The story of Lingham’s Chilli Sauce first began in 1908 in Penang, Malaysia. Using only four ingredients, the all-natural chilli sauce combines an exquisite taste of sweet and spicy flavours were crafted into this sublimely piquant sauce to satisfy the Edwardian penchant for hotter flavours and spiced foods.
Today it is prepared in exactly the same way using only the very best fresh red chillies, our quest still being to make your everyday fare taste better. Lingham’s Original Chilli Sauce – so good it has not changed since 1908.
In 1972, during her visit to Malaysia, HRH Queen Elizabeth graced a trade show in Dewan Sri Pinang, Penang on 8th March where Lingham’s had a stall. She was presented with a wooden crafted box containing bottles of Lingham’s chilli sauce. After her return to the UK, a letter of appreciation was sent to Lingham’s from Buckingham Palace. That was a magnificent moment for Lingham’s!
2012 also marked HRH Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee. To honour the occasion, Lingham’s sent a custom-made box containing Lingham’s chilli sauces. Lingham’s later received a letter of thanks, in which the Queen fondly remembered her visit to Dewan Sri Pinang in 1972 and was pleased to know the tradition of providing the chilli sauce to the British Armed Forces still continued.
Fast forward to 2025, Upscale Avenue has successfully exported Lingham’s Chilli Sauce range to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is currently now retailed at the Kingdom’s largest retailer EXCLUSIVELY!
