When passing over on luxuries, bread is the kitchen’s greatest improviser. It carries jams like the perfect host, cheese like a pack mule, and sandwiches like a diplomat holding fragile talks between distinguished fillings. Bap, Batch, Bun, Cob, Stottie, Roll ? Enjoy this and more.
Bread is the kitchen’s greatest improviser, the understudy that always knows the lines. It shows up humbly, never demanding applause, yet somehow ends up starring in breakfast, rescuing lunch, and saving dinner from despair.
Burn the stew? Bread will sop it. Over-season the curry? Bread will forgive it. Have no plans at all? Toast it, and suddenly you have a plan.
It is endlessly adaptable. It can be crisp or soft, sweet or savoury, rustic or refined. No other food so gracefully accepts being torn, sliced, dunked, stacked, buttered, or forgotten for days only to return triumphantly as … a bread & butter pudding.
In truth, bread is less an ingredient and more a quiet agreement, a promise that no matter how gruelling your fast, or how chaotic your kitchen, there will always be something reliable to hold everything together.
Even dippy eggy soldiers can be lifted to make a meal of the occasion – or turn the occasion into a meal.
These brave we lads (and lasses) have been spread with butter, topped with sliced red onion, and dotted with Stokes Chilli Jam, slicing, and assigned to their duties.
Dunk away !
From soldiers to royalty, Coronation Chicken made just by coating cooked chuck in our fulfilling Coronation Sauce, then served in a Bap, Batch, Bun, Cob, Stottie, or Roll!!!
Add a little magic
Let me clarify – you don’t have to ‘do the magic’, we have already done that for you. Each little Jar of Joy, or Bottle of Beauty contains Stokes Magic.
Our passion, our love, our absolute refusal to compromise on the quality of the natural ingredients we use. That’s magic.
You provide the bread of choice and inspired fillings – and let ‘Stokes’ and nature take its yummy course.
Let’s take you on a journey to Spain.
A slice of Rye, ciabatta boat, baguette wedge, toasted sourdough – all wonderful bases for creative Tapas.
DID YOU KNOW?
‘Tapas’ actually means – to cover – and now translates culturally as small plates of food, light bites. The origins lie in Spanish bars, whose guests asked for ‘small plates’ to cover their glasses (to keep the flies off).
Now, each tapas bar competes with its neighbour to serve the most creative, delicious morsel.
More of a fulfilling repast than delicate culinary statement – do what you want with it, fill it to bursting … but make it taste amazing with that magical dollop of Stokes.
It doesn’t have to be pretty…
A great pairing for Goat’s Cheese is our Fig Relish. It is sweet fig with a slight tartness comes from it brimming with dried figs (60%) and the skillful addition of cider vinegar and molasses.
This offsets the grilled cheese and sits well together on toast – here with a sweet garnish of red peppers and light olive oil. Go extra cheffy with a sprinkling of Nigella Seeds.
…but it does have to be delicious! 
We only do delicious.
As promised, chef Andy’s B&B Pudding:
Bread ‘n’ Butter Pudding
Who wouldn’t want to hug whoever put this on the table. It’s a classic, but Andy’s recipe lifts it yummability factor up a few notches on the ‘wow‘ scale.
Enjoy the RECIPE – HERE.
If your answer to ‘Bread and …?’ is our top scoring ‘Jam‘, then this is for you.
Our Jamalades.
Strawberry EXTRA Jam
A rich and fruity soft set Strawberry Extra Jam, crammed with strawberries (50% fruit) giving this jam its full flavour and lush colour. With hints of Wimbledon, this is made to a classic English recipe, with extra ‘love all’.
With over 50% fruit, this Blackcurrant Extra Jam is laden with real blackcurrants making it full of fresh fruit flavour and with a rich texture to savour.
Packed with plump blackcurrants.
The Great Taste Award judges commented “A very flavourful blackcurrant jam, intensely fruity with extremely well-judged sugar content, lasting flavour and a very good texture. This has obviously been made with skill and care.”
Made with the sweetest raspberries for an intense flavour. Masses of sweet raspberries fill the jar with flavour and jam tarts with joy.Seville Orange Marmalade
A classic fine cut Seville Orange Marmalade made to a traditional English recipe and rich in fruity Seville Oranges.
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED:
We actually refer to this as ‘No7 Fine Cut’, because this recipe was our 7th attempt to deliver the tastes and texture of this marmalade to do it the justice it deserves.
The Great British Sausage is equally at home breaking your fast in a full English fry up; a lovingly restored Bangers ‘n’ Mash; or fulfilling a midnight raid on the fridge.
Grilled, fried, baked, air-fried, sandwiched (is that a word?), or skewered – it’s basically the Swiss Army Knife of the dinner plate … with more sizzle!
Simply Sausage
Simple, boiled potatoes and tenderstem broccoli sit so well with the rich seasoning of the sausage meat. No fuss, no gravy, no need.
But, a dollop of something delicious on the side works wonders.
Have you tried adding our Fig Relish – packed with figs steeped with cider vinegar and molasses – it really works.
TIP: If you are a sausage lover, but insist on gravy every time, adding two or three dollops of Fig Relish to the simmering gravy truly makes a delicious difference.
Farm Shop Tray Bake.
Visit your nearest Farm Shop, buy a selection of root vegetables, amazing sausages, and a jar of Stokes Cider & Horseradish Mustard.
Roast the veg on a tray at 180c, with a drizzle of oil for 20 minutes; add the sausages with mustard coating for 30 minutes more.
The fiery little yellow and black mustard seeds pop deliciously, ahead of its gentle horseradish finish.
Like your Dog to bite back – like it HOT?
With a few fried onions and drizzle of out Habanero HOT Sauce – WOW! Now, that’s a Hoy Dog!
Our Habanero HOT Sauce is our hottest sauce yet. Made with fiery, fermented Habanero chillies, it delivers a rich, intense depth with an inspired fruity finish.
A proud Great Taste Award winner, this exceptional sauce impressed the judges, who noted:
“A hot sauce with a delicious aroma: deep vinegar notes and fruit melange that promises much – the sweetness is delightfully perched with tangy fruitiness.”
Hearty Sausage Casserole
This is such a simple dish, adding all the ingredients to the pot as directed. Sit around the table or relax and eat it in a bowl with a thick slice of buttered bread. A beer would go down well with it.
See and enjoy the RECIPE – HERE.
Wholegrain Cider & Horseradish Mustard
Resident Chef, Andy uses the complexities of our wholegrain mustard in many ways – HERE in a recipe for Roast Chicken & French-Style Peas. The chicken is so moist and the peas absolutely delicious.
Our Dijon Mustard has a deceptive strength – a gentle giant of flavour. Try this White Bean, Mushroom & Pancetta Strudel. Another fabulous forkful from Andy – RECIPE HERE.
Classic English Mustard
Ours is a twist on the classics you might know.
We have removed that steamy-hot kick that dominates an otherwise very fine cut of beef, and replaced it with a warming intensity of natural mustard combinations that complement the food on your fork.
