Bonfire Night Bangers At Bradford Farm Shop

03 November 2011, 14:58 PM
  • A farm shop in Thornton, Bradford, is celebrating British Sausage Week by unveiling a brand-new five-strong stable of pork sausages including innovative flavours such as the Bradford Balti

The owners of Keelham Farm Shop have introduced a new range of sausages containing highly unconventional ingredients – the most unusual among them is mushy peas.

The Yorkshire farm shop situated in Bradford – the 2011 Curry Capital of Great Britain – is keen to celebrate British Sausage Week and Bonfire Night with its special newcomers

There is also a new anti-oxidant’ variety containing beetroot and pomegranate for health-conscious sausage lovers, honey and ginger sausage – the honey comes from Denholme Gate Apiary, right on the doorstep – and Henderson’s sausage, using Henderson’s Relish, the spicy Yorkshire sauce from Sheffield, with added garlic for extra bite.

Customers at the award-winning Brighouse & Denholme Road shop are being tempted with day-long free samplings of all five sausages until Saturday (Nov 5).

Keelham Farm Shop’s James Robertshaw explained: “We are renowned for the taste of our products and are always looking to push taste boundaries even further - watch out Heston Blumenthal!

“That’s why we’re doing something different for British Sausage Week. We are trying the prove that the Great British banger need never be boring, as well as creating a fun, hands-on experience for customers. We want as many of them as possible to become involved by tasting our new range of sausages with their unique flavours.”

Connoisseurs will then be asked to vote for their favourite, with the most popular forming Keelham’s entry in the speciality sausage class at the 2011 Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage & Products Competition at Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford, on Sunday, November 20.

“It will be down to the sausage-loving public to determine our entry in the UK’s biggest and best-known regional meat trades competition. If judges agree with our customers, what a coup that would be!” said James.
