Adrian Oliver wins 2019 Great Sausage Roll Off

The Kernow Sausage Company's Adrian Oliver has won the Great Sausage Roll Off 2019.

The competition, held at the Red Lion pub in Barnes, pitted 15 chefs against each other in a bid to come up with the best sausage roll recipe.

Judges of the competition included chef and Sunday Brunch presenter Simon Rimmer, 2016 BBC MasterChef winner Jane Devonshire, Brunswick house chef director Andrew Clarke, and Holborn Dining Room executive chef Calum Franklin.

Oliver's winning creation was a sausage roll of Cornish pork, bacon and sage with mustard mayo.

In second place was 2017 winner and owner of Norfolk Food Heroes Charlie Hodson. His creation was called ‘to be frank', which was made from pork meat from four independent Norfolk Butchers and a hint of juniper.

Phil Harrison, chef and owner of Bears Ice Cream Company, came in third place with ‘the dirty Mexican'.

The event, hosted by beer and food writer Melissa Cole, helped to raise nearly £2,000 for charity Hospitality Action, with the chefs' sausage rolls auctioned off to the watching crowd.
