THE 'steaks' are rising – much like the pastry – as butchers try to make ends 'meat' before The Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie Competition deadline.
Run by Hampshire Fare, the contest was last held in 2020, but organisers were forced to cancel last year's over Covid.
But this year it is returning with new categories and new venues.
Tracy Nash, commercial manager at Hampshire Fare, said: "At Hampshire Fare we are very proud of The Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie Competition which has national prestige.
However, the competition is only open to entrants within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including members and non-members of Hampshire Fare."
New categories include scotch eggs, sausage rolls, and vegetarian sausages.
Ms Nash continued: "We are very excited about the refresh that we have given the competition in response to requests and people’s changing tastes.
"It is always our aim to encourage engagement with an even wider audience."
Entry forms for the Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie Competition can be downloaded from www.hampshirefare.co.uk, and must be completed and returned by January 31 2022.
