You can’t come to South Shields and not try a saveloy dip.

What is a saveloy dip? 

It is a famous North East hot sandwich, that features a seasoned, boiled saveloy sausage, pease pudding, stuffing, and English mustard in a soft bread bun. The bun is traditionally then dipped into the cooking liquid before being wrapped up in paper for you to enjoy. 

Head to Dicksons on Fowler Street to try this culinary delicacy. Ask for a Saveloy Dip with ‘everything on and dipped’ or customise it to your preferences. You can even get a hot, single saveloy to eat, or buy a multipack of them to boil at home.
