Ledbury butcher Dave Waller picked up a clutch of prizes at the British Meat Four Counties Product Evaluation.

He came away from the event on Wednesday with three diamond awards for his traditional pork sausage, his pork and cheese sausage and his pork pie, plus seven gold and three silver awards.

Mr Waller was the supreme champion last year. Other awards went to Teme Vale Victuallers, selling through Malvern Country Meals, and Pauline Phipps, of Phipps Butchers, Hanley Swan.
