We have been toasting our award-winning bangers after four of our sausages took gold awards at the Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie competition. Four of our butchers each put forward their own secret recipe for the tastiest bangers in the south in the competition run by Hampshire Fare – and they all won gold awards for their entries.
The butchers worked on their secret recipes over a few weeks before finally submitting their best bangers to the judges at Hampshire Fare.
The winning flavours were Pork and Porter, Chilli Cheese and Pork, Honey and Mustard Pork, and Farmhouse Pork.
Farm shop owner Graham Collett said: ‘We know we have a great butchery team at Westlands, but this shows that they are also dab hands at creating really tasty sausages too.
‘The pandemic has meant there have not been as many competitions where our butchers can show off their skills and abilities so it is great to see these sorts of food awards coming back.
‘I am really proud of the whole of the butchery team for this – they submitted four sausages, one each, and they all won gold. You can’t get better than that.
‘We are so delighted with the wins that we will be cooking up each of the award winning sausages and offering tasters to all of our shoppers.”
