This is the third time we have gone to the Battle of the Bangers. It's held at The Forum in Norwich it's completely free and you get to taste some of the best sausages Norfolk has to offer.
It's held in a fenced off area off to the side of the Forum. You are greeted by some very friendly volunteers who give you a voting card and stickers for the children. Elizabeth even got her own voting card this year. Then you can wander around the stalls tasting as many sausages as you like. Just as long as you vote for your favourite at the end.
There were 6 butchers competing this year, you can find out more about them here.
Elizabeth (and Rebecca) voted for The Beefsmith sausages. Jeff and I voted for Icarus Hines sausages. The Beefsmith sausages were, as the title suggests, beef. I much prefer pork sausages, although these ones were nice. Icarus Hines had a few different sausages to sample which was good. Jeff would have liked to have tried their marmite sausages, but they didn't have any on the day.
We always buy some sausages from the event. Icarus Hines didn't have any for sale, but they did have some vouchers for money off buying them at their shop. We bought some Beefsmith sausages seeing as the girls liked them.
Other than the Battle of the Bangers, there were also various food stalls, a tractor for children to sit in and some farm animals to look at so you could get the full before/after experience of your sausages...
A great day out.
