P.J Howarth & Son are
very proud of the awards that have been presented to them,
we know the products we offer for sale are of the finest quality,
and we know this because the most important people tell us
regularly, our customers.
But of course to be judged to have the best products
in the North West of England by the countries most experienced
judges is very nice too! |

Jon Howard receives the platinum
award |
PJ Howarth
& Son Butchers in Flixton scooped the award at the National
Foodex Meatex show at the NEC in Birmingham on Sunday, and the
team at the shop are absolutely delighted.
The shop entered three sausages (Cumberland,
Traditional Pork and the Pork with
Organic Leeks) in the Sausage Evaluation contest at
the show, an open competition to find the best banger in the
country. All entrants must submit a pound of raw and a pound
of cooked sausage, and strict guidelines about weight, size
and cooking mean that it’s easy to lose points, as Jon
explains. |
"We’ve
entered a couple of times before and done ok but we’ve
let ourselves down in the past with our cooking. It sounds
easy, cooking a sausage, but it’s not. You have to
get it absolutely perfect. This time we did."
All three of the Howarth entries received gold awards, but
the judges were particularly taken by the Cumberland, awarding
it the diamond award as Best in England. The team were understandably
excited about that, but were absolutely blown away when,
having pitted it against the best in Welsh wieners, Belfast
bangers and Scottish sausages, it took the platinum award
for the Best Sausage in the UK!
