About Hendersons Relish
Henderson's Relish, affectionately known as "Hendo's", is Sheffield's iconic condiment sauce with a cult following that has grown over more than 130 years. First created by Henry Henderson in 1885 at his home on Green Lane, this family-secret recipe has become so central to Sheffield identity that it inspires clothing, flavoured crisps, and commemorative football bottles. Unlike many Worcestershire-style sauces, Henderson's Relish contains no anchovies, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The distinctive tangy flavour comes from a base of spirit vinegar and acetic acid, enhanced with garlic, tamarind and cayenne pepper, coloured with caramel and sweetened with sugar and saccharin. The secret recipe is known to only three family members. The iconic orange labels with black lettering were established by 1925 when Shaw's ordered one million bottle labels. Production exceeded one million bottles annually by 1951, and the brand moved to Sheffield Parkway Business Park in 2013 after decades at its Leavygreave Road factory. Celebrity fans include Sheffield-born guitarist Richard Hawley, who launched his solo album with a free gig at the factory. Grocefully helps UK shoppers compare Henderson's Relish prices across supermarkets including Tesco.
