HP, the UK’s no. 1 brown sauce, has been adding oomph to your favourite dishes since 1903. The original recipe was invented and developed in 1899 by Frederick Gibson Garton, a grocer from Nottingham. Garton sold the recipe for the sum of £150 to settle a debt with Edwin Samson Moore, the founder of the Midlands Vinegar Company, who launched what we know and love today as HP Sauce. As the popularity of HP has grown, so has the range; the first newcomer was HP Fruity back in 1969. A little bit milder than the traditional HP Sauce, the subtly blended fruits and spices give a bit more tang – so are perfect on all your HP favourites.
