Rebecca makes the most flavourful
Rebecca makes the most flavourful, intense hot sauce I’ve ever tried sooo good! Had to get the gherkins and pickled onions too, can’t wait to try throwing them in some burgers

Sustainable Spice?
My only concern is that a lot of polystyrene peanut packaging arrived with my order. Might there be another way of safely delivering these amazing sauces that will not kill our planet stone dead?

Still the best.....but better
I used to use these guys years ago but took a break due to health reasons. Now I'm back on the hot sauce train and I've got to say these guys are still the best but also better than ever.
Most hot sauces I come across focus too much on the heat but even the hottest sauces from the Doc are packed with flavour that even a small amount on your food gives it a big hit on your taste buds.
I got the 70% Ghost Pepper one and fully expected it to just be super hot as I wanted it to add to my food when I'm cooking family meals so I can have some spice but it's so tasty I want it on everything. The other one was the Chipotle Ghost Pepper sauce that I add to chilli and stuff like that - the smokey flavour and enveloping heat are amazing and it just makes you want to have another meal with it on so you can experience it again.
The sauces came as quick as possible and packaged very carefully - order updates via email and tracking etc are a nice addition so you never wonder where your order is, not like you have time to wonder as it turns up so fast!

Amazing sauces
Amazing sauces. These are the real deal - extremely hot BUT ALSO extremely delicious. Not all made from extracts, these are real sauces made from the chillies themselves. Very delicious, and mindblowingly hot. Awesome.
