Love yourself a proper sausage roll? The Great Sausage Roll Off is back for its sixth incarnation, which will see beer and foodie Melissa Cole on hand to host chefs from across the country, who’ll be attempting to whip up the perfect ‘roll. The downside? You'll need to venture all the way down to darkest south London for the event, which will take place in Barnes roomy Red Lion pub - though it’s a stroke of luck if you do happen to already be a resident of SW13.
Last year, the competition was won by the ‘From Norfolk with Love’, a sausage roll made with Norfolk-sourced ingredients. It was made by Charlie Hodson of Charlie’s Norfolk Food Heroes, who beat 19 chefs to take home the crown.
