00:00Do you come every day?

00:02Every day. If you're being 7 days a week, I'll be near 7 days a week.

00:05This is Percy Turner's in Jumph, near Barnsley and Rotherham.

00:10The best pork pies in the UK, apparently.

00:14And this local knows all about him because he comes every day.

00:19But he says he keeps to him because he walks to his shop.

00:23Why do you think your pork pies are so popular?

00:26Best quality at the right price.

00:32And when did you start making pork pies yourself?

00:36I came into the business when I was 18. That would have been 1992.

00:44Have you had any celebrity customers or well-known people shop here?

00:50We've had Dickie Bird, Toby Foster.

01:00I think that's about it. There's not many famous people in Barnsley.

01:04How many pork pies have you had in your lifetime?

01:08Maybe 20,000 or maybe more.

01:12And while they won't tell us how many pork pies they sell each week,

01:16they did say it's uggings of them.

01:19So I'm guessing there's a few more customers like him.
