Hawkshead Relish

A Taste of the Lake District: Discover Hawkshead Relish

There is a very specific, deeply satisfying pop that comes from opening a jar of something truly special. It’s usually followed by a rich, heady aroma that instantly fills the kitchen—the smell of simmering spices, roasted garlic, or bubbling citrus. If your mouth is already watering, you are going to fall in love with Hawkshead Relish absolutely.

Nestled in the heart of the Cumbrian Lake District, this beloved artisan brand has been quietly transforming the British pantry for over twenty years. Instead of factory conveyor belts, picture traditional open copper pans bubbling away in small batches. No artificial flavourings, no hidden preservatives—just exceptional, honest ingredients crafted by people who really, really care about good food.

Whether you consider yourself a weekend gourmet or someone who simply appreciates a bloody good bacon butty, our curated Hawkshead Relish collection is here to make your everyday meals feel like an occasion.

Ketchups, But Not As You Know Them

Let’s be honest: standard tomato ketchup is fine, but sometimes Friday night chips deserve a bit of a promotion. Hawkshead is famous for completely reinventing classic table sauces.

The crown jewel? Their award-winning Black Garlic Ketchup. It’s glossy, intensely savoury, and packed with a deep, balsamic-like umami flavour that turns a simple burger or a roast chicken dinner into a culinary event. If you prefer a bit of a kick, the Kimchi Ketchup and Sriracha Ketchup offer that brilliant, tangy heat that pairs flawlessly with everything from scrambled eggs to crispy noodles.

Slow Cooked Comfort & Sticky Marinades

We all know the sheer joy of walking through the front door after a long, rainy commute to the smell of a ready-to-eat dinner. Hawkshead’s slow cooker sauces are basically a warm hug in a jar.

Pour the Bloody Mary Slow Cooker Sauce over a brisket or chicken thighs before work, and let the rich tomatoes, celery salt, and gentle vodka notes do the heavy lifting. Or, if you’re firing up the grill or roasting some veggies, the Sticky Chilli Marinade delivers that incredibly satisfying, sticky-sweet glaze with just the right amount of fiery warmth.

Elevating Breakfasts and Cheese Boards

Weekends were made for proper breakfasts. Imagine a thick slice of toasted sourdough, the butter just melting into the crannies, topped generously with Hawkshead’s classic Seville Orange Marmalade. For an indulgent Sunday twist, the Orange & Whisky Marmalade adds a gorgeous, warming depth that feels wonderfully grown-up.

And we couldn't possibly forget afternoon tea. The Sour Cherry and Prosecco Jam is a fruity, sparkling celebration in a jar—an absolute must-have for scones and clotted cream. (You’ll find even more morning inspiration in our Jams & Honey aisle).

Finally, for the cheese lovers, no Servingware platter is complete without a dollop of the rich, earthy Sun Dried Tomato & Garlic Chutney. It is the ultimate companion to a sharp, mature Cheddar or a creamy Brie.
