British Sausage Week Mayhem!
Monday the 5th November marked the start of 2012’s British Sausage Week, and what better way to celebrate than by creating a banger filled menu for our cosy Cheshire Inns - The Bear’s Paw and Pheasant Inn.
This year we decided to involve our loyal customers and give them the opportunity to tell us what they’d like to see on the menu. Following a close Facebook poll, Beef and Ale reigned victorious with our Pheasant fans, a warming Autumnal dish that will be served with a horseradish mash, stockpot vegetables and a red wine sauce.
Our Pheasant Inn Head Chef has also been busy and recently took part in a sausage master class with Lancashire renowned butcher Mr Hargreaves. They created delicious Pork and Leek sausages that will be served as "toad in the hole" with braised cabbage, creamy mash & gravy, alongside Cumberland Sausages presented as a traditional, winter warming hot-pot.
And just in case that wasn’t enough to entice, they are adding two more extra special creations- a Toulouse sausage cassoulet and Morteau sausage with lentil broth which will be accompanying the other dishes between the 5th & 11th November.
Over at The Bear’s Paw, the kitchen has been buzzing with ideas on taste infusions to offer to the public. Out of the seven varieties considered, three were voted most popular- Pork and Apple, Cumberland and Chicken & Black pudding, therefore these will be served as main courses until Sunday, which marks the end of British Sausage Week.
As an extra treat we set a challenge to find the tastiest flavour our Facebook fans could concoct. After a wealth of suggestions and considerable deliberation, a sausage version of the classic Steak and Ale was chosen by our culinary team, with the winner being invited to The Bear’s Paw to dine on the dish they created!

About The Pheasant Inn
Tucked in a peaceful corner of rural Cheshire, yet sitting high atop the Peckforton Hills, The Pheasant enjoys some of the most magnificent panoramic views in the area stretching across the Cheshire plain to the Welsh hills. Here you can get far away from it all; but remain astonishingly close to the city.
Benefiting from a full refurbishment of the pub and dining area in January 2014, The Pheasant serves good, honest wholesome food using fresh, local produce awarded for its quality with an AA Rosette. During winter months you can enjoy cosy meals around open fires, whilst in the Summer you can dine 'al fresco' and admire the panoramic views of the Cheshire plains. The bar features four real ales and a fantastic selection of renowned wines from around the world.
The Pheasant Inn would be delighted to host your special occasion where there are various areas of the restaurant available to dedicate to your party, dependent upon your guest numbers.
And for those who wish to make a night of it, The Pheasant Inn offers twelve en-suite bedrooms housed in delightful Cheshire sandstone buildings.
The 5 star Pheasant Inn is without doubt one of the most picturesque inns in Cheshire. Delightful 300 year old Cheshire sandstone buildings, open fires, breathtaking panoramic views, a flower filled courtyard for a drink as the sun goes down... they all add up to magic. Whether you come to drink, dine or unwind for a few days, this atmospheric location will quickly have you under its spell!
