About the producer:

Simon Ellery, a New Zealander who became a Berliner, is the man behind The Sausage Man Never Sleeps. Starting with his apprenticeship in a butchery in Ashburton on the South Island at the age of 16, Simon built his career in export meat production and food safety before the travel bug bit. After landing in the UK, Simon rediscovered his passion for butchery while working at Lidgate's of Holland Park. A chance meeting brought Simon to Berlin, where he worked for two years at Bünger Fleischerei before becoming a German certified master butcher.

With a second-hand meat grinder he found at the flea market in Mauerpark, Simon started making fresh sausages for friends that had decidedly non-traditional flavours. In April 2014 he started selling these goods and the official journey of The Sausage Man, Simon's muse and our charming mascot, began.

So who is this Sausage Man who never sleeps? Inspired by a butcher he met during his time in London who worked long hours, Simon wrote a song called 'The Sausage Man Never Sleeps' with his band, and so The Sausage Man was born…

We proudly make our sausages and other pork products from 100% antibiotic- and GMO-free whole German pork belly (and occasionally beef and lamb) from the Bäuerliche Erzeugergemeinschaft Schwäbisch Hall. We never use unnecessary additives or fillers. Every product that bears our name is made by us in Berlin. That old joke about how you don't want to see how the sausage is made doesn't apply to our goods. We are transparent in our production and proud of every ingredient we use.
