Ginsters took home a staggering five awards at the 12th British Pie Awards.

The event champions Britain’s best pie makers and baking talent but in true Cornish style it wasn’t pies that got them recognised.

Their vegan take on the traditional Cornish pasty in collaboration with Quorn came away with gold and highly recommended awards.

The Ginsters vegan-friendly Moroccan vegetable pasty also landed a second consecutive gold win.

Managing director Kieran Hemsworth said: “To be awarded highly commended in these awards is an incredible reflection of the craftmanship and expertise of our chefs.

“We’re passionate about celebrating and protecting the heritage of one of Cornwall’s most-loved exports while creating innovative new recipes such as our Ginsters vegan quorn pasty.”

To complete the achievements, silver gongs were awarded to the Ginsters handcrafted Cornish pasty and the Cornish handcrafted chicken, chorizo and Cornish Gouda pasty.

These were developed in collaboration with Chris Eden, the first chef born and raised in Cornwall to earn a Michelin star.

The British Pie Awards are judged by 110 experts and shine the spotlight on protected regional specialities, while championing British produce and craftmanship.

Kieran added: “To receive five accolades is a real honour – our packaging will display the coveted logos with pride!”

Ginsters’ success in the 2020 British Pie Awards tops last year’s impressive quadruple win, with the pasty maker accumulating a total of eight accolades during 2019.
