Notts-based Franchise Ohannes Burgers Are After UK-Wide Domination

13 April 21

Amidst the general misery within the food and drink sector during the past twelve months, one chain has managed to not only survive, but thrive.

D7 Sauce Are Creating Homemade Hot Sauce in Sherwood

02 November 20

Hot sauce can be an uncomfortable condiment to eat. I like a bit of spice, but the hot stuff generally doesn’t bring me much joy. However, D7 Sauce’s Scarlett’s Hot Sauce, with its bright packaging and promises of flavour made me want to give it a bash.
