Three Cheers Ma'am

 

A service at Westminster Abbey will celebrate Commonwealth Day on Monday 14 March.

As this is Her Majesty’s 70th Jubilee Year, there will be a special focus on the role that her extraordinary service plays and has played, in the lives of people and communities across the Commonwealth.

Our own little celebration looks at three iconic products, originating in the UK and now popular across the Commonwealth and the world.

Coronation, Piccalilli & Brown Sauce

 

Coronation Sauce

The original recipe was created for The Queen’s Coronation Banquet in 1953 by student Angela Wood and is as royally tasty today.

Piccalilli

A unique British pickle dating back to mid 18thC using mid-Asian spices to make ‘Paco-Lilla’, or ‘India Pickle’, perfectly pairing pork pies.

Brown Sauce

Known as ‘the English sauce‘ in the States, our very special, very British, very ‘grownup’ Brown Sauce is made better with lots of date purée and Persian spices.

Marvellous Mustards

 

We have three wonderful mustards, each with their own distinctive qualities.

Our Cider & Horseradish Mustard is made with cider vinegar, British dry cider, horseradish and a blend of flavour-popping yellow & black mustard seeds.

For a smooth, strong mustard (but without the ‘burn’), go for our twist on Classic English Mustard. And our branded Dijon Mustard from Burgundy is an absolute French classic.

 

You will find our ‘Magnificent Mustards‘ amongst our other Traditional Sauces – HERE.

On it, with it, in it.

 

Cider & Horseradish Mustard

Stokes condiments can be used in so many ways to make food better. Mixed with a little cream, the bursts of seed-popping wholegrain flavour lead a lingering horseradish finish, makes a truly tasty sauce to pour over a juicy steak.

 Classic English Mustard

Simply spooned onto the side of the plate with a delicious roast, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy.

Classic English Mustard makes a classic Sunday Roast.

Dijon Mustard

For a weekend brunch, a Croque Madame is a delightful thing. So French, so Dijon, so tasty. Our Resident Chef, Andy has his own take on the recipeHERE.

So enjoy !

Something Lighter for Lunch

 

Caesar Salad

We’re not going to tell you how to make a Caesar Salad, but we are going to recommend our Creamy Caesar Dressing, made with free-range eggs, parmesan cheese and garlic. Yum.

Potato Salad
