HP Sauce is the UK’s number one brown sauce, owned by Kraft Heinz and adding oomph to British dishes since 1903. The original recipe was invented in 1899 by Nottingham grocer Frederick Gibson Garton, who sold it for just £150 to settle a debt with Edwin Samson Moore, founder of the Midlands Vinegar Company. Named HP after the Houses of Parliament visible in London on its iconic bottle label, HP Sauce products are consistent eBay UK and Amazon UK bestsellers with exceptionally strong British breakfast and condiment repeat purchase demand.
