What makes a Lincolnshire sausage unique?

Lakings’ secret recipe ensures a succulent, flavourful bite every time, setting it apart as a culinary icon. Reviews on Trustpilot back this up too, with one returning customer calling them ‘the best sausages under the sun’.
A brief history of Lincolnshire sausages
The origins of Lincolnshire sausages date back to the 19th century when farmers in the region used locally sourced pork to create hearty sausages with distinct flavours. Sage became a hallmark of the recipe, as it grew abundantly in the area. Today, the Lincolnshire sausage remains a proud symbol of the county’s culinary tradition, often enjoyed at breakfast, dinner, or even in gourmet recipes. The humble sausage even has an event dedicated to it. For the last 20 years, a popular celebration of Lincolnshire sausages has taken place at the Lincoln Sausage Festival, held in the grounds of Lincoln Castle each October, drawing visitors from near and far.
Lakings’ traditional recipe for Lincolnshire sausages
The authentic Lincolnshire sausage recipe calls for high-quality, locally reared pork, seasoned generously with sage, salt, and pepper, and bound with natural casings. Lakings stay true to this tradition, using only ethically sourced, Lincolnshire pork to ensure the finest flavour and texture.
