WHICH shop in Cheshire makes the best pies?

Is there one which stands out above all others and deserves to be recognised at the best pie shop in Cheshire?

In the second instalment of our ‘The Best of 2022’ competition, we are focusing on pies – both sweet and savoury – and what makes particular pie shops the best in St Helens.

We were inundated with nominations for the best hair salon or barbershop in Cheshire and we hope residents can get behind their favourite pies in the same way.

From a pork pie to meat and potato, and an apple pie to a cherry pie, we all have our favourite pie and a place we trust to make them just how we like them.

It doesn’t have to be a pie shop - it could also be an independent seller that makes great pies.

So, let us know who deserves to be featured in our final shortlist and why.

We know there are lots of great choices for your pies across Cheshire so it will be no easy feat to choose a winner.

This is why we’ll be handing over the final decision to those who know best – our readers.

HOW IT WORKS:

·        Each Friday morning we will reveal new categories via our social media pages and ask you who is the best. Nominations close each Monday morning at 12pm.

·        Then each Thursday we will publish a shortlist of finalists with voting officially opening.

·        You will be able to vote in one of three ways:

- By commenting under the relevant post on our Knutsford Guardian, Northwich Guardian, and Winsford and Middlewich Guardian Facebook pages = 1 vote

- By entering via the online article on our Knutsford Guardian, Northwich Guardian, and Winsford and Middlewich Guardian websites = 2 votes

- By entering via our Knutsford Guardian, Northwich Guardian, and Winsford and Middlewich Guardian newspapers = 5 votes

·        The following Wednesday evening we will announce the winner of that category on social media. They will then be entered into the running for our overall Simply The Best award at the end of the competition.

·        Usual Newsquest competition rules apply. For more details go to newsquest.co.uk/terms So get in touch with your go-to pie shop and tell us who is amazing enough to be one of our Best Of 2022 finalists.
