Hi there

I buy Cumberland sausages by the English Sausage Co from Woolies, Coles and the IGA. They do other varieties.

A user on here called Wenz makes great sausages (traditional English, cumberland, pork and leek etc), cornish pasties and pork pies. He hasn't posted on the forum for a while but you can always email or PM him to see if he sells his products at any shops/markets near you. He lives in the Gold Coast if that helps.

We get Wensley's sausages and pasties regularly at one of the British shops near by and they are sold out nearly every week.

I buy the English variety from Wollies too - they aren't the same but near enough. I don't like Aussie beef ones, but I do like the pork chipolata ones from Woolies - maybe give them a go see what you think?

Proper butcher. Not a supermarket.

Try one of the meat factories, theres a good one at Burleigh they do a great pork and parsley sausage thats yummy. C x

It's not difficult but it's very time-consuming, especially at the start, trying to get the consistency and flavouring right. I've done it a few times but always need another person to help stuffing. Actually it's quite fun to do and sometime hilarious with all the possible rude jokes...

I had a hard time trying to get sausage skin from the butcher though. Not many of them sell the stuff because they want you to buy sausages from them.

You'll be lucky to find a decent sausage here, they're gopping

As Shirley mentioned the british sausage company ones (Cumberland variety) are the best if you can only do supermarkets.
If your in Perth the best butchers pork sausages ive found are from the Boatshed in Cott. (thick pork sausages I think there called) the bacon is also very good from there, both would be on a par with decent UK sausages.

Next best snags (and the best pies around) would have to be Peters Butchers in Claremont (one in Floreat Forum as well but not quite as good a range)

Try the traditional BBQ variety from "North Star" butchers in the Currambine Marketplace ...

Deeelish on the chargrill & my missus tell's me the guys throwing their pork around at the back of the shop are pretty pleasing on the eye too

The safeway luxury range ones are not bad at all-they do normal pork, beef & cracked pepper and lamb-worth a try!
