“Obviously the market has been in the running for the best British high street this year, so it’s an accolade for not just me but the town as a whole.”
Nick, who has worked at the shop for 32 years, taking over two years ago, says the sausages contain fennel, garlic, parsley, nutmeg, black pepper and a hint of chilli flake.
“I also run an Italian restaurant in Rochdale and they are very popular there too,” he added.
