Trevor Fairburn Butchers, Lakings of Louth, Jackson’s Butchers, Meridian Meats and Pocklington’s Bakery all helped to retain Louth’s crown as the food capital of Lincolnshire when they each won a multitude of awards at the Lincolnshire Showground on Wednesday October 15.

Pocklington’s Bakery, based in Withern, earned special commendation when they were crowned as the ‘class champion’ in the haslet category, in which they were also the only gold award winners.

The categories in this year’s competition were Lincolnshire Sausage, speciality sausage, gluten-free sausage, stuffed chine, haslet, plum bread, pork pie, sausage roll, steak pie, burger, bacon and ‘innovations’ (meat and non-meat).
