Two residents of Bude will be putting pies to the test in a national Pukka taste challenge.

Paul Langford and Sarah Clarke-Feltham have become two of just 100 proud 'Pukka Supper Pie-oneers' from across the UK to be selected for the exclusive taste test hosted by the UK's number one pie brand.

The challenge follows a survey commissioned by Pukka Pies that revealed that Brits are 60% of us are not eating a traditional meat and two veg evening meal anymore, and instead are swapping proper dinners for quick-fix snacks such as crisps, sandwiches, cereals and instant soup.

Paul and Sarah have been provided with a month's supply of vouchers for the company's pies to see how they enjoy their dinner times with Pukka.

They have been asked to share their favourite dishes to inspire people to create their own good honest dinnertime 'pie-fection' via the Pukka Pies Facebook page.

Paul said: "When I saw this opportunity, I thought it would be great to enter and I'm delighted to be chosen to take part."
