Carol Smillie presents pie to Royal Mail staff as part of ‘Warm and Tasty’ campaign
George Haddow was pleasantly surprised when he was presented with a warm and tasty beef pie as a little thank you for 29 years’ loyal service with The Royal Mail.
The ‘Warm and Tasty’ pie campaign – a collaboration between industry bodies Quality Meat Scotland, Scottish Bakers and the Scottish Federation of Meat Traders Association – returns this year after its success in 2014. Butchers and bakers up and down the country will be encouraging consumers to beat the chill and the January blues with a piping hot pie.
Douglas Scott, chief executive of the Scottish Federation of Meat Traders Association said: “Pies and pastry goods are becoming an increasingly important part of a butchers business and are proving extremely popular with consumers.
“The benefit in using craft butchers and craft bakers is that they source the finest quality meats, making their products with the same meat that you can buy minced, sliced or in roasts.”
