Well, they say she likes a bit of sausage!
The hunt began at Blackfriars Restaurant in Newcastle as Carol Thatcher launched the Supreme Sausage Sarnie competition. Not someone to mince her thoughts or words Carol says: “I have no doubt that each person believed theirs was the best and I’ve tasted some spectacular recipes. The Newcastle regional ‘cook off’ whittled down a fabulous set of entrants to produce Britain’s best banger buttie and they were absolutely delicious.” Simon Brown, Blackfriars head chef also complimented the standard of entrants, saying “I’ve tasted some great sausages in my time but these really are the best. Carol and I really enjoyed ourselves munching and chatting through all these mouth-watering creations, and well done to the winning entrant from Wallington Hall Northumberland.” A top chef to cook for you, at home?!
Blackfriars is offering to host a dinner party for up to ten guests in the confines of your own home – with all proceeds going to charity!
