99 Station Street

Every so often, there is the Heston moment, not all restaurateurs have them and to be honest they aren’t that Heston when they happen Our’s was looking at the ingredients for our new house sausage recipe and discovering that we bought our craft ingredients from the same place that Heston does. That’s three mentions and we haven’t had a visit like in Beetlejuice. There’s no place like home, no place like home ….

OK, Dan and myself started playing in the kitchen with the idea of the Burton Sausage and to be honest, there is only so much you can do with Marmite before you join the hate-it brigade. The first prototypes had some great taste, but nothing compared with Dan’s experimentation over the next few days where he came up with a sample using some of the best local ingredients you can get.

The result was rather embarassing for me as I have made sausages for a few years and even entered some into competitions.  I was tasting the first of the new batch, Dan had left me on the starting line.

Take 5 great suppliers and a great chef, the results speak for themselves. The new 99 Station Street sausage leaves the kitchen, 7th April 2009.
