THE best of British beef came together at Clayton Park Bakery as strongman Mark Felix helped the firm celebrate national pie week.

The world record holder former British champ flexed his muscles to pull two three-and-a-half tonne vans full of pies across the company’s Clayton-le-Moors car park.

Mark, who tips the scales at about 23 stones, consumes some 8,000 calories a day in training to maintain his strength and fighting weight and was happy to support national pie week with the help of Clayton Park.

He said: “When I’m in full training I burn a lot of calories and I do like a proper meat pie.

“Meat pies are a British institution and it’s nice to be helping promote a local company which makes some of the best in the country.”

Clayton Park Bakery managing director, Barry Thomas, said: “Helping fuel one of the strongest men in the world – who lives just a couple of miles from our two bakeries – with some of our steak pies seemed the perfect match.”
