Perfecting a Delicious and Versatile Selection over 70 Years

Sausages, hotdogs, meatballs, and patties to name a few; for 70 years Blakemans have been the leading manufacturer and supplier of chilled, cooked, and frozen quality sausages and meat products, supplying them to caterers, takeaways, wholesalers, and retailers alike.

James Blakeman began his business back in 1953 after becoming a master butcher and he soon gained notoriety for his butchers’ style sausages and his traditional Cumberland whirls. He quickly managed to earn himself a wealth of loyal customers and a reputation for the quality and flavour of his offerings.

The most famous of all of the Blakemans products is the humble catering sausage, adored by their loyal clients and their customers alike. Developed during the cod wars to give chip shops an alternative offering when supplies of fish were hard to come by, the sausages needed to be cooked in the frying ranges of the chip shops, which would cause traditional sausages in natural skin to burst. After extensive trials with a synthetic skin producer, Mr Blakeman had cracked it, and the rest is history. James Morris, Head of Business Development said,

“Everybody knows that our speciality is catering sausages, they’re our ‘bread and butter’ so to say and it is great that after nearly 70 years, the traditional recipe that took Mr Blakeman so long to develop is still loved by our loyal and new clients alike.”

Not stopping here, Blakemans cemented their place in the market going on to produce a pre-cooked range. A delicious and versatile selection of meatballs, pork patties, pigs in blankets, stuffing balls and sausages (both whole and sliced), cooked for convenience and individually frozen locking in every inch of the much loved Blakemans taste. James said,

“For as long as I can remember, we have been working tirelessly to produce the best meat products on the market for our ever-loyal caterers, takeaways, retailers and wholesalers across the country.”

“It is thanks to the constant demand to provide for our customers that we have been able to put the time into expanding our range. We are always looking to improve, develop and expand and luckily the team are never short on ideas!”

The ever-growing range at Blakemans creates limitless opportunities for businesses to expand both their markets and their menu’s. Premiumisation and customisation are at the heart of consumer demand and this range enables businesses to turn a simple sausage into a luxury hotdog (for example) with the simple addition of a soft brioche bun, sweet and sticky onions, smoky gooey cheese and a squirt of whichever sauce tickles your fancy.

Or why not experiment with their growing range of sausage patties, adding a quick turnaround ‘breakfast on the go’ to your offering? Simply re-heated and sandwiched between a traditional English muffin with a fried egg and a slice of strong cheddar – so good that you’ll never visit the golden arches again!

Regardless of how you choose to serve up, something always guaranteed is the quality, value and the no mess, no fuss, no waste guarantee of the Blakemans pre-cooked range.
