Papworth Farms (Swaffham) -
Summer Sizzler Friends who own and run Reymerston Hall, near Dereham in Norfolk, as a wedding venue, and very nice bed & breakfast, use Papworth's for their supply of sausages they told us...and we've certainly liked Papworth's sausages ourselves rating them highly...
On the way recently to day out to the North Norfolk coast we had a coffee stop once again in Swaffham, and well I couldn't resist popping in to the butchers shop across the market place to buy a few sausages while we were there...Glad I did though, once again they were excellent!
I bought a pack on offer, seemed a shame not to as I'm always up for an offer on sausages especially 8 large ones for £6!
J & D Papworths are a traditional Norfolk Butcher and Grazier, who sell quality meats from their own farm and retail in their own butchers shops located in the Norfolk market towns of North Walsham, Fakenham, Sheringham and Swaffham. The farm is based around the market towns of Aylsham and North Walsham in North Norfolk.
The Summer Sizzlers, just like the Norfolk Champions, are a nice plump good looking sausage but this time with 75% locally farmed pork in natural skins. No issues there.
A big pan of sausages is a lovely sight and the aroma from these whilst they sizzled away was again excellent. The skins worked well with no splits at all, and none of that white stuff oozing out either. Excellent again.
Just as with the Champions, the texture was a good medium, the skins cut easily, and the bite and chew was excellent too. Seasoning was spot on and the slight tingle of spice on the tongue afterwards was very good, but the taste was very good as a traditional pork sausage. I expected perhaps a bit more of a "zing" as they were called a "sizzler". However let's not get too hung up on that, they were a blooming good traditional pork sausage! There's something to be said about a plain pork sausage when quality ingredients are used, and skill and passion are in the making...so, these are not just a plain pork sausage...they are a 5 banger mark plain pork sizzling sausage!
I saved one for a sandwich for the day after, and eaten cold...stonkingly good!
Would we buy again? Now come on? Oh yes please!
