A family butcher’s shop has proved it sells top chops, by landing six awards in a regional event.
Ellisons Butchers, Cullingworth, which was founded by Paul Ellison, is run by his sons John and Brendan.
More than 60 butchers entered the British Pig Executive roadshow at Bolton’s Reebok Stadium.
Ellisons won gold medals for three sausage ranges and silver for two further ranges. The third silver went to Ellisons’ pork pie.
John Ellison said: “We just made them the same as we’d sell them. We’ve also got a gluten-free sausage which did well. I was chuffed about that because they are quite unusual tasting and the judges appreciated them.”
