2009 WORLD SCOTCH PIE CHAMPIONSHIP

Posted on by Old Website

The 2009 World Scotch Pie
Champion is Paul Boyle of Boghall Butchers in Bathgate. Paul was presented
with the famous trophy at the presentation lunch on Thursday 27th November
at Carnegie College, Dunfermline.

The Bathgate-based butcher (telephone 01506
630178) triumphed for the first time in 2005 and he once again captured
the taste buds of the judges.

Paul, 51, who runs Boghall Butchers in
the Boghall area of the
West Lothian
town, is only the second man to have won the coveted title twice. Thomas
Auld and Sons of Greenock triumphed in 2001 and 2002.


And the businessman has doubled the size
of his busy shop since his first triumph in the prestige competition.Â
He now employs nine staff, including his wife and daughter, selling
a range of cooked and uncooked meats and ready meals. Paul also now sells
a range of cakes.

also has plans to create a new shop front and victory this year was sweet
as his father was there to see him collect the trophy.


Paul, a trained chef, revealed: “When I
last won it only my wife Christine and myself were there. Â My
father William loves to accompany me to the awards lunch and it was
wonderful that he and my mother Mary were there to see my lift the trophy
this time.”


It's the tenth anniversary of the
championship which this year attracted a record entry of 77, including one
from south of the Border.


The title has still to be won by a
butcher or baker from a major city and Paul beat off seven past winners to
take the giant wooden pie trophy back to his recently-extended shop.


Keith
Stuart of Stuart's of Buckhaven,
Fife
, who won the title in 2007 was runner up.
