Stokes Original Smokey BBQ Sauce 2kg

Catering Sized BBQ Sauce

A good barbecue sauce should strike the perfect balance between sweetness, smokiness and richness, and that's exactly what Stokes Original Smokey BBQ Sauce 2kg delivers. Thick, glossy and packed with flavour, it's made with honey, black treacle and cane molasses, creating a deep, rounded taste with a gentle smoky finish that complements rather than overwhelms.

Awarded a Great Taste Award, the judges praised its balanced flavour and rich character, describing it as a welcome alternative to many overly aggressive barbecue sauces. The result is a versatile sauce that works just as well as a table condiment as it does in cooking.

At i4C, we find ourselves reaching for this sauce throughout barbecue season. It's brilliant brushed over ribs, burgers and sausages, stirred into pulled pork, or used to create a classic Hunter's Chicken. The generous 2kg format is ideal for large summer gatherings, professional kitchens, and street food outlets.

Why do honey and molasses work so well in barbecue sauce?

Honey and molasses provide layers of sweetness whilst helping create the rich, sticky texture associated with traditional barbecue sauces. They also contribute to the caramelisation that develops when the sauce is cooked over high heat.

What is the best way to use BBQ sauce when grilling meat?

For most grilled meats, barbecue sauce is best applied during the final stages of cooking. This allows the sugars in the sauce to caramelise and develop flavour without burning.

Which dishes benefit most from a smoky barbecue sauce?

Smoky barbecue sauces pair particularly well with pork, beef and chicken, but they also work brilliantly with burgers, loaded fries, sandwiches, baked potatoes and roasted vegetables where extra depth of flavour is welcome.
