The 2026 UK Sausage Week Supreme Sausage Champion returned to Butchers’ Hall to share its winning Tennessee BBQ Pork Sausages with guests at the November Court Lunch.
This year’s winning UK Sausage Week (UKSW) entry came from The British Premium Sausage Company, and owners Ian Cundell and Andy Dalton were delighted to supply the canapés for the November Court Lunch at Butchers’ Hall in London so guests could enjoy a taste of the 2026 UK Supreme Sausage Champion winner.
UK Sausage Week ran from 26th October to 1st November this year, with the winners of the UKSW competition announced at a gala luncheon and awards ceremony in Butchers’ Hall to launch the week. After triumphing in the Speciality Sausage category, the Tennessee BBQ Pork Sausage from the Premium Sausage Company went on to be crowned as UK Supreme Sausage Champion.
Judges commented on the texture and bold flavours in the American-inspired sausages and praised their innovation, commenting: “A really excellent sausage. Well made with great taste, texture and appearance, with minimum shrinkage when cooked. A really tasty sausage!”
Peter Allen, 2026/27 Master of the Worshipful Company of Butchers was at the UKSW ceremony to announce the finalists in each category and to present the winners with their awards. He was able to taste the UK’s best bangers for himself at the November Court Lunch.
At the event, Ian Cundell, managing director of The Premium British Sausage Company, said: “It is a real privilege to have our UK Supreme Champion Sausage, the Tennessee BBQ Sausage, selected to be served as a canapé at the WCB Court Lunch.
“Being chosen to supply our award-winning sausage for such a prestigious event is fantastic recognition of both the quality of British pork and the dedication, passion, and expertise of our team in producing exceptional products.
“We are incredibly proud to showcase our award-winning sausage on such a distinguished occasion and to play a part in celebrating the very best of British food.”
