From the Army to the Sausage Shed

Ed's Bangers started the way all the best food businesses do — with a bloke who couldn't stop thinking about sausages.

Jason Misters (yes, Ed is a character, but the passion is all Jason's) served in the British Army before trading his uniform for an apron. The name 'Ed's Bangers' came from that military background — 'Ed' being the phonetic alphabet for the letter E, as in Excellent.

Starting with a market stall in Portsmouth, Jason quickly turned heads with his unconventional flavour combinations: Jack Daniel's-infused pork, Japanese umami-spiced bangers, pistachio and truffle creations that would look at home in a Michelin-starred kitchen.

The awards followed naturally. UK Sausage Week finalist. Hampshire Sausage & Pie Competition medals. And then, three consecutive Great Taste stars — earning the prestigious Great Taste Producer status, awarded only to producers who achieve at least 3 stars within 5 years.

The brand now holds a registered trademark, a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating from Portsmouth City Council, and a growing range of award-winning sauces that can be shipped across the UK.

Ed's Bangers is also a regular at Victorious Festival and events across Hampshire — if you see the red and gold trailer, you know the queue will be worth it.
