BBC GOOD FOOD SHOW BIRMINGHAM
We have just returned from this years BBC Good Food Show Birmingham where we we completely overwhelmed by how much we sold. Due to unprecedented demand we unfortunately ran out of Black Pudding and Lorne Sausage on Saturday afternoon. Sunday saw us start the day with a few Haggis and some packets of Bacon which just managed to see us through to lunchtime on Sunday. Apologies to those who came along to our stand, only to leave disappointed.
Our products featured on the Ready Steady Cook Stage, with chef Brian Turner using Ramsay's Black Pudding, Lorne Sausage, Bacon & Haggis.
