For the tenth year, Fitzroy's beloved Builders Arms Hotel is once again devoting ten days to sausages in June, celebrating everything from classic British bangers to stuffed pigs' trotters. Make a lunch or dinner booking anytime from Friday June 23 to Sunday July 2 to taste your fave sossies from the special festival menu.
The carnivorous array includes pacific oysters with grilled Merguez sausages, lemon and mignonette sauce; Cumberland sausages with mashed potato and onion gravy; choucroute garnie (a French dish and the mother of all sausage preparations with two types of sausage and pork belly, served on sauerkraut with mustard); and stuffed pig's trotter sausage with braised lentils, mustard fruit and salsa verde .
While we love a Bunnings sizzle as much as the next person, there's no doubt this menu takes it to the next level. The incredibly talented Troy Wheeler and his team from Meatsmith are making all the sausages from scratch in the Builders Arms kitchen, so you can expect proper juicy ones of an exceptional quality and with all the complementary accoutrements.
For a bit of extra fun, the program includes a special sausage-themed edition of Trivia with Cam Smith (of Triple R's food show Eat It) on Wednesday evening, June 28. Call up your most competitive foodie friends, establish a team and prepare yourself for a night of obscure sausage facts, general snag knowledge and plenty of laughs all around. See the full program and make a booking at the website.
