All products and flavours are subject to seasonal availability.
SAUSAGE SIZE GUIDE
What do 4s, 8s and 12s mean?
Butchers size sausages by how many make up a pound (454g). The lower the number, the bigger the sausage: four 4s weigh a pound, and so do sixteen chipolatas.
| Size | Per pound | About each | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4s (jumbo) | 4 | 113g | Big appetites, bangers and mash, sausage casseroles |
| 6s | 6 | 76g | Premium and gourmet sausages, a hearty breakfast |
| 8s | 8 | 57g | The classic breakfast sausage and our most popular size |
| 12s | 12 | 38g | Thinner sausages, children’s portions, buffets |
| 16s (chipolatas) | 16 | 28g | Pigs in blankets, Christmas dinner, canapés |
| 32s (cocktail) | 32 | 14g | Party food, cocktail sticks and finger buffets |
Weights are approximate. We can make most of our recipes in any size for catering customers. Ask for sizes not shown.
How much meat is in a sausage?
By law, a sausage sold as a pork sausage must be at least 42% pork. Other sausages must be at least 30% meat (26% if the meat is poultry). Meat content is always shown on the label.
How many do I need?
As a rough guide, allow two or three 8s per person for breakfast, two 4s or 6s for a main meal, and two or three chipolatas each for Christmas dinner.

FOR SCHOOL CATERERS
Cooking for a school?
A quick guide to which of our products suit school portions, using raw weights from the government’s portion guide for school lunches in England. You know your own menus and standards best: we cut and pack to the portion weight you need.
| Per portion | Primary (ages 4 to 10) | Secondary (ages 11 to 18) |
|---|---|---|
| Sausages | 50g to 75g: one of our 8s (about 57g), or a 6s (about 76g) | 75g to 95g: one of our 6s (about 76g), or two 12s (about 76g together) |
Working to Food for Life Served Here? The Soil Association’s bronze standard asks caterers to check that sausages are made with meat from farms in one of the welfare schemes it lists, contain at least 62% meat (below that they count as highly processed), and contain none of its listed undesirable additives or artificial trans fats. Ask us for the specification of any product.
