The Merthyr-born designer has often stated that some of the things he misses most about Wales are his savoury favourites – Peter’s Pies of course – and particularly when suffering with a hangover!

During his hugely successful career, Julien worked for iconic labels including Chanel and Lagerfield before setting up his own label, leading to the award for British Fashion Designer of the Year in 2001 and his appointment as successor to Alexander McQueen as Creative Director of renowned French Fashion house, Givenchy.

In 2006, Julien was awarded the OBE for services to the fashion industry but he’s clearly never forgotten his roots – or his love of a good pie!

Counting Gwyneth Paltrow, Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue as fans of his hugely successful label, our favourite designer clearly has good taste!

Chief Pieologist David Jackson is responsible for developing new products and flavours in the firm’s top-secret kitchens.

This spring will see three hot new Peter’s products appear on shelves across the UK, some with a spicy twist on traditional flavours – all cooked up by Jackson and his team of experts.

The top pieologist’s proficiency and terrific tastebuds have made him such hot property for Peter’s bosses; they have recently been quoted a five-figure sum to insure the culinary whiz’s tongue.

A trained chef and qualified food scientist, Mr Jackson spends months looking into food trends, consumer tastes and innovations for Peter’s.

His painstaking research has culminated in three unique new Peter’s products hitting supermarket shelves this month – The Firecracker Cheese Slice, a X Large Spicy Pork Roll and a Chicken and Bacon Slice.

Speaking about his role in spicing up the Peter’s product profile, Mr Jackson said: “We’ve responded to our research findings and to customer demand for flavours with an international kick, served up with a hearty slice of traditional British patriotism in this Jubilee and Olympic year.

“These three products are the result of months of tasting, tweaking and testing, Mr Jackson added. “I feel really lucky to have a job where I can indulge my passion for food.”

The Cardiff Dogs Home Spring Show and Fayre took place at St Albans RFC in Tremorfa, Cardiff.

Organised by Friends of Cardiff Dog’s Home to raise money for a kennel refurbishment, the event saw supporters enjoying a range of stalls and games, including a special display by Celtic K9 Security.

The Friends of Cardiff Dogs Home organisation was set up in order to better the lives and standard of living of the dogs that reside at the home. Friends help to re-home the dogs, arrange for volunteers to walk them, promote responsible dog ownership and highlight the work done by the Dogs Home itself. The ultimate aim is to make the time spent in the kennels as bearable and comfortable as possible for each and every dog.

Peter’s supplied a range of more than 200 products for sale at the event, as well as supplying sausages for the star event – a sausage catching competition for dogs at the home.

Overall the event raised an impressive total of over £1400. Kirsty Matthews, Committee Member for Friends of Cardiff Dogs Home said:

“We had a fabulous day with a fantastic turn out and we were delighted to raise such an amazing sum.

“The Peter’s sausage rolls and pasties were definitely a big hit – we completely sold out – and the sausage catching competition was the highlight of the day. We’d like to thank everyone involved for their kind support.”

Speaking about the event, Peter’s Marketing Controller Clare Morgan said: “We were really pleased to support this fantastic and fun event and wish the Friends of Cardiff Dogs Home the best of luck with their future fundraising.”

A giant food mosaic of the Welsh Six Nations Grand Slam superstar has been presented to his old primary school, Ysgol Y Wern by Caerphilly-based pie-maker Peter’s. The 1.2 metre tall pastry tribute was commissioned by Peter’s as a celebration of Welsh rugby and created by full time ‘food artist’ Prudence Staite. It uses a variety of Peter’s savoury snacks as well as peppercorns for Jamie’s famous designer stubble, and red chilli flakes and peppers for his Wales jersey. The mosaic weighs almost 35kg and took a team of five 50 hours to make from start to finish.

Peter’s Marketing Controller Clare Morgan presented the piece of food art to Ysgol Y Wern’s headteacher, Mrs Moira Kellaway, and pupils – all of whom have had rugby trials for Cardiff schools and hope to follow in Jamie’s footsteps – Craig Miller, Rhys Mackenzie, Casey Davies, Aled Evans and Daniel Thomas.

The school will now proudly display the extraordinary mosaic of their protégé former student as the ultimate reminder of Wales’ Six Nations Grand Slam success.

Clare Morgan said: “We supported Jamie the whole way through the Six Nations campaign and thought that creating this unique rugby memento would be a fun way to remember his, and the team’s, success.

“The likeness of the mosaic is truly astounding, and we are delighted to have been able to take Jamie back to where his rugby career began.”

Mrs Kellaway said: “As a school we can celebrate not only Jamie’s sporting excellence but also his academic achievements and aspirations. The mosaic was proudly displayed in the school’s dining room in the run up to Wales’ decider match against France and throughout the post-celebrations.”

Speaking from the Wales training camp about having a food portrait displayed in his former school, Jamie Roberts said: “I’m flattered, I’ve never had a portrait of me made out of food before; this is certainly a first. When I showed it to some of the other Welsh players it brought a few smiles and, as you can imagine, a few jokes that’s for sure. This was a really cool idea and it looks like a lot of time and effort went into making it – and I must admit, it looks just like me!”

Starting at the famous Tommy Cooper statue in Caerphilly, a team of more than 40 walkers trekked over Caerphilly Mountain in to Cardiff City Centre, to raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre.

The walk was organised by Caerphilly resident Clive Pike, whose wife, Rowena, is undergoing treatment for breast cancer at Velindre Hospital.

The event raised £5,574.58 for the charity, which helps fund the largest non-surgical cancer hospital in Wales, providing radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other specialised anti-cancer treatments for over half the people diagnosed with cancer in Wales.

Speaking about his idea for a sponsored walk, Clive said “I was sat in reception at Velindre Hospital one day and thought about what I could give back to the hospital, because the team are amazing.”

Clive, 40, who is a full-time carer for Rowena, posted a message on his facebook page asking for people to take part in a sponsored walk, and received an incredible response from friends and family.

Everyone completed the walk, which took three and a half hours from start to finish.

Speaking about Peter’s backing for the event, Marketing Controller Clare Morgan said: “We were delighted to support the walkers at such a worthwhile fundraising event. We would like to congratulate everyone who took part and wish Clive and Rowena all the best.”

Launched at the Food & Drink Expo 2012 in Birmingham’s NEC, the new brochure unveils a comprehensive collection including frozen and chilled, savoury and dessert dishes, as well as accompaniments.

The brochure also includes Peter’s new range of spicy dishes, designed to capture the very best in British curry culture.

Billed as the ‘ultimate spicy sensation’, Peter’s has managed to recreate the national curry experience with a range of 320gm Chip Shop Chicken Curry, Beef Madras, Chicken Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala dishes – accompanied by authentic Indian style samosas.

John McAughtrie, Sales Manager for Peter’s, said:

“Every year, we carefully look at the latest trends, listen to what our customers want, and then really make an effort to exceed their expectations.”

“Our aim is to ensure that we cater to the full foodservice spectrum from pubs, fast food outlets and hotels, to schools, hospitals and well known national chains. This year’s range is one of the best selections yet, which is why the brand new brochure was so important.”

Peter’s Food Service began life as a small pie manufacturer, and today is one of Britain’s best-loved brands of pies, pasties, rolls and slices, producing over 3 million pastries every week.

Peter’s has more than 50 years’ experience in supplying pubs, sports stadia, fast food outlets, fish bars, restaurants, cafes, independent retailers, schools, hospitals and hotels with over 900 separate food product lines.

Held at the Towers Hotel in Swansea, guests were treated to a three course meal followed by entertainment, featuring appearances from very special guest male models, including Wales and Ospreys players.
Peter’s supported the event with a donation of exclusive limited edition slogan t-shirts, which went down a storm with Adam himself.

The Ospreys, Wales and British Lions star was as integral part of Wales’ recent Grand Slam victory in the 6Nations tournament, and also lays claim to the rare achievement of being two of only six Welsh players since World War Two to have played in three Grand Slam campaigns.

The recent fashion show is part of a series of events for Adam Jones’ testimonial year, and will be followed by a Race Day at Fos Las Race Course on May 9th.

Speaking about the testimonial year, Marketing Controller Clare Morgan said: “Here at Peter’s we are delighted to be able to join Adam at this event to celebrate his testimonial year and of course help raise money for the nominated charity Saint David’s Hospice Care.”

Billed as the ‘ultimate spicy sensation’, Peter’s has managed to recreate the national curry experience with a range of 320gm Chip Shop Chicken Curry, Beef Madras, Chicken Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala dishes.

James Osgood, commercial director for Peter’s, said:

“We love a curry in the UK and I’m sure we’ve reflected that in this new range. We all have our own preferences but with a wide range of flavours made from high quality ingredients, I think we’re providing a dish to suit every taste and any occasion. Whether people want a pub snack or are attending a sports event we have something to keep them happy and well fed!”

He continues:

“We have a ‘frozen freshness’ product with mass appeal, that has a long shelf life, is easy to store, and can be microwaved in just four minutes to taste incredible.

“It’s ideal for pubs, chip shops and takeaways. Better still, it’s available in single portions or in cases at market leading prices, with no minimum order, and cash on delivery.

“Although the product has just been launched, the uptake has been remarkable and it’s proving a great complement to our “Pies for Pubs” offer.”

It all began when Manchester City’s award winning celebrity chef, John Benson-Smith, was approached by Welsh food giant, Peter’s Foods, to unearth the mystery of the perfect sausage.

The former Northern Chef of the Year recently performed a taste trial of the UK’s 16 leading sausages at the Etihad Stadium’s Legends’ Lounge – now he plans to create his own savoury masterpiece.

Neil Court-Johnston, Managing Director of Peter’s Pies, explains:

“Wherever you are, the issue of what makes a good sausage generates a lively debate. We’ve worked with John in the past and if anyone can produce something that will turn heads and taste incredible, it’s him.

“He has a great reputation and I am genuinely excited to see what he comes up with – not least because we’ll make sure it ends up on people’s plates.”

Peter’s Food Service began life as a small pie manufacturer in South Wales. Today it’s one of Britain’s best-loved brands of pies, pasties and sausage rolls, producing over 3 million pastries every week.
