Off to Geldeston on the second pie outing of the month, for a walk up along the river to Beccles and a stop at the church for lunch. No dials on this, nor on the Roman Catholic church we subsequently visited. We returned to Geldeston on the other side of the river meeting a great number of ramblers doing the walk the wrong way round. We crossed the river at Geldeston locks and stopped at the pub to sample the beer from Lowestoft’s Green Jack brewery. A very pleasant stop after six and a half miles - just the ticket to get the pie palette in top condition. A short stagger to the cars in the overflow car park to first sample a Chorizo, potato & sweet pepper Tortilla prior to sampling pies from Heath Farm Foods, previously scoring 7.5 in Thetford on the 10th September 2006 and 8 on the 18th March 2007. A very acceptable pie with little jelly scored an impressive 8.05555 with a reasonably high standard deviation of 0.72648, so Heath Farm retain a normalised 8 rating. We finished off with chunky toffee shortbread bites, also from Heath Farm.

Who ate all the pies ?

A pleasant walk around the wilds of Wymondham worked up an appetite for a medium pork pie from Heath Farm, following a pint of Canary in the Railway Tavern. It was raining, so that probably accounted for the fact that I did not record any details about the pie other than it scored 7.85714 with a standard deviation of 0.69007. So that's a normalised score of 8 for Heath Farm medium pies.

We took a large pork pie from Heath Farm Foods to Thetford Forrest to sample. This had a very smooth meat filling, tasty with good pastry resulting in a very respectable normalised score of 7.5, a good score following two stonking pies from the previous muchings.
