From the shop in Bath
we supply not only our retail customers but also many Restaurants, Pubs and Hotels. The mail order business was started in 1998 because so many visitors were saying that because they had difficulty getting good sausages at home could we deliver to them.

*What the Press have to say!

Our shop is in the very heart of the old city of Bath.

Trade has carried on in this little street for centuries, and has many shops that supply top quality fresh foods. For one day a year the small busy street is closed off for a 'Gastronomic delight' when traders and chef's fill the street with a Carnival of freshly prepared food and drink.

Bite back,
True blue banger is a hit with the voters Trader Joe Cole came up with a true blue way of marketing the Prime Minister's visit to Bath - Mr Major Breakfast Sausage.
And the novel blue banger made with a recipe from Mr Major's Huntingdon constituency sold like hotcakes.

Bath's Joe Cole gains international fame as a master producer of more than 30 varieties of sausage
Right stuff :by using natural ingredients and avoiding additives and mechanically - separated meats, sausage maker Joe Cole has built a reputation known as far away as Australia. Phil James (above) of The Sausage Shop, mixes meat ready for extruding at the company's Bath factory,...
seek out Joe Cole's emporium of gastronomic delights in Green Street - and to be bewildered to find no fewer than 32 varieties of sausages on sale.
But that is only a small tip of a very large iceberg. For Joe's dedication to packing a complete meal into a sausage skin has now led him to acquire a staggering repertoire of more than 300 separate recipes.
