This is probably one of THE tastiest issues of your Food Lovers Newsletter we’ve published yet. It simply oozes naturally exciting flavours; shares unctuous umami; dollops freshness in your burgers; with shakes of thick real ketchup on the side. Your taste buds … prepare for them to POP !
There’s something wonderfully British about the humble relish jar.
We may politely queue for buses and apologise when someone else steps on our foot … but, place a cheeseboard, pork pie or sausage sandwich in front of us and suddenly we become fiercely passionate about chutneys, relishes and the perfect spoonful of something gloriously tangy and crunchy on the side.
Perhaps it’s because we know that a good relish, like this Fig Relish, can rescue an ordinary lunch from mediocrity.
A proper chutney can transform cheddar into an occasion. And when it comes to elevating the everyday, few do it better than us, Stokes Sauces, masters of crafting richly flavoured relishes and chutneys using ingredients so fine you can practically taste the care in every jar. No compromise!
Elevate your burgers with Stokes Burger Relish – a rich, slightly sweet blend of red pepper, tomato, and onion, with a subtle hint of chilli.
A splash is all it takes to turn the ordinary into the EXTRAordinary!
Chilli Jam is one of the most popular offerings in our Relish & Chutneys section.

And there’s so much more:
From sweet, caramelised onions to bold tomato relishes bursting with character, these are not the sad, forgotten condiments lurking at the back of the fridge.
These are the stars of the picnic hamper, the quiet heroes of the ploughman’s lunch, and the reason guests mysteriously linger near the kitchen table asking, “Now then… where did you get this?”
Award winning Real Tomato Ketchup – The star of the Stokes range!

One of the beautifully flavoured variations on our Tommy K, is Chipotle Ketchup.

Whether you like your sandwiches in soft, white folds of bread with the crusts neatly trimmed; or big brave bountiful feasts – sandwiches are a celebration of culinary creativity.
The British sandwich is both comfort food and cultural artefact.
Eaten at railway stations, packed into school lunchboxes, grabbed in supermarket meal deals and debated with surprising seriousness in office kitchens across the land, Britain has a love affair with sandwiches comes with history attached.
Legend has it that the 4th Earl of Sandwich requested meat tucked between slices of bread so he could continue gambling without pausing for dinner, inadvertently giving the world its most portable meal.
It can be anything you fancy wrapped in whatever you like. This Smoked Salmon Brunch Bagel (recipe – HERE), glows with Sicilian sunshine with our Sicilian Lemon Mayonnaise.
British Sandwich Week is more than a celebration of lunch on the go.
It’s a tribute to our national talent for putting almost anything between two slices of bread and calling it a meal.
Whether your loyalty lies with a classic ploughman’s, a prawn mayo, a chip butty or the ever-divisive Coronation Chicken, one thing is certain, in Britain, sandwiches are never just sandwiches.
British Sandwich Week 2026 runs from 18th May 24th May, celebrating the UK’s massive £8bn sandwich industry and the iconic lunchtime staple.
The UK consumes around 11.5 billion sandwiches annually, and we’re seeing growth in more creative gourmet, artisanal options.
