As part of ongoing 2024 UK Sausage Week celebrations, this year’s UK Supreme Sausage Champion was served during a drinks reception as canapés today [1st November] at Butchers’ Hall, prior to a very special Worshipful Company of Butchers Court Lunch.
The exclusive Court Lunch is normally held on the first Friday of each month and follows the monthly Court Meeting. A guest speaker is amongst the guests which on this occasion featured Alderman & Sheriff Gregory Jones KC. The monthly event also provides Liverymen of the WCB with an opportunity to invite personal guests to the Butchers’ Hall.
Porky Whites supplied miniature versions of its Signature Surrey Sausage for the canapés, having been named UK Supreme Sausage Champion at the recent UK Sausage Week (UKSW) celebration lunch on Monday 28th October, which marked the start of UKSW.
The ‘Surrey’ is the pride and joy of family business Porky Whites, and where it all started for the national retail business operation. Fran Wyatt the MD of Porky Whites, who is also a Liveryman with the WCB said: “Winning this fantastic award has been over 20 years in the making and to feature our Signature Surrey Sausage here at Butchers’ Hall today is simply amazing.
“I want to thank everyone at UK Sausage Week, the awards team and the judging panel for this award as it means an awful lot to everyone at Porky Whites, and also my thanks to the WCB for participating in UKSW and highlighting our winning sausage.”
The Master of The Worshipful Company of Butchers, John Allton Jones, added: “It’s been a very enjoyable week. Having attended the UK Sausage Week Awards lunch here at our hall on Monday and now tasting the delicious UK Supreme Champion Sausage made by the winning company during the drinks reception has all been great fun. I’d call the whole week a sizzling success!”
UK Sausage Week continues through until 3rd November, with further events and celebrations expected to take place over the coming weekend and considerable coverage anticipated through national and local media.
