In celebrating the bicentenary of the Bramley apple, the fruit made a hot appearance in apple pie at the Bath and West Show.

Over the four days of the show, the Bramley team, headed by Nikki Page, served more than 3,000 portions of pie.

There were many complimentary comments about the samples from the public, including one consumer who said: “Superb strong tangy taste, firm moist texture of the Bramley in the samples, outstanding taste and texture of the pastry.”

There was a considerable amount of interest from the public in the history of Bramley, resulting from the coverage of the 200th anniversary of the Bramley, including requests for recipes that can be found on the Bramley website.
