Sausage Review - we review sausages

Grangeworth (Woodbridge) - Venison & Cranberry

There's a farm shop just north of Puckeridge and west of Braughing on the A10 that's really worth a visit! I think it's called Pearce's. I'm pretty sure it was there we sourced the very nice Venison & Cranberry's made by Grangeworth Traditional Farm Foods. Well to be truthful we have had these in the freezer for a while. I do recall buying them but now I think about it I'm not entirely sure it was from Pearce's! Never the less, what a find.

80% venison meat and cranberries, in very good skins. Cooked up not too sweet and sticky, but very meaty all the same. Succulent yet firm, a proper good bite and chew, I'm told. Hmm... I will explain... Some friends called over one evening and we laid on a small feast which included a few varieties of sausage (well we're quite well known now for sausages here, surprise, surprise) and these particular venison ones went down very well with our guests. So well in fact they wolfed the lot before I could get a look in!

Their feedback was totally unbiased with them all agreeing that what they had tried here was a really good product and probably the best venison sausage they'd tried to date. I was unable to contribute to the marking so our guests offered the score. (Note to self: buy some more to try)

I just hope it was Pearces Farm Shop we got these from as I gave our friends hand drawn directions of how to get over there.
