Two Kenilworth butchers prepare for sizzle-off in sausage awards

Farmers Fayre and Steve Crowe and Son Butchers in Kenilworth know their sausages.

So much so the two businesses have been shortlisted in the West Midlands Tastiest Sausage Competition.

The two businesses will take part in a Warwickshire Sizzle Off for the competition next week in Stratford.

Farmers Fayre has been shortlisted for its breakfast sausage, a free range traditional pork sausage, and its speciality sausage, known as the Hatton Sausage.

Steve Crowe and Son has been shortlisted for its breakfast sausage, a thick plain pork sausage, and its speciality sausage, a thick pork, spring onion, coriander and ginger sausage.

The competition was devised in 2001 to coincide with Farmhouse Breakfast Week, a promotion run by the Home Grown Cereals’ Authority to highlight the variety and taste of breakfast products. Farmhouse Breakfast Week runs from January 25 to January 31.

In a series of county sizzle offs, butchers and producers will be battling it out for the breakfast sausage and speciality sausage awards.

The sizzle-off takes place on Wednesday, January 21 from 10am to 12.30pm at the AGA Shop, Meer Street, Stratford.
