Old English remains one of the most dependable sausage flavours in the trade. It’s familiar, balanced and versatile — a classic profile that continues to work across retail counters, foodservice menus and production lines.
With its traditional seasoning and broad appeal, Old English earns its place as a core line for butchers who value flavour that performs consistently without needing explanation.
“All our customers love the Old English Sausage Mix”
David Limb, E.W. Coates Butchers
A flavour built for everyday production
Old English is designed to deliver a rounded, traditional taste that customers recognise and trust. It complements a wide range of meats and works reliably across different batch sizes, making it a practical choice for both independent butchers and larger producers.
It’s the kind of flavour that doesn’t need constant adjustment — once it’s in your range, it stays there.
One flavour profile, three clear options
To support different production requirements and market positions, the Old English flavour profile is available across three Leonards ranges:
80s Range – 80% meat content
Designed for higher meat content sausages, the 80s range allows butchers to produce an 80% meat sausage while delivering the same familiar Old English flavour. It’s a strong option for counters where meat content is a clear selling point.
Gourmet Range – 69% meat content
The Gourmet range supports a 69% meat sausage, offering flexibility for premium-styled lines where balance, seasoning and presentation play a key role. The Old English profile remains consistent, making it easy to maintain a recognisable flavour across tiers.
Gluten Free Range
For customers looking to make a gluten-free claim, Old English is also available within Leonards’ gluten-free range — allowing butchers to meet specific customer requirements without moving away from a proven flavour profile.
Consistency without compromise
Having the same Old English flavour available across multiple ranges means you don’t need to compromise on taste to meet different specifications. Whether you’re adjusting meat content or responding to dietary requirements, the end product remains familiar and dependable.
That consistency helps protect your reputation — and keeps customers coming back for the sausage they already know.
A classic that continues to earn its place
Old English isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about delivering a sausage that works, batch after batch, across multiple applications. When a flavour has stood the test of time, reliability doesn’t need to be overstated — it shows in customer response.
A classic flavour only earns its place when it performs reliably. If Old English sounds like the right fit for your sausage range, we’d be pleased to talk through your requirements.
