Following hard on the heels of the Scotch Egg Challenge comes another bar snack competition - this year's Great Sausage Roll Off. The annual event is now in its fourth year and take place at The Red Lion in Barnes.

Hot Dinners managed to inveigle them to give us the shortlist of those entering their finest rolls in this year's contest. Both 2015 and 2014's champions are back to defend/claim back their title, so it sounds like it'll be one hell of a contest.

This year’s judging panel includes Emma Spitzer [Masterchef 2015 Finalist], Thane Prince [Eat Judge on The Big Allotment Challenge], Tom Kemble [Head Chef, Bonhams Restaurant] and Kate Spicer [food critic]. It'll take place next week, hosted by award-winning beer and food writer Melissa Cole.
