Time Out says

For 13 glorious years, the Builders Arms Hotel has been paying tribute to the humble snag. And this winter, the beloved Sausage Fest returns with six menu offerings dedicated to all things sausage – and it's bound to be a banger. Geddit?

Running until June 28 from noon, expect everything from a spicy Merguez sausage paired with oysters and a mignonette dressing to a woodfired duck neck snag served with pork, pistachio and a rich jus.

Other highlights include a Manchester Scotch egg with black pudding, a choucroute garnie loaded with smoked frankfurters and pork belly, a saucisson brioche, and a classic Spotted Dick with warm vanilla and brandy custard. Our tip: come in a group, order all six dishes and you'll score a limited-edition tote bag.

The fun doesn't stop at the menu. On Wednesday, June 24, test your knowledge at sausage-themed trivia hosted by Cam Smith from 6pm onwards, with prizes including a Meatsmith sausage tray up for grabs. Snag your spot here.
