Short profile:
It's been 75 years since my dad, Jim, and my Uncle Harry first opened a pork butchers farm shop in Ewell, Surrey and started selling their own sausages made from an old family recipe.
That's me with my Dad in the photo on our packs. I was already a dab hand at making sausages!
Today, Porky Whites is still an independent, family-run business. My daughter, Alix, has followed in my footsteps and Chris, our Managing Director, is very much an honorary 'White'.
As for our sausages, well, they're every bit as good as when dad used to make them. We've done a bit of tinkering and perfecting over the years, but the delicious, meaty, home-made taste still takes me back to when I was a child.
Detailed description:
It was 1935 when two brothers, Harry and Jim White, set up shop in Ewell, Surrey. The two lads were already successful pig farmers and, with a bit of help from their father, they were able to open a pork butchers farm shop selling their own produce.
Both the brothers shared a passion for sausages and set about making the best sausages money could buy. Using an old family recipe, honed by many an hour experimenting in the kitchen, they finally created the perfect sausage: one plain and simple, the other spicy.
With a solid reputation for quality, it wasn't long before the White brothers' sausages were available through high street butchers across Surrey – with generations of children growing up on the famous Surrey sausage.
By the early 1970s it was time for Harry and Jim to hang up their aprons and Jim's son, Graham, to take over. Born and bred on the family's sausages, there wasn't much Graham didn't know about sausages.
Graham was – and still is – every bit as passionate about producing quality sausages based on solid, traditional family values. He cares deeply about the heritage of the business and the legacy his dad and his uncle (with a bit of help from granddad) had created.
Over the next few decades, Graham took the humble family sausage from Surrey on an impressive journey. They were served on Concorde, to British Airway's First Class passengers and on Virgin Upper Class. They became a favourite amongst the well–heeled clientele of Fortnum & Mason and Harvey Nichols' food hall and were even served at the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla.
