Kennedy's Sausages

[lozzyloz]

Just found this news item Sausage Makers to close after 130 Years

Reading their reasons for shutting it sounds like they couldn't keep up with the times. Perhaps they should've focus on just producing sausages. Shame to lose those oldy worldy shop fronts.

Reminds me of the lovely pie shop in Greenwich closing down a while ago for a fecking GBK!!! Grrr

That was a great pie & mash shop too Keef, remember it well.

Surely sausage makers could tap into the local markets with the whole traditional goodness is best type angle that William Rose have?

bagpuss78 and lozzyloz,

thanks for the news, all be it sad.

I guess it'll be a mad rush to stock up on the pork chips before the shops finally shut down, it's a pity as no other sausage seems to have that slightly spicy / caramelly combination. Oh the joys of a split Kennedy's pork sausage

As fas as I'm concerned, the best sausages in the UK are from Biggles - and my favourites are the "California" ones - they're nice and spicy Sean!

That's a lot to do with the fact that I'm on a gluten-free diet (it's medical not a faddy choice before anyone starts)! but that aside, they are seriously fantastic sausages!

CALIFORNIA

Pork with paprika, chili and capsicum peppers. Slightly spicy and great for barbecue.

mmmmm - you know me well young Mr Mc

The range sounds very similar to the sausage place in the vaults under London Bridge... could be suppliers I guess - I often stop off and pick some up from there

[David Mc]

I'll ask them where they get them from!

[Michael Palaeologus]

I would never buy a sausage from a shop - for gods sake.

Go to the countryside (Penge for instance) and pick your own.

Villagers sausages in Beckenham do a large range of gluten free sausages

[David Mc]

Thanks - I'll check them out!

There was a feature on Kennedy's on BBC London radio this morning... presented by my ex-neighbour.

Just thought I'd share that with you all.

This was on the message board of the News item about Kennedy's closing (linked above)

"nooooo, their chipolatas are the mutts nuts...well not literally, i'm gonna have to buy in bulk and freeze 'em"

some of yous take your sausages deadly serious...

The head office/factory in Peckham is coming up for auction this week - guideline is ?3m plus.

I would have retired years ago if I was Mr Kennedy!
