Beet This Sauce was born in mechanic Conor Stewart’s family home kitchen in Lossiemouth, but is now taking its next steps with a dedicated factory in Elgin. The dad-of-three was first inspired after seeing Levi Roots making his mark with Reggae Reggae sauce on Dragons Den.

The original sauce is already available in businesses locally and nationally.
