SAUSAGE SUCCESS
FOR YORKSHIRE DALES
MEAT COMPANY!
The Yorkshire Dales
Meat Company outshone
its catering butcher
competitors in a public vote
for the best sausage at The
Camp Hill Estate Beer and
Sausage Festival recently,
attended by former Foreign
Secretary and current MP
for Richmond, William
Hague.
Yorkshire Dales Meat
Company’s Caramelised Red
Onion sausages finished
second in the overall entirely
independent public vote won
by celebrated Bedale High
Street butcher and sausage
maker, Cockburn’s.
In finishing second, Yorkshire
Dales Meat Company beat off
competition from much fancied
catering butcher rivals that had
gone to great lengths to talk
up their chances beforehand.
James Knox, Finance Director
at Yorkshire Dales Meat
Company, said: “We knew we
had a really good sausage but
we entered the competition to
benchmark ourselves against
other sausagemakers and
without any expectation of
winning.
“So, to finish ahead of all our
catering butcher competitors,
in a public vote, was absolutely
fantastic, and gives us even
greater confidence in our
products.
“There’s no reason why we
can’t improve our sausages

still further and become
outright winners in this and
other competitions in the
future.”
Yorkshire Dales Meat
Company supplies a wide
range of sausages - from
traditional pork to chilli, and
from wild boar to Swaledale
rings - to restaurants, hotels,
caterers, event venues and
cafés across the North of
England. Such was the
demand for Yorkshire Dales
Meat Company’s sausages
and burgers that sales of those
products shot up 150% during
the Tour de France.
