British Pie Week Staff Favourites Day 6

Lochie has been with us for around two years now, he started here working in the picking room and still does picking on the busier days, however for the past six months he has been keeping check on the stock, ordering and ringing customers for orders and has become a bit of an all rounder or you could say ‘he has his fingers in all the pies’ !

Lochie is the second member of staff to choose the chicken, leek and bacon pie as his favourite: “as a man who loves meat, this is a winner and the creamy sauce compliments it so well.”
He is also a big fan of the Steak and Ale pie, enjoying the rich flavour of the locally sourced beef and Otter Ale.

Q&A with Lochie

Q: Favourite Pie and why?
A: Chicken and bacon definitely, I’m a man who loves meat and the creamy sauce compliments it so well!

Q: Chips or Mash?
A: Chips all day every day, mash is probably the worst way to have a potato!

Q: If you had to eat only one meal for the rest of your lift that would it be?
A: Beef stew and dumplings, can’t beat it. Good for anytime of the year.

Q: How long have you worked at Isca Foods?
A: Near enough 2 years now.

Q: What is your role at Isca?
A: Mainly calling all our customers for the orders.

Q: Have you always wanted to work in the Food Industry?
A: Absolutely not, never pictured myself here but I do love it really! I was working as a bartender before this, so feel free to ask me about any alcohol on the phone – which we have now started selling by the way – little bit of a plug!

Q: What do you look forward to doing most when lockdown restrictions have eased completely?
A: Probably most excited to be playing football again.
