Prize sausages among best in region

A husband and wife team are celebrating after reaching the regional finals of the National Sausage Competition.

James and Charlotte Quinn, who run Quintessential Meats Farm Shop in Warfield, made it down to the last eight before missing out on the top prize for London and the South-east on Friday.

The competition, which received about 300 entries, is judged by celebrity chef Simon Rimmer.

"We've only been going for two years and it's the second competition we have entered so it's a great result for us," said mum-of-three Charlotte.

"All our meat is made by hand using traditional methods.

"We're a really small business and we managed to beat a lot of the high profile butchers."
