Owtons Butchers, who supply the farm shop at Garsons Garden Centre in Titchfield, Hampshire, are sharpening their knives ahead of competing in a national barbecue competition.

Their trademark Oozing Lamb fillet fired them to victory in the Specialist Barbeque Product category.

Now the award-winning fillet will be put to the test nationally to compete against other leading butchers' around the country.

Almost 300 products are being showcased there, with the finest producer overall crowned the nation's supreme champion.

General manager John Harding said: “The Oozing Lamb Fillet always goes down very well.

“The fillet is beaten out, covered with mozzarella, sage and spinach and rolled up like a roulade and cooked on a barbecue.

“It's the high end choice for people who don't just want burgers and sausages."

Q Guild 2015 National Barbecue Competition takes place on Sunday, May 31, in The Windmill Village Hotel in Coventry.

The shop won five gold awards at the regional contest for their pork sausage, sirloin steak, beef burger, duck and hoisin sausage and its wild boar, cranberry, spring onion and rosemary burger.

Mr Harding added: “We won gold awards for every product we entered so we're very pleased. It was a good result.”
