Based in Leicester, our business specialises in the manufacturing of Premium Sliced Cooked Meats and Sausages as well as being the largest producer of Pate in the UK.

In 1824 a small butchery business called Walkers & Son began operating in Leicester. At Walkers Deli and Sausage Co we are can trace our heritage back to the original shop the business opened nearly two centuries ago.

At Walkers Deli and Sausage Co we are constantly striving for ways to improve.  This passion for innovation is evident in all that we do. Every team member across our business is focused on product and process improvement.

In 2017 we launched well over 100 new recipes for our customers. To develop these unique products we draw upon the experience of our skilled workforce as well as seeking inspiration from the wider market and our trusted supply base.

Our customers come to us because we can support their agenda to offer fantastic products and consumer service. Putting shoppers at the heart of what we do is a fundamental part of how we work every single day.
