We celebrate National Fish & Chip Day on 7th June, in the week we remember the 75th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings.

Well, it's an interesting fact that, after landing, British soldiers identified each other by calling out "FISH", hoping for the friendly reply "CHIPS" ... such is the association of we Brits have with the foremost 'take away' meal - Fish 'n' Chips.

A statistic from the Federation of British Fryers is that this country consumes a massive 382 million portions of Fish & Chips a year. Chips were first married to battered fish as long ago as 1860.

Between the Wars there were 36,000 Fish & Chip Shops in the UK, which has dropped now to some 10,400 registered today.

What to you have with yours... ?

Stokes Real Mayonnaise (now squeezable) is really very special. We use only whole eggs from British free range Welfare Assured hens, into which very fine British rapeseed oil is drizzled to create the product's core. Then, to make this real mayonnaise stand out from the rest, extra virgin Cretan Koroneiki olive oil is added too.

Stokes Tomato Ketchup (now squeezable) is our award-winning ketchup packed with plump, sweet tomatoes that have ripened on the slopes in southern Italy.

We gently simmer 200g of these beautiful tomatoes for every 100g of ketchup.

Stokes Brown Sauce (now squeezable) is a truly grown up brown sauce. You can smell the exquisite difference the moment you open the lid.

It is a lush sauce, rich with extra date puree, sweet with black treacle and heady with a unique blend of Persian spices.

Stokes Tartare Sauce is a wonderful collection of chunky gherkins and capers in a creamy mayonnaise offering round, creamy flavours - tartare without the tart - your fish will thank you, always.
