AN AWARD-WINNING butchers in Conwy have won another prize – the best sausage in Wales.

Edwards of Conwy won Meat Promotion Wales’ ‘Put Your Best Sausage Forward 2023’ competition, with their Edwards Firecracker Celebration sausage named the best banger in Wales.

The business, founded by Ieuan Edwards in 1983, was presented with the award at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show.

Celebrating its 40th birthday, Edwards of Conwy also won the Best Butchers in Wales & West category at the Butcher's Shop of the Year awards earlier this year.

With their win, Edwards of Conwy automatically qualified for the ‘Champion of Champions’ sausage competition at the UK-wide Butcher Shop of the Year 2024 awards.

A spokesperson for Edwards of Conwy said: “It is a huge honour to have our sausage named as the very best in Wales.

“We are celebrating forty years in business this year, so what better way to celebrate than to win this title.

“We knew our Edwards Firecracker Celebration sausage would be something to be proud of – you could say it has been four decades in the making.

“Winning this award is testament to our dedicated and talented team in creating the best sausage in Wales.

“It was quite nerve wracking at the final event, but we were thrilled when the judges announced our sausage the worthy winner.

“We were up against some sausage making trailblazers, including last year’s winner and runner up, so we were thrilled to win the title.

“We are really excited to be representing Wales at the ‘Champion of Champions’ sausage competition and hope to be crowned the best across the whole of the UK.”
