A local farm shop has scooped four gold awards at a regional competition.

Uncle Henry's Farm Shop, near Kirton in Lindsey, won the awards at the BPEX regional Roadshow in Harrogate.

Uncle Henry's picked up gold awards for its Lincolnshire sausage, Huda's Argy Bargy (a spicy pork sausage made with spiced paste), the Bretton Banger (a Lincolnshire sausage with black pudding) and the Black Bacon (bacon cured using black treacle).

Barry and Louise Jarvis, owners of Uncle Henry's, entered the Yorkshire competition, which recognises meat product excellence, to test their goods against some of region's finest producers.

Louise said: "One of the judges said this year has been the highest standard of entry he has seen and judging was very difficult.

"We are absolutely delighted to win and fly the flag for Lincolnshire producers."

More than 50 retailers from the region entered the competition, producing 299 entries. The products are evaluated by a team of industry experts and points are given for a range of attributes, among which are appearance, consistency, texture, taste and smell.

Barry Jarvis, the butcher at Uncle Henry's who created Huda's Argy Bargy, said the dish came about following a collaboration with Maf Huda, who runs Surma Secret Spices on Frodingham Road.
