Suffolk sauce-maker Stokes has received a plaudit from a Michelin two-starred chef.

Daniel Clifford, who runs Midsummer House in Cambridge, contacted the Rendlesham-based firm to say he was a big fan of Stokes’ Real Tomato Ketchup.

Managing director Rick Sheepshanks said: “He called to say that he and his family are huge fans of the product and now won’t use anything else at home.

“He did explain that very few recipes in a Michelin starred restaurant come with tomato ketchup…but if one did he would happily serve it to his customers.”
