Enter The Great Hampshire Sausage & Pie Competition

The deadline for entering The Great Hampshire Sausage & Pie Competition is January 31.

The Great Hampshire Sausage & Pie Competition, established and run by Hampshire Fare, was last held in 2020.

With consideration given to the safety of judges and competitors, it was decided not to hold the competition in 2021. However, the competition is returning this year with new categories and new venues.

Tracy Nash, commercial manager at Hampshire Fare, said: “At Hampshire Fare we are very proud of The Great Hampshire Sausage & Pie Competition which has national prestige. However, the competition is only open to entrants within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including members and non-members of Hampshire Fare.”

For 2022 the competition has been given a refresh with the introduction of new categories that reflect consumers’ evolving tastes. These include new scotch egg and sausage roll categories, while a new alternative sausage category includes vegetarian sausages.
