Pastry
At Mud Foods take great pride in crafting the most delicious pies, and it all starts with their handmade buttery shortcrust pastry which is enriched with local free-range eggs. They also make gluten-free pastry to the same high standards, so coeliacs, or those just looking to cut down on gluten, can also enjoy their scrumptious pies.
