POSH sausage producers from Pwllheli travelled to Cardiff this week to showcase their delicious creations, and give away gourmet hot dogs.

Porc.Wales launched the ‘Posh Sausage Pop-Up’ on Monday outside Cardiff’s Capitol Centre to give people a chance to taste competition winning ‘posh pork’ produced in north Wales.

A team of black-tie waiters greeted diners and offered luxury table service while they dined on some of Wales’ finest pork sausages, all cooked at the portable hot dog cart by pork expert Elwen Roberts, of Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC).

Choosing the best sausage for the job was no easy feat as Kirstie Jones, market development officer at HCC explained: “In July, at the Royal Welsh Show, we ran a competition amongst our producers asking them to put their ‘best sausage forward’, so we could find the perfect supplier for the pop-up.

“All entries were very high quality and it was a tough call, but with the help of judge Scott Quinnell, we selected our winner in Gwynedd-based Oinc Oink, with their amazing blend of the finest pork from Wales, coupled with South Caernarfon Creameries’ Vintage Welsh Cheddar.”

Pwllheli-based pork producers Huw and Ela Roberts of Oinc Oink said: “As the owners of Oinc Oink, we’re looking forward to giving the people of Cardiff the opportunity to taste our Welsh sausages that contain cheese from the local creamery; Welsh produce at its best!”
