Andy was born in London just in time to see England win the World Cup, and much later began his career in academia, gaining a PhD in American Literature and lecturing at several universities, including Maryland and Gothenburg in Sweden, and pursuing a sideline in sheep-farming before moving back to London and becoming a literary agent and TV documentary-maker (working for various broadcasters and making series such as the BBC’s Monsoon Railway, set in Bengal). He has written several biographies, including the Second World War story American Pimpernel, and became the official biographer of India’s Prime Minister (then Chief Minister of Gujarat) publishing Narendra Modi, a Political Biography (Harper Collins). Andy joined Asian Media Group in 2018, his first “proper” job, and has been there ever since, believing that, while trade journalism might not save the world, it might just save journalism.

Pork pie brand Pork Farms is celebrating the upcoming Coronation Weekend by launching a Special Edition Coronation Pork Pie.

To coincide with this landmark event, the packaging for Pork Farms’ award-winning original pork pie has been given the royal treatment. Available from April 9 – end of May, the Coronation Pork Pie features exclusive new patriotic packaging with an unmissable and eye-catching Union Jack design, created to give maximum shelf standout.

The pie is encased in traditional hot water crust pastry and contains a delicious combination of pork and seasoned flavourful jelly. The long-standing recipe is testament to Pork Farms’ commitment to quality, as it is made using 100 per cent British pork and contains no nitrates or artificial ingredients.

The British favourite will easily be the crown jewel in any Coronation Weekend meal, and is perfect for afternoon teas, picnics, and ploughman’s boards.

“Established in 1931, we’re a brand that’s extremely proud of its British heritage and relies solely on British pork, so celebrating the coronation with the release of this limited-edition pork pie was the natural choice,” said Jason Manley, Brand Director at Pork Farms, which is part of The Compleat Food Group.

“As the nation’s best-selling pork pie brand, Pork Farms has seen a growth of 6.4% in the same period as last year, as well as an increase of 28 per cent in the last 12 months, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the humble pie. So, whether consumers are hosting a street party or watching the coronation unfold from the comfort of their own homes, they can depend on Pork Farms to deliver a taste that is fit for a king.”

The Special Edition Coronation Original Pork Pie will be available from April 9, 295g, RRP £2.20
