Faggots

Full product description

A proper Black Country classic. Our faggots are hand-formed meatballs made the traditional way with pork, liver and onions, gently seasoned for rich, comforting flavour. They roast to a bronzed crust and stay tender inside, bathing happily in a deep onion or gravy. Serve with mash, peas and plenty of sauce for the full chippy-tea vibe—or tuck them into crusty rolls with pickled onions. Old-school, hearty and absolutely delicious.
