Tingly Ted’s Sauce, named for Ed Sheeran’s childhood nickname, is a hot sauce crafted by the musician alongside Kraft Heinz.

It comes in Tingly and Xtra Tingly variants and comprises red jalapeño peppers, a blend of herbs and spices, and capsicum chillies, delivering a smoky heat with lemon undertones. It’s been described as the “ketchup of hot sauces”.

The new Ted’s Tingly Burger will feature crispy coated chicken in hot honey infused with Tingly Ted’s sauce, served with baby gem lettuce, mayo, rocket leaves, grilled halloumi and a unique sweet and sour onion mix.

The Sloppy Ted’s Flatbread will combine slow-cooked smoky BBQ beef, roasted mixed peppers, lightly spiced Tingly Ted’s mayo, rocket, grilled halloumi and sweet and sour onion.

Social Pub & Kitchen is also enhancing its dessert menu with pancakes served with Tony’s Chocolonely Sea Salt Bites, adding rich chocolate and a sea salt twist to the already popular dessert topped with vanilla ice cream, icing sugar, salted caramel sauce, mint and Belgian chocolate sauce.

Social Pub and Kitchen head of marketing Stephen Cooper stated: “The addition of Tingly Ted’s sauce to our menus perfectly aligns with our commitment to always improve and innovate. By introducing bold, exciting flavours in collaboration with well-known brands, we’re enhancing our food offering and keeping our menus fresh and dynamic, allowing us to deliver the best possible experience for our guests.

“We’re always looking for ways to elevate our menus, and these collaborations do just that. Partnering with Tony’s Chocolonely has taken our pancakes to the next level – creating the ultimate chocolate indulgence for dessert lovers – while Ed Sheeran’s Tingly Ted’s sauce brings a bold new flavour to our dishes, making every visit to our venues even more exciting.”
