February 22, 2019

GREAT HAMPSHIRE SAUSAGE AND PIE CHAMPIONS 2019 REVEALED

This year’s competition attracted an impressive 205 entries in 12 categories which were judged by a panel of experts from across the UK. The categories included Traditional Pork Sausage, Hampshire Sausage, Black Pudding, Hot Pie, Charcuterie, Meatballs and Faggots, Speciality Sausage, Home-cured Bacon, Cold Pie, Young Sausage Maker and Traditional Pork Pie.

Judging took place earlier in February at Eastleigh College with the assistance of staff and students from the college’s hospitality and catering department. Tracy Nash, Commercial Manager of Hampshire Fare commented: “This competition is key in highlighting the talent and dedication of the hardworking butchers and producers in Hampshire. It is an opportunity for us to put local butchers centre stage and appreciate their skill and knowledge. I urge everyone to make it their mission to visit at least one of these award-winning butchers and try some of the excellent products celebrated here tonight.”

Before the winners were announced, guests tucked into sausages and mash to fit with the theme of the evening! The winners of each category were invited to the stage by Peter Taylor from Paris Smith LLP to receive their trophy from the competition sponsors – Dalziel, Lucas Ingredients, Eastleigh College, Mozzo, Santa Maria and Ringwood Brewery.

Supreme Champion 2019
Mum and Dad’s Kitchen for their Egg, Bacon and Chorizo gluten free pie.  

Owned by husband and wife team, Jane and Dave Endean, they began by baking cakes before creating their award-winning gluten free pastry which one of the judges described as possibly the best pastry they had ever tasted.

Dave Endean commented on their success: “We are so surprised by the win! It is just brilliant! We are really proud that our gluten free pastry has ranked so highly against standard pastry, it proves that opting for gluten free doesn’t have to be a compromise.”
