Michael Kirk is a small family firm of butchers in Wolverhampton, England,[1] established in 1934, which has won several prizes for their pies,[2] including National Pork Pie Champion, 2005, and for their sausages.[2][3][4][5][6]

Owner Michael Bachyk says of his pork pies:

I base my recipe on the traditional Melton Mowbray-style pie, which doesn't use cured meat like most Yorkshire pies... You wouldn't roast pork and expect it to come out pink, and mine looks much more like roast pork, a greyish colour. But it's all down to personal taste. That's just how we like them here.[7]
