Heinz is launching three new flavours of its 'mash-up' mayonnaise range, and apparently us Brits asked for it.
Not content with the classic mayo? Well you're in luck as the iconic sauce brand is now creating new mash-ups by blending other sauces together.
More than 81,000 Brits voted for the mash-up they wanted next, and it was a landslide victory for three sauces – Sriracha, mustard, and barbecue sauce.
It follows the success of Heinz’s ‘Saucy Sauce’ launch, which was a half-ketchup half-mayo blend.
So now there’ll be MayoRacha, MayoMust and MayoCue hitting supermarket shelves from Monday 13 February.

Heinz said: “Fish and chips, the Sugababes, Bennifer… some things just go better together. So, when half of Brits (51%) told us they mix sauces on the plate and 66,440 people said they want to see Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise mixed with sriracha, mustard and BBQ, we listened!
“We’ve been working hard to mix up your favourite saucy combos, and today, we can unveil three brand new, smooth and creamy Heinz Mayo Mashupz to take any home-cooked meal to the next level.”
They say that MayoRacha is the perfect sauce for dipping pizza crusts and chip into, or using to spice up sushi.
MayoMust is best-suited to chicken, hot dogs and sandwiches, while MayoCue is ‘banging with burgers or perfect with pizza’.

Wendy Lin, Senior Brand Manager at Heinz, said: “We love that people are getting creative with their sauce combos. So, we placed the power in the hands of the public to decide what Mashup we should create next.
“A quick dollop of our MayoRacha, MayoMust or MayoCue is all it takes to level-up mealtimes and get your tastebuds tingling. Our Mashupz are the perfect companion for pizza crusts, chips, burgers, sandwiches, sushi lunches and so much more.”
All three sauces are available in ASDA stores nationwide from 13 February 2023 for £3.39 (RRP) for 400ml.
Heinz MayoCue will be available in ASDA exclusively for 12 months, while Heinz MayoRacha and Heinz MayoMust will be available in wider retailers from early April.
Because one Fern Modern Sushi wasn't enough, we've now got two.
And guess what? It's even better than the first.
Fern Modern Sushi located in the unassuming Central Arcade has become a firm foodie favourite after opening just a couple years ago.
Run by the wonderful Chef Fern, who you could say is somewhat of a local celebrity at this point, the restaurant is known for serving delicious sushi with the freshest fish possible and traditional Japanese dishes with modern flair.

Full with hungry punters no matter the time of day, it's no surprise that Chef Fern has just opened Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 on Park Row.
This beautiful new space is serving up all the classic Fern dishes, from stacked donburi bowls and perfectly rolled sushi to miso glazed cod and hearty bowls of ramen.

Different for this location, though, is their exclusive cocktail menu - so you can wine and dine to your heart's content.
The interior has also levelled up, complete with a huge open kitchen so you can pull up a chair and eat whilst watching the magic happen.

And this isn't all that Chef Fern is up to, after opening Tori Nori on Vicar Lane a few months ago this will be her third restaurant in the city centre, and that is no easy feat.
She's even got another restaurant imminently opening in the Central Arcade which will be focused on traditional katsu dishes, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if she had something else lined up in the pipeline.

Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 officially opens on 19 November, but is open now for soft launch with limited bookings.
A pub in Leeds has been crowned the third best in Britain by The Good Food Guide
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pub has been crowned one of the very best in the country by The Good Food Guide.
The trusted guide has just released its 100 Best Pubs in Britain list, and we're very chuffed with the results indeed.
Taking the coveted number three spot is our very own The Highland Laddie, a 100-year-old city centre institution that reopened in April 2025 in the hands of new owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton.
These guys also run the Empire Cafe, so you just know it's going to be good.
Last year they soared straight to the top of the list and were crowned the best pub in the whole of Britain by the guide.

This time, the Queen's Arms over in Eccles came number one followed by The Cow in Notting Hill.
We still think bagging third place is quite the achievement, and if you've visited The Highland Laddie yourself you'll know just how much of a special place it is.
Don't just take our word for it, The Good Food Guide labelled the Laddie as 'a true pub with a genuine community vibe'.
They also said: "Reenergised by the team behind the Empire Cafe in 2025, this is everything that a proper English pub should be – 'oh, and they have a mustard menu!'
"Inside, the Laddie ticks all the boxes, preserving the essentials of a traditional old-school boozer and maintaining a genuine sense of community while letting the good times roll. As for the food, it’s ‘both high-end and accessible’, pulling in ideas from all over, whether you fancy a freshly shucked Lindisfarne oyster, a keema toastie or an elevated ham roll with bread cooked over the coals.
"Dig deeper and you might find a lobster madeleine with Yorkshire chorizo butter, a treacle onion tart or pork schnitzel with two fried eggs. Club steaks are served by the inch, there’s no creative let-up when it comes to sides, and the nostalgia is ramped up with the likes of strawberry and Champagne trifle with ‘sprinkles’.
"But never forget that this is a self-proclaimed ‘drinkers’ pub’ dispensing everything from ‘properly served’ British brews and ’the best Guinness in Leeds’ to a staggering line-up of whisky optics."
