Denby Dale Pies

Their products are sold in branches of Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, Co-op Food, Asda, Morrisons and Booths.

[1] The village of Denby Dale has a tradition baking giant pies to celebrate events and occasions of national importance.

The first of these is thought to have been in 1788 to mark the return to sanity of King George III and the tenth, a Millennium Pie baked in 2000, measured 40 feet (12 m) and weighed 12 tons.

It went into administration in 2011 and was sold to Chapel Foods Ltd.[1][6] In 2012, Yorkshire laureate Ian McMillan wrote and performed a "Piem" about Denby Dale pies.

[citation needed] In July 2013, Princess Anne visited the company's flagship factory in Denby Dale.
