Chickie’s Luxury Scotch Eggs

How it started

I have many years experience of producing interesting and tasty food. I worked for many years running the catering in the shooting industry. Planning and preparing meals for some of the most discerning clientele, including many celebrities, business leaders and influential people.

Chickie’s scotch eggs were born out of my own disappointment at the offerings available for what is a classic and traditional snack food. Enjoyed by people everywhere, they have never seemed to deliver. The experience never lived up to the anticipation of what is presented.

Now you can enjoy the real satisfaction of this wonderful little package. Finally, the joy of eating a scotch egg really does live up to the expectation.

Like many small food businesses it began in the tiny kitchen of our cottage on exmoor. Having made a few scotch eggs for an event at our local pub the idea of creating a variety of flavours, just as you would with sausages, became a reality.

I made a small batch to try at the local market in the harbour town of Watchet. They were an instant success selling all I had produced from the inside of my £40 Asda gazebo!

From there I started to attend more local farmers markets and shows, on a very small scale at first.

In the meantime I had a choice to make.

Having previously run a huge catering kitchen with 5 restaurants and a 2m food budget! I was offered a opportunity At Hinckley C to work in the kitchens there. I turned it down, I just wanted to see where this little idea could take me and the journey to grow had begun. From then on I got to more and more events and this led to the opportunity to sell my eggs at Clarks village in street. This was a turning point. With a great footfall Chickies soon became a fixture there.

So much so that I needed to be there more often with more stock.( I’m not going to mention lockdown ,we all know what happened then)

Our Chicken coop was built by a very good old friend of mine and is now a permanent feature ,often admired within the village.

In the background production was increasing and we had moved out of our tiny kitchen,much to the delight of my long suffering wife! And into the first unit in Bridgwater. I took on some help and spent every penny I took on improving equipment and processes.
The events went from small local farmers markets to nationwide. In locations like Hampton court palace,Blenheim palace and Beaulieu.

Soon our lovely little unit in Bridgwater wasn’t big enough to cope so in early 2023 we moved to a brand new unit double in size at Highbridge. A huge thank you to my landlord for his help in the early days of the move,allowing me access to make the place food safe.

From here the future is set as we expand into retail at some quality farm shops and retailers around the region. All quite a change..

However one thing that hasn’t and will never change is the determination to produce the very best product possible,without compromise, we work with the same quality butcher who helped me find the right cuts of pork for the taste I wanted. Our egg supplier is obsessed, as I am, on making sure the eggs are finest possible and my small team share my determination to maintain the quality and consistency of Chickies Scotch eggs. Worthy of its Luxury status.

Thank you all for your support, enjoy our product with confidence and be assured we will always strive for the best product we can possibly produce.

Testimonials

Best scotch eggs ever!! We had 3 on Friday at Clark’s Village! They really are so so tasty! I’m not even that keen on scotch eggs but these are in a different league from supermarket ones!

We had the wild mushroom and garlic, onion and red pepper and Stilton and apple! I’m now trying to think up lots of reasons to visit Clark’s again, just so I can get more scotch eggs😜😜, even if it is an hour trip each way!! X🐣🐣🥚🥚

Andrea Brown

Both the Traditional Pork and the Sweet Chilli & Garlic were absolutely wonderful. A lovely soft egg in such a delicious case - 5 Stars!!

Claire Bistrow Clark

The best scotch eggs money can buy! Try one hot with chips for an experience you’ll be coming back for time and time again! Highly recommended!

Gabriel Christos Moon

Had three different ones for breakfast this morning from the Barnstaple food market. The mark of a good scotch egg is the the soft egg yolk and these hit the spot. The meat surround was perfect.

Don’t know why anyone would buy from a supermarket when these are out there to buy.
