Heat in the oven until it gets hot and the oil starts to smoke. Remove from the oven. Quarter each sausage and spread out into the roasting tin. Place the cherry tomatoes between the sausages. Place the roasting tin into the hot oven for five minutes then remove and pour on the toad in the hole batter mixture. Return the roasting tin to the hot oven and cook the toad in the hole for at least 15 minutes. Small individual portions will cook quicker so the large roasting tin may take some time. The batter mixture should have risen and be crispy to indicate that the toad in the hole is cooked and ready to serve and eat.
