A pie shop in Barrow singled out by the Hairy Bikers has a chance of winning a new award.

Last month The Mail launched the 'Best Bakery 2024' awards in the effort of building upon the recent success of similar campaigns promoting local businesses.

This saw Mail readers nominate their favourite places for a sweet treat or a savoury snack.

From these nominations, we revealed the 10 finalists last week, all of whom will be vying for your vote over the next two weeks.

You can vote for your favourite until Saturday, September 14 by picking up a copy of The Mail.

The Mail's 'Best Bakery 2024' awards series so far:

We have already started a special series of features on each finalist across the coming fortnight, with our gastronomic exploration of Furness taking us back to Barrow.

There, Green's Pies on Jarrow Street have earned national acclaim over the years, thanks in part to the support of one half of the Hairy Bikers, Dave Myers.

The Barrow-born chef and TV personality was a great proponent of the bakery - so much so that the Wool Baa recreated the pies in crocheted form to raise money after Dave's death.

A few years ago, Green's was also featured in 'The Great Pie Revolt: A Gastronomic Guide to the Premier League and EFL' by author Jack Peat.

This named it as one of the best places to go in the UK for a bite to eat before a football match, celebrating the bakery's close connection to Barrow AFC.

For over half a century, the business has had continued and unwavering support from the community, with one person saying: "You have to eat a pie from here to truly appreciate their excellent taste and texture.

"It's a pie haven for sure and they have stayed loyal to the recipe for well over 50 years."

If you think that Green's deserves to be named as the best bakery in Furness, then make sure to pick up a copy of The Mail by September 14.
