After placing my first order afew years ago I now won’t buy rubs and sauces from anywhere else! Orders always arrive quickly and well packaged but more importantly the flavours of all the products I’ve tried are the best around and the quality of the products are great. Also both the rubs and sauces are really versatile and can be used for adding that extra special flavour to everyday cooking and not just BBQs!
The best rubs and sauces in the country. Such a wide variety of flavours, all expertly blended. I keep coming back for more. Also lots of great recipe ideas and inspirations. Howard is a flavour maestro and a national treasure
Have used these rubs and sauces for a number of years now. The variety of flavours is unique and a refreshing change from the usual offerings.
Delivery is always super quick and their website has really great recipe ideas.
My go to brand for food rubs. Use them extensively in indoor and outdoor cooking. Particularly fond of their tandoori, Texas ranch and greek gyros. Their salt and sugar levels are also better than most of their competitors. Recently purchased some of their Rum too, which is very very nice. The service is always fantastic, quick to ship and well packaged. I like that it's a small UK based business.
Quite possibly the best rubs and sauces available in the UK.
Incredible quality, and ridiculously good customer service.
I had a slight mix up in my order ( totally my fault) and Howard personally contacted me to put it right.
My goto place for bbq rubs and sauces
