Bewitching pies go down a treat


WITCHES galore gathered at a Sabden dell to mark the 400th anniversary of the Feast of Malkin Tower. p a f f at Sanwitches hosted the spellbinding


celebration of the infamous Pendle Witches’ feast which took place on Good Friday in April


Dozens of villagers dressed as witches and warlocks descended on the Whalley Road Deli


to sample a slice of the shop’s bewitching new recipe.


• Owners Keith and Christine Turner dreamed


up the Malkin Pie after delving into folklore to find the exact ingredients eaten by the witches during their final feast four centuries ago. The pie, which is packed with beef. Iamb, ba-


cqn, pulses, herbs and spices, and topped off vrith a Wicca dumpling lid, proved a massive hit with customers.


Keith said: “We wanted to do something


special to mark the 400th anniversaiy of the Feast of Malkin Tower. We invited regular customers and people from the village for a celebration to taste a piece of the pie. “It was an absolutely great day. We had


lots of people coming down dressed in witch costumes.


“Everyone loved our Malkin Pie - we even ran out of samples on the day. People have . been coming from as far as Accrington and


Blackburn to try the pie. It has really taken off.” A witch quiz is on-going at the deli ahead


of the 400th anniversary of the Pendle Witch trials this August.
