Great British Sausage Week has begun, so if you are on the hunt for the best sausages look no further! Below we have outlined some of the best sausage activities, dishes, books and stalls for you!  After all… who doesn’t love a Great British banger?

On Saturday 8th November, Sausage Week is arriving at Brook Green Wild Food Market with a range of exciting activities which everyone, both young and old, can get involved in. Dedicated to giving customers both a foodie education and experience, Wild Food Market broadens your culinary knowledge with their weekly programme of regular masterclasses.

This weeks’ session will focus on sausage making, showing you how easy it is to make your own sausages. The team will be taking sausage making one step further, demonstrating how vegetables, offal and even fruit can be used as fillings, with delicious results! Join the team as they scour the market for ingredients, from mushrooms and apples all the way through to bread, cheese and aubergine. 

Also at the market:

Picks Organic Farm will be serving a special edition’Brook Green Sausage’, made especially for our market. Take a pack home or if you’re feeling peckish, try one of their sizzling sausages in bun. Tempting, hot, delicious!

Street food stalwarts, Wild Dogs specialise in serving natural, free-range hot dogs, made entirely from British Produce. If the sound of their classic’Wild Dog’, a wild breed pork sausage, slow cooked caramelised onions topped with a range of sauces takes your fancy, then we strongly suggest you give it a try!  

  • London’s Great British Café – Polo 24 Hour Bar has created a special sausage menu in honour of the (not so humble) English banger and they have even had a limited edition sausage created for them specially – The Londoner, which is a pork sausage seasoned with sage and a secret blend of herbs from award winning butchers The Franconian Sausage Company. Diners choose their sausage from a choice of either a Traditional Cumberland or the Londoner and then can have it in a sandwich, as bangers and mash or in toad in the hole! Available 24 hours a day all week!www.polo24hourbar.co.uk
  • At Trade it’s all about their Sausage Cholla Rolls which are served up every morning. These are seriously popular and even more delicious… I would confidently nominate this as the best sausage sandwich in London! Trade is a café on Commercial Street focused on delivering an outstanding food offering along with their specialty teas and coffees, homemade cakes, trademark deli sandwiches (not to be overlooked!) and fresh, seasonal salads. http://www.trade-made.co.uk/
