UK Supreme Sausage Champion
The 2025 UK Supreme Sausage Champion will be selected from various category winners. In 2024 Porky Whites was crowned the Champion for its Signature Surrey Sausage.
Speaking on the win, Porky Whites managing director Fran Wyatt said: “To win UK Sausage Week’s Supreme Sausage Champion for our Signature Surrey Sausage is incredible.
“This award – as well as winning the Best Pork Sausage title – tops off an amazing year for the business, which has seen us continue to grow and bring exciting new products to customers.”
Past winners of the UKSW competition have reported substantial interest and increased business for their products after the competition results are announced, and retailers who get involved can maximise on the profile UK Sausage Week creates, which normally attracts national and local media coverage, plus significant customer interest.
Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Meat Management, which organises the annual UK Sausage Week, commented: “We’re expecting hundreds of nominations this year, after a very successful 2024 competition. With the deadline fast approaching, do ensure your products are entered if you would like to be a part of this year’s initiative!”
Sausage products can be nominated free of charge here.
