Here they reveal some lesser-known facts about sausage rolls that might surprise you.
Wrights Sausage Roll Fact File
1. Sausage Rolls have been around for longer than you think
Sausage rolls date back to ancient times – the Greeks and Romans used pastry to wrap meat. The modern sausage roll, though, emerged in France in the 1800s before becoming a British staple.
2. Wrights has been making hot pies & sausage rolls for almost a century.
Founded in 1926 by John James Wright in Stoke-on-Trent, the company began by making pies in a terraced house kitchen. [That’s about 13 years older than Greggs.] Today, Wrights makes a huge variety of sweet and savoury pastries in 2 state-of-the-art bakeries in Crewe, alongside its 22 bakery stores nationwide.
3. Today, Wrights proudly makes over 4m sausage rolls a year.
That’s enough to line the road from its home in Crewe to Paris ten times!
4. Don’t underestimate the importance of good pastry
A great sausage roll must have great pastry. Crisp, golden, flaky pastry that’s been made to a time-honoured recipe – Wrights promises ‘pastry like you’ve never tasted before’.
5. They’re a hit down under
If you thought it was just Brits that love a sausage roll, think again. Australia loves sausage rolls just as much as the UK.
6. Sausage Rolls have even been to space
In 2016, a YouTuber attached a sausage roll to a weather balloon and launched it 35,000 meters into the sky — technically sending it into near space.
To get your free hot sausage roll, all you have to do is download the Wrights Wallet App and show it to the servers at your local Wrights Bakery store at your local MFG Service Station.
