National Pie Day seeks to celebrate all things pie, a tribute to the popular dish that has remained a foodie favourite over the years.
Pies have a long history in British culinary tradition, dating back to the 12th century.
Notable variants such as Cornish pasty, steak and kidney pie, and the pork pies of Melton Mowbray are all part of British cuisine.
But did you know Nottinghamshire has its own signature filling?
The regional fill consists of succulent steak and rich Stilton cheese, topped with a layer of golden-brown potato.
