Local banger praised in national awards

PEASMARSH supermarket Jempsons is celebrating after a traditionally made banger they produced gained gold in the National Sausage Week Awards.

The family owned independent store submitted its sausages to the awards, which aim to identidy Britain’s best bangers.

The recipe they used was devised by the current owners’ Grandfather.

British Sausage Week takes place between the 5th – 11th November, and has been highlighting the quality and variety of one of Britain’s favourite dishes since 1997.

Dave Masters, head of Butchery at Jempsons, said: “We entered our Traditional GTJ Sausage after finding the original recipe used by our founder amongst some of the Jempson family archives.

“We are honoured that this has been rated highly amongst the judges to win a gold award in this UK-wide competition.”

He continued: “We produce a dozen different types of sausage and the quality of the produce we use has always been the most important thing for us.
