About Sauce Shop

Sauce Shop exists to make food more flavoursome. We’ve been cooking great tasting sauces since 2014, but what started in a home kitchen is now a multi-million-pound turnover start-up and one of the top 5 fastest growing food and beverage brands in the UK (5th in the Alantra Food and Beverage Fast 50). Uncompromising in our approach, we never use artificial ingredients and our team cook every batch of sauce from our HQ in Nottingham. We’re independent and unwavering in our belief that the nation’s food deserves better sauce. Bored of the mainstream, we came up with an alternative, choosing high quality ingredients to create flavour packed sauces that do food justice. Punchy flavours, crafted with expertise. Our sauces are made as you would at home, using nothing artificial. Sauce Shop products are award winning and can be found on our website and on the shelves of Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Asda and Booths. We also stock hundreds of independent retailers and are on the tables of restaurants including BrewDog and Patty & Bun.
