What the Press say
Read comments and excerpts from coverage of James Alexander Fine Foods and our sister company, The Cumbrian Sausage.
"The Cumbrian Sausage Co. claims to be the last Cumbrian sausage-maker knocking out genuine Cumberland rings. Their bangers are succulent and herby."
The Independent, "The Ten Best Sausages" - Jan 08
"I have just been to Elizabeth King in New King's Road to buy some more of your sausages, and it looks as though they aren't stocking them any more. This is a great disappointment, as your sausages are the best sausages I have eaten since the sausages sold by Musks in Newmarket High Street in the 1970s (I have had Musks sausages from time to time in more recent years, but they aren't as good)."
Customer Comment - Dec 06
"The Cumbrian Sausage is an inspired idea, bringing together all the best of Cumbrian food. You can choose from Richard Woodall's fantastic sausages and bacon, first class longhorn beef from Croft Farm Organics and superb goats' cheese from Thornby Moor Dairy. And that's just for starters."
The Mail on Sunday, Tom Parker-Bowles - Mar 06
"A pair of entreprenurial friends has set up a business bringing local Cumbrian food to London. After moving to the capital from Cumbria, Oliver Nohl-Oser and Thomas Sowler missed their regional delicacies so much they set up distribution company 'The Cumbrian Sausage' giving small-scale producers the chance to sell to the capital's delis."
FreeRange Magazine - Mar 06, Issue 5
"Two university friends have set up a company to provide top people's stores in London with classy food from Cumbria. They are planning to supply the county's finest foods to Harrods, Fortnum & Mason and Harvey Nichols, as well as smaller smart shops. The scheme is the brainchild of 23-year-olds Thomas Sowler and Oliver Nohl-Oser who met at Newcastle University. The pair aim to move into a business unit at Brougham Hall, Penrith, by the end of the month."
