A spicy table sauce created by Baron Robert Pouget in 2000 to celebrate the millennium. It bears virtually no resemblance to the traditional derivative of Cumberland Sauce, sometimes referred to as “Oxford Sauce”.
This is a terrific sauce, the recipe came more or less by accident when the decimal point on the chilli content was mis-read at the time of conception. It is therefore pretty hot and those who have tried it either adore it or hate it.
Presumably you love it, or you wouldn’t be reading this.
Fathers day!

And an email we received recently from somebody who knows what he’s talking about when it comes to quality table sauces…….
“As the former production manager of HP sauce I speak with some experience.
Recently in the Oxford area and found this sauce in a deli.
Fantastic. Well done, superb product. Don’t know why in 12 years there I never found this as a comparison taste test
YOU HAVE MY VOTE ON WHAT A POTENT BROWN SAUCE SHOULD TASTE LIKE!!
