Product nominations for this year’s UK Sausage Week competition are exceeding expectations and, to allow a little more time to cope with the volume of product entries, organisers have confirmed a few days deadline extension to Friday 2nd August as the last day when sausages can be nominated.
All entries are free of charge and there are eight categories, plus the additional Supreme Sausage Champion Award. To enter click here.
Organiser Libby Goodwin commented: “We have had another outstanding response this year and we have also had a number of requests for a bit more time, hence the decision. We are all really looking forward to the judging process.”
UK Sausage Week (UKSW) returns over the 28th October – 3rd November period, its first staging since just prior to the Covid pandemic, and as usual butchers, supermarkets, foodservice and manufacturers across the UK are participating.
A celebration lunch in London on 28th October 2024 at Butchers Hall will kick the week off, when the UK Supreme Sausage Champion will be revealed, alongside a host of category winners.
Joanna Thomson, editor of Meat Management magazine, who organise UKSW, added: “The message is you must enter now to participate in the competition, or no later than 2nd August.
“Winners of the UKSW Competition often report significant increases in sausage sales and companies and retailers who get involved can maximise on the profile UKSW creates, but you have to be in it to win it.”

- Best Pork Sausage
- Best Beef Sausage
