Henderson's Relish

A favourite among Sheffield folk alike and superior to Worcestershire sauce. Henderson's Relish is 'The spicy Yorkshire sauce' invented in 1885 by Henry Henderson and is made to a secret recipe that's still kept under lock and key and is still produced in Sheffield to this day.

"LIKE WORCESTER SAUCE, BUT ONE MILLION TIMES BETTER"
Matt Helders, Arctic Monkeys

THE SPICY TABLE SAUCE MADE IN SHEFFIELD SINCE 1885
Splash it on pies, in stews, over chips, cheese on toast and more. Henderson’s Relish is approved by the Vegetarian Society as suitable for vegans, and is gluten free.
