IT’S time to reveal the shortlist in our search for Wirral’s best pies.

After launching our new Best of 2022 competition in the Wirral Globe at the end of last month, we wanted to know where to buy the best pies – sweet or savoury.

In our first Best of 2022 category we were looking at the best hair salons, barbers and stylists in Wirral with Dreams Hair Colour Experts in Bromborough coming out on top.

This week, pies were the focus and after receiving dozens of nominations over the weekend we have shortlisted a top five, who will battle it out to be named the best in Wirral.

But now we need your help to choose an overall Best for Pies winner from our shortlist.

There are three ways to vote:

1. Search for the Best Of post on our Wirral Globe Facebook or Instagram pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote

2. Name your favourite in the comments section on this article via our website = 2 votes

3. Purchase a copy of this week’s Wirral Globe (May 11 edition) and fill in the entry form = 5 votes

(*NB For newspaper entries, email a screenshot of the completed entry form to heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk – please note that only original copies will be accepted. More than one entry can be submitted per person but you will be asked to provide your own unique reference code for each entry to avoid duplication eg if your name is Smith you may wish to write Smith123 or HS21! as your code. You will need to provide a different code for each entry submitted. For full terms and conditions go to Newsquest.co.uk/terms)

Voting officially opens today, Thursday, and closes at midnight on Monday and we will be announcing the winner next week.

Keep an eye out for our next Best Of appeal on our social media pages on Friday, when we will be asking readers who is the best for nails – salon or mobile – in Wirral.
