- Supper Club tour to visit UK cities with evenings of Caribbean
- Grace Foods UK to launch new Grace Jamaican Honey Jerk Seasoning at Supper Club events
The UK’s number one supplier of Caribbean food and drink* is joining forces with the nation’s most popular Caribbean chefs for a country-wide supper club tour.
Grace Foods UK, the name behind some of the UK’s most popular jerk sauces and seasonings, Encona hot pepper sauces and chilli jams and some of the nation’s favourite drinks including Nurishment, Grace Tropical Rhythms and Mighty Malt, is partnering with the Original Flava Brothers Craig and Shaun who are taking their popular supper club concept to six UK cities. These include Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester and London, and the tour kicks off in Nottingham on 4 May.
The Supper Clubs include a two-course meal, cooking masterclass by Shaun and Craig and an unlimited rum punch hour.
And Supper Club diners will be the first people in the UK to experience Craig and Shaun’s exclusive Grace Jamaican Honey Jerk-infused recipe. And the Supper Club tour is the official launch of the new Honey Jerk seasoning too, which will be available to buy in major supermarket groups this summer. The new seasoning has been available to buy in some independent retailers since the beginning of this year.
The UK is the springboard for the launch of Grace Jamaican Honey Jerk Seasoning in Europe so Supper Club diners will be among some of the first people in Europe to taste the seasoning as Craig and Shaun will be using the new seasoning in their main Supper Club dishes, Honey Jerk Fried Chicken paired Curry goat and the vegetarian option of plantain and chickpea curry with jerk jackfruit marinated in Grace’s Jamaican Honey Jerk Seasoning, rice and peas and salad.
Along with the Original Flava Brothers being the first chefs to use the Grace Jamaican Honey Jerk Seasoning in their Supper Club dishes, the partnership will also see Grace Foods UK supply Encona Hot Pepper Sauces to the Supper Clubs along with Grace Foods UK’s best-selling drink Grace Tropical Rhythms, which is available in Mango Carrot, Pineapple Ginger, Fruit Punch and Sorrel Ginger flavours with the Fruit Punch drink set to be a tasty addition to the Original Flava Brother’s legendary Rum Punch. The drinks are made from a blend of fruit and vegetables, and the Mango Carrot, Pineapple Ginger and Fruit Punch drinks are also full of vitamin C, a good immunity-boosting source.
Grace Foods UK will be supplying Craig and Shaun with Grace Tropical Rhythms in its brand-new format, one-litre Tetra packs, which launched earlier this year.
Talking about the collaboration, Kimberley Lue Lim, Head of Marketing for Grace Foods UK, said: “Craig and Shaun as the Original Flava Brothers have inspired generations of Britons to cook Caribbean food at home by creating a strong following in the early days of their YouTube channel, followed by best-selling cook books, TV appearances – they are regulars on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch – and their very own restaurant residency in Brixton.
“We are thrilled to be able to use the Supper Clubs to launch our brand-new Grace Jamaican Honey Jerk Seasoning. We know that Shaun and Craig love it so we can’t wait to hear what the Supper Club diners think about it.
“Also, it’s great for the team at Grace Foods UK to be on this journey with Craig and Shaun, and getting our best-selling products into the delicious Caribbean dishes they are making on their Supper Club tour is a great collaboration for both us and the Original Flava Brothers. Bringing the tastes and flavours of the Caribbean to UK cities is the perfect way to introduce people who may not know much about the wonders of Caribbean food, its heritage and how wholesome and nutritious it is. And of course, there’s the music and the whole Caribbean vibe too. It will be a real party atmosphere.
“From what Craig and Shaun have told us, their Rum Punch is legendary, and we are so pleased that Grace Tropical Rhythms fruit punch will be playing a key role in making the Original Flava Brothers rum punch even more legendary.”
Craig and Shaun said: “We’re so excited to team up with Grace Foods UK on our first nationwide Supper Club tour. We’ve grown up on their products from our Mum and Nanny teaching us how to cook as young boys to now showing our own kids so we’re really proud of this partnership and bringing their iconic products on the road with us.”
