For over 140 years, Gills has been known as a leading British sausage manufacturer, trusted by retailers, wholesalers and caterers across the UK. Now, that same dedication to quality can be experienced directly by customers at the new Gills Café in Bilston. Every breakfast, lunch, and coffee served is part of the same story of craft, care, and community that has defined Gills for generations.
Gills Story – A Heritage Built on Craftsmanship
Producing exceptional sausages has always been at the heart of what we do. Our recipes, processes and quality standards have been refined over more than a century, ensuring every product – from our classic thick pork sausages to our jumbo sausage and signature pork patties – meets the highest expectations.
The new Gills Café gives customers the opportunity to experience that craftsmanship in a new way. Each dish served reflects the same values that guide our manufacturing: consistent quality, traditional flavour, and attention to detail. The sausages you enjoy in our café are the same ones trusted by supermarkets and foodservice providers nationwide – cooked fresh, served hot and enjoyed in good company.
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
While our history is long, our approach continues to evolve. We combine time-honoured methods with modern production and distribution systems, ensuring our sausages are both authentic and accessible. The café embodies that philosophy – a modern, welcoming space built on traditional values of good food and friendly service.
Visitors to Gills Café often remark on the connection between our products and our story. The experience bridges the gap between manufacturer and customer, showing how the same standards that guide our production can be felt at the table. It’s proof that great quality doesn’t stop at the factory door – it extends to every bite, every brew and every friendly smile from our team.
Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, picking up your favourites from the Gills Shop, or ordering online at Gills Direct, you’re taking part in a story that has been 140 years in the making.
