Brown Sauce - a very British sauce

Culinary colonialism

The origins of this very British sauce date back to the mid 19th Century. In America they call it English or British sauce though they do have their own version - Steak Sauce.

Brown sauce is a gastronomic reflection of British Colonialism. On the one hand it was a necessary travelling companion to 'neutralise' the varying foods of foreign parts.

On the other and perhaps more romantically it was like a souvenir collection of flavours from across the globe including varying combinations of: tomatoes, molasses, dates, apples, tamarind, spices, vinegar, and sometimes raisins or anchovies.

Stokes Brown Sauce

Stokes Brown Sauce is one of the original three great works of the saucery that were the very foundation of Stokes.

Core travel essentials for 'cor blimey' goodness on the side of your plate.

Ours is a rich and spicy brown sauce with a deliciously fruity finish. It is rich in date purée (9%) and made with black treacle (8%) and our unique blend of spices.

It brings out the best in a bacon sandwich and great with sausages too!



It's more than a dollop on the side of your plate:

• Add it to a Bolognese sauce for a spicier depth of flavour.
• Shake a dash or two into a rich beef casserole.
• Thicken your onion gravy to pour on sausage and mash.
• Pop it on a bacon sandwich and crown it with a runny fried egg too.
• Brush over roast vegetables with a drizzle of honey for their last 10 minutes in the oven.
• Mix a spoonful or two into bubble & squeak. 

Casseroles are the family's central heating. Read here for some flavoursome ideas.
