Our History
-
1999
Our first bottle of sauce was produced in 1999 in a small kitchen in Blackburn. After much development, our original and classic 4 sauces were developed; Chilli, Garlic, Cheeky Chilli & Very Hot Chilli. Having a range of sauces ready to make, we opened a modest factory in Darwen at the turn of the millenium.
-
2007
Having grown our range of sauces to 9 flavours and many more in the pipeline, we needed a larger space to work in and moved into a 12,000sq/ft facility close to the home of the Rovers. We established a dedicated lab to speed up development of new sauces and products.
-
2008
Never quite happy with smooth sailing, we set out to manufacture our own plastic bottles to not only provide more flexibility but also to reduce our carbon footprint. We were now able to recycle much of our plastic bottle and paper waste in-house.
-
2013
Our range of flavours had now grown to 17 and it was starting to show. We were quickly running out of space again so we switched our focus for some time to our staff, machinery and work procedures.
-
2014
We now had over 20 different sauces and condiments to offer and needed more room to grow our range. We moved to our current 20,000sq/ft facility in Huncoat.
-
2016
We introduced our 500ml range of products along with switching to a better quality PET bottle and larger cap for easier squirting.

2018
You're all caught up! We've successfully settled into our new premises and now offer over 20 different tasty sauces and condiments along with our delicious marinades.
