A prize-winning butcher accepts customers will either “love or hate” the sausage that has attracted his latest national award – the Marmite and cheese banger.<\/p>\n

Darren Morgan from Shropshire, won the best innovative sausage category at the National Craft Butcher Awards.<\/p>\n

Mr Morgan, whose shop is Waters Upton near Telford, said judges had been surprised at how well the flavour combination worked.<\/p>\n

Other winners included Perry’s of Eccleshall, Staffordshire, for its black pudding, and Robinson’s of Tettenhall in Wolverhampton, which won the best traditional sausage category.<\/p>\n

Morgan’s Country Butchers also picked up the judges’ choice award for its Gloucester Old Spot sausage.<\/p>\n

Mr Morgan is the fourth generation of his family to run the firm and works alongside daughter Lauren, the fifth.<\/p>\n

He said they continually tried to improve their products, and awards were a good mark of success.<\/p>\n

“There’s an old adage – ‘When you stop getting better, you stop being good’,” he said.<\/p>\n

Organisers of the awards “seek to uncover and reward the outstanding products being made every day by dedicated and highly skilled craft butchers”.<\/p>\n

More than 200 entries from across the country were tasted by industry experts to find the winners.<\/p>\n

Products were entered across nine categories, from traditional sausages to hot and cold pies.<\/p>\n

Head judge Keith Fisher, said: “I never fail to be surprised and delighted at the quality and innovation demonstrated by our butchers right here in the UK.<\/p>\n

“Today’s winners truly deserve their awards and they should be proud to represent the best of craft butchery.”<\/p>\n
