Not a dish I’ve seen that often in London pubs tbh. Sausage and mash is miles more popular. Let me know if you find a good one.

It’s also incredibly easy to make yourself with far better sausages than you usually find in a pub.

You say incredibly easy to make.

However I always find it very difficult to get consistent results.

Either it rises nicely but the inside is all stodgy and soggy, or I end up with a really lovely crispy base and insides but it does not rise.

Mmm, strange. I’ve always found I get great results and have always used the same method.

Make batter with a drop of ale and mustard and leave to rest and come up to room temperature
Brown sausages all over
Heat up beef dripping in the roasting tin until spitting, pop tin on medium flame and pour in some of the fat left in the sausage pan

Pour in the batter, should sizzle, add sausages and let cook in the oven until batters all nicely risen

Works every time for me.
