Residents and staff at a care home in Chipping Norton had a "fantastic time" celebrating National Sausage Roll Day earlier this week.

The celebration took place at Southerndown Care Home on June 5.

Led by head chef Andrei, a variety of fillings and flavour combinations were created including traditional meat fillings, plant-based alternatives, different pastry flavours and some sweet versions.

General manager Arlene said: "It wasn't just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a Sausage Roll Day, the eyes of the staff lit up too.

"Who doesn't love a sausage roll? They really are the ultimate comfort food.

"We have all had a great time trying out new recipes and different flavours and ingredients, we'll be applying for Bake Off next."

One resident said: "I absolutely love sausage rolls. There is just something so satisfying about them.

"We have had lots of different flavours to try, I never thought I’d say this but I really liked the veggie ones. It has all been truly delicious."
