This year’s UK Sausage Week will run from 27th October to 3rd November 2025, with a special awards lunch kicking off the week on Monday 27th October at Butchers’ Hall in London.
Winners of the UKSW competition will be announced at the lunch, and the UK Supreme Sausage Champion will be selected from the winners of each category.
Entrants will receive full details of how and where to send their sausage products once their online nominations have been submitted.
Actual product delivery will be required on Tuesday 19th August, following the product nomination deadline of Friday 1st August, and should be delivered to the UKSW test kitchens at Milton Keynes College. Click here to nominate products.
Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Meat Management magazine, who organise UKSW commented: “Nominating sausage products now will allow good time for us to respond and for entrants to plan product delivery. Winning sausages and shortlisted finalists normally see a very substantial boost to sales and can generate wide publicity, so I do hope as many businesses as possible will participate.”
