Read all about it!

A taster....

We believe we are the first UK sausage ever to be on sale in Japan, and also that we are the only European Meat Company approved for import of meat products into Japan. This is a considerable achievement. The radiation levels in local Japanese meat post the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster has provided a clear opportunity for those parts of the UK clear of radiation still present after Chernobyl. Our pork is West Country sourced and routine testing has shown it be free of Caesium 137.

As part of our recent machinery upgrade, we can now offer a full range of well presented chubs of speciality sausage meats, stuffings and puddings  in time for the Christmas seasonal trade. Shown is our 400g chub in Shelf Ready Packaging.

The dry and sunny spell ithat we have enjoyed in April has given a great boost to sales with an all time record week during the month. Sales have come from an excellent Tesco promotion on "Family Packs" with 7.5 times volume uplift,. a deep cut promotion in Makro and very bouyant Export Sales .

The show season has started with a record one day sales at the North Somerset show on the May Bank Holiday, We are now looking forward to Devon County Show, Sherborne , and Bath and West Show in the coming four weeks.
