Ben's Canteen wins Fuller's Great Sausage Roll Off
Chris Brumby from Ben’s Canteen in Battersea was the winner at host venue the Red Lion in Barnes, Surrey.
Runners up were Jamie Thicket and Ben Mullock from the Opera Tavern with an Iberico pork sausage roll, followed by Andrew Justice of the Running Horse in Mayfair with a wild rabbit and chestnut mushroom sausage roll served with a carrot and thyme puree.
Chase vodka provided marmalade mule cocktails to wash down the pastry creations. James Chase owns the Running Horse and supplied his signature marmalade vodka for guests to try as well as samples of the range for the prize-winning chefs.

"I was hoping for a vast selection of sausage rolls and creative flair from the chefs and I was not disappointed," said Angus McKean, manager of the Red Lion. "All of the entries had their own unique taste and character. It was a superb event that just keeps getting better. We’re already looking forward to next year."
