Chunk of Devon is celebrating after collecting an impressive 15 awards at this year’s Food Drink Devon Awards, including eight for its gluten full range and seven for its gluten free bakes.
The standout win of the evening went to the Butter Chicken Pasty, which took home both Platinum and the coveted title of Product of the Year. Six further products from Chunk’s traditional range earned gold and silver awards, while the company’s gluten free creations were also recognised across both savoury and sweet categories.
“We’re absolutely thrilled,” said Chunk founder Simon Bryon-Edmond. “It’s fantastic to see our gluten free range receiving the same recognition as our traditional favourites. Maintaining consistency and quality requires passion and a touch of obsession, and this year’s results really show how dedicated our team is.”
Chunk’s success reflects how British tastes continue to evolve. The Steak Pasty remains a national favourite, yet the Butter Chicken Pasty’s top accolade shows how adventurous flavours can now stand alongside the classics. The company continues to celebrate traditional British baking while innovating with bold, globally inspired recipes.
“We’ll always love our classics, but it’s exciting to see new flavours take centre stage,” added Simon. “The Butter Chicken Pasty win shows that consumers are open to fresh ideas and creative twists. We’re always exploring ways to innovate, while keeping that authentic, handmade feel that defines Chunk.”
