A Gloucestershire farm's 'sausage roll of exceeding enormity' landed them £10,000 and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Cinderhill Farm's Deborah Flint was one of 10 finalists to compete in the Midcounties Cooperative Food Glorious Food competiion.

Deborah, from St Briavels near Lydney, was crowned victorious after wowing the expert judging panel with her sausage roll and 'foggy pasty'.

The winner received a £10,000 investment and an exclusive product listing in Midcounties Cooperative food stores in Gloucestershire

After presenting to a judging panel, which included Countryfile and Cotswold Farm Park owner Adam Henson and Gloucester Rugby legend and Celebrity Master Chef winner Phil Vickery, Deborah was awarded a £10,000 investment and an exclusive product listing in all 52 Midcounties Food stores in Gloucestershire.

Deborah said: "We've worked so hard to create the perfect sausage roll and can't believe that our product has been crowned the winner of Food Glorious Food.

We'll be using the £10,000 investment to buy some much-needed additional cold storage and expanding our team so that we can bring Cinderhill Farm's products to more people in our community and beyond."
