Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at The George Hotel is an English porky pie.
Think tender, slow-cooked pork belly and shoulder with a jelly stock in a handmade, buttery, English shortcrust pastry.
The pie comes served with a side of warm, chunky spiced apple chutney.
"Growing up with an English mother and grandmother, they both loved making pies and my grandmother loved making porky pies that you could eat hot or cold," chef Serina Silvey said.
"My grandmother died when I was young and I've learnt as I've grown up how undervalued home baking is and how I love making food to make other people happy."
Vote and win!
For your chance to win a luxury Ballarat weekend escape for two valued at over $3000, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Pie.
The pie with the most votes will be crowned the winner of this new category in early September.
"I have recreated this pie from memory in honour of my very bossy and slightly scary grandmother!"
