The quest for great taste began
Rick Sheepshanks founded Stokes with quality Mayonnaise as his primary goal followed quickly by Tomato Ketchup - so good it was the only way he got his daughter to eat vegetables.

Great taste needs great ingredients
The product range started to grow and the quality refined by using the finest ingredients for home grown recipes and excellent, small-batch cooking techniques.
2008
Compassion goes beyond the love of food
Rick’s passion for quality matched his compassion, giving shelter to rescue animals. The menagerie at Rendlesham has grown to over 250 happy pigs, sheep, cattle, wallabies, emus & rheas, goats, ducks, cats, dogs, and lucky hens.
