Stephens Bakery can be very proud to take home a prize in such a competitive field of brilliant products.” The Scottish Baker of the Year Competition, now in its 8th year, recognises Scotland’s best pies, scones, loaves, savoury items, morning rolls, cakes and biscuits. We’re very proud to be a part of the communities we serve. We’ve been doing this for a long time, and although we make an awful lot more rolls, bridies and sausage rolls than we did in 1873, we’re still very much a local bakery at heart. Our customers may pop in for a bite, but they’ll stay for a blether and a laugh.

Family-run and founded in 1873, Stephens is a commercial bakery to rival the big chains in local popularity across the Fife region. Based in Dunfermline, they have 14 retail outlets and nearly 150 concessions in larger stores, selling a range of sausage rolls, cakes, filled rolls and pies. Despite their size, however, Stephens is proud of its local connections (all their flour is milled in Kirkcaldy), their strong environmental credentials and the craftsmanship of their team of bakers.

Stephen's Sausage Roll is a 2016 puzzle video game developed and published by Increpare Games, the studio of designer Stephen Lavelle. The player controls a character who pushes sausage links to grilling locations on a grid.
Gameplay[edit]
The title refers to the game's objective of physically moving sausages. In a series of Sokoban-style puzzles,[1][2] the player controls a character who pushes sausage links to grilling locations on a grid. The objective is to grill each sausage in four places (two spots on each 'side' of the sausage), but if the sausage is grilled twice in the same spot, or if the sausage falls over the edge of the level, the player fails and must rewind their progress. The player-character is a low-detail figure who holds a fork, which occupies a second space on the grid. The character can move in cardinal directions and many puzzles involve rotating the fork about the player.[3]
To reach the puzzles, the player navigates an overworld on an island and aligns the character and fork with a ghost image of the character, and the surrounding land drops into the ocean to reveal the puzzle.[3]
