The Sausage
★ Rated 5.0 (8 reviews) in total | 29.3 miles from South Woodham Ferrers
We are The Sausage, a family-run gourmet hot dog caterer trading since 2015. You will have seen us at Lord's, Twickenham, Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, Everton FC, Aintree Racecourse, Wilderness, Isle of Wight Festival and LIV Golf - 86 public events with more than 5,000 attendees - serving more than 350 portions an hour. We also cater weddings, office parties and private events from around 40 guests upwards. Whatever the scale, the same family turns up and the same sausages come off the griddle.
Who we are
The Sausage has traded at Greenwich Market since 2015. Today we are three brothers - Giancarlo, Gianpiero and Fabrizio - and we work to a simple standard: proper sausages, made properly, served by people who care about your event.
What we serve
Our signature footlong is a Polish smoked pork sausage, 93% pork in a natural casing. Alongside it we serve a halal-certified beef sausage made from prime cuts, a halal-certified turkey frankfurter, and a beechwood-smoked seitan sausage for vegan guests. Every hot dog is finished in a soft demi-brioche bun with a choice of toppings including caramelised onions, pickled gherkins, jalapenos, sauerkraut and crispy onions, plus a range of sauces. We serve loaded fries, sausage boxes and chilled soft drinks. Halal, vegan, vegetarian and nut-free options are all covered. Tell us about any allergy or coeliac requirements in advance and we will plan around them.

Built for events of any size
At full service we serve more than 350 portions an hour, so queues move quickly and your guests get back to the event. Our set-up can vary from gazebos, trailers and a food truck, indoors or outdoors, on gas, electricity or a combination of the two. That flexibility means we are as comfortable at a 40-person office lunch, as we are at a stadium concourse or a festival main stage.
Why clients book us again
We were named Best Market or Mobile Trader at the Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards 2023, and we hold a 5/5 Food Hygiene Rating. Organisers we have worked with for years point to the same things: a clean operation, tight food safety, clear communication, and a team that is genuinely good with a crowd. We are also a plastic-free business, and we source locally wherever we can.
Tell us about your event and we will create something that is perfectly suited to the occasion! We look forward to working with you.
