Not another 'Henderson's' addict.  My brother in law moved back up here to Yorkshire and is disgusted that our local supermarkets don't sell it.  Apparently it's a Sheffield thing.  As he's from there, I'll mention the names to him just in case!  (What sort of age were Jo and John?)

I am sure if you write a nice letter to the Old Oaks and enclose a letter for John and Jo they will put the address on it for you?  No breach of data protection as they won't have given you their address.

I know Jo & John, it's me & hubby.  But our surname isn't Bishop, we don't live in Sheffield and we've never been to Somerset.  Sorry  

Hope you manage to track them down

Never heard of Henderson's relish, what's it like? Hope you manage to find them.

Henderson's Relish is a spicy and fruity condiment, similar in many respects to Worcestershire sauce, but as it contains no anchovies it is considered a vegetarian alternative. Produced in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, some adherents favour it out of regional loyalty as much as taste. The product's slogan is "Made In Sheffield For Over a 100 Years". It is essentially made of water, sugar and spirit vinegar with a selection of spices and colouring. It can be found in local fish and chip shops and almost every supermarket and grocers in the city, yet is almost unavailable anywhere outside of South Yorkshire (although it can now be ordered online in multiples of a litre).

According to Hendersons, famous fans of the condiment include Sheffield-born celebrities Sean Bean, Peter Stringfellow, Def Leppard's Rick Savage and KT Tunstall. David Blunkett also used it when he cooked Shepherd's Pie on The F-Word TV cookery programme.

The singer/songwriter Richard Hawley used specially-labelled bottles of Henderson's Relish to promote his 2005 album 'Coles Corner'. Also on his 2007 autumn tour special bottles of the relish were available to promote current album Lady's Bridge. The bottles of relish cost £1.50, with fans generally having to purchase them after the show, due to glass bottles being banned from most auditoriums.

The Hendersons factory is located adjacent to the University Supertram stop, on Leavygreave Road.
