Visitors to Alcester Food Festival this Saturday were some of the first to taste a delicious new sausage created by local butchers Ragley Estate Meats.
Hogan’s’ Happy Pork Sausage is a combination of Ragley Rare Breed Pork, Hogan’s’ Award winning Cider, Apple and Apricot and has already won the Heart of England Speciality Sausage of 2011.
Vanda Cookes from Ragley Estate Meats says, “As both businesses are in Warwickshire and closely linked to Alcester we felt it would be great to have the official launch at the Food Festival. This is certainly one of my favourite sausages our butchers have created and we had some great feedback from visitors to the stand.”
The food festival, which took place on Saturday (21st May) was well attended by visitors who enjoyed sampling a wide range of speciality and local produce.
Lord Hertford, who attended the festival said; “People should be aware of food miles and how far animals have to travel. We are delighted to be able to say that in creating these fabulous new Ragley sausages, the only time our pigs travelled was on their way to the slaughterhouse.”
Ragley Estate Meats are available from Hillers Farm Shop in Dunnigton, near Alcester or online at ragleyestatemeats.com.
