork pie bakery and the last remaining producer of authentic Melton Mowbray pork pies based in the town. In recent years, due to unprecedented demand, the baking of these pies also takes place at a larger bakery located just outside of Leicester.
