I love going to Leesons Butchers in Oakham. It is a PROPER butchers. It is an award winning butchers. It is what you expect of a village butchers.
They’re friendly. They’re helpful and they are the best.
It’s a great drive to Oakham as well – rolling countryside and just over the hill from Rutland Water.
When I’m passing I will try and pop in even if it adds an extra half hour or more on my trip – there’s always something in there that takes my fancy … and also Packmans as well.

This time I thought I would try their made-in-the-butchers Pork and Stilton sausages.

I bought 4 sausages each for me and Packman to try.

Meaty

The sausages ARE meaty. I read on their site that the sausages are 90% meat – not the highest percentage you can get, but it certainly seems extremely meaty. And the meat is free range. Obviously there is Stilton mixed in as well.
Cooking the sausages – a heavenly smell fills the kitchen while they’re cooking. My mouth is drooling at the thought of eating those luscious bangers. The dogs circle me while I’m turning the sausages in the pan – they obviously want a piece of the action as well. Yeah, well, they can dream on!

Taste

I confess that I had the sausages on their own. Bare naked sausages without any bread, egg, chips, beans or anything. NOTHING!
They were BLOODY MARVELOUS! The Stilton adds a unique flavour to the sausages. I sat and had all 4 sausages in a single sitting. Do I feel guilty? Not a bit of it. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY!
So in short – did I like them? Too right I did!

Pack Man Says: Outstanding. No fat, just filling. Perfick!

Van Man Says: I LOVE these sausages. They are so different to supermarket sausages. They have a divine taste and aroma. I can’t get enough of them.
