Ask anyone in Bilston what makes a great breakfast, and they’ll likely mention the Gills Pork Patty. Juicy, flavourful and perfectly seasoned, it’s quickly become one of the highlights of our new café menu. But behind every bite lies over a century of tradition. Our famous sausage patties are made using the same Gills sausage meat recipe that has been perfected over generations, proving that some secrets really are worth keeping.
A Sausage Patty Recipe with Real Heritage
The Gills story began more than 140 years ago, and our approach to sausage-making has never changed. We use premium British pork sourced from trusted suppliers, blending it with a unique combination of herbs and seasonings that have been refined over time. The result is a sausage patty that’s rich, meaty and full of the flavour customers expect from Gills.
Our patties are the same product we’ve been supplying to retailers, wholesalers and foodservice for decades – now served fresh off the griddle at the Gills Café. They form the centrepiece of some of our most popular menu items, including our signature sausage and bacon baps, breakfast rolls and hearty hot lunches.
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each Gills sausage patty is made to the same strict standards as our jumbo sausage and UK sausages, ensuring consistent taste and texture across every batch.
The Secret of our Sausage Patty is in the Simplicity
While many brands try to reinvent the wheel, we believe the best food doesn’t need overcomplicating. Our sausage patties rely on quality ingredients and careful preparation rather than additives or shortcuts. The meat is coarsely ground for texture, the seasoning perfectly balanced, and the patties cooked to perfection for that golden-brown finish.
Customers often comment that the Gills patty “tastes like a proper sausage,” and that’s exactly what it is – the same trusted sausage meat, shaped and cooked for convenience. Whether enjoyed in the café, taken home from the Gills Shop or served in catering, the Gills patty is a true reflection of our heritage and commitment to quality.
The secret behind our famous sausage patties isn’t complicated. It’s heritage, honesty, and a respect for the craft of sausage-making. By combining traditional methods with a modern setting at the Gills Café, we’ve created something that feels both familiar and new.
