A gravy mayonnaise is one of three new flavours unveiled by Hellmann’s that’s said to be “coming soon” to the UK.
The popular condiment brand has revealed that the trio of new flavours – which also includes Coronation Mayonnaise, and Chilli Charger Mayonnaise – are the latest additions to its ever-growing range, and they’re said to be inspired by “Britain’s best-loved restaurant sauces”, according to The Grocer.
The gravy flavour is said to be “the perfect dipping sauce for chicken and chips”, Hellmann’s revealed, and was also “inspired by a well-known chicken takeaway”.
The Coronation flavour offers “a tangy and jubilant” option for sandwiches, and then the Chilli Charger flavour is said have “a hot umami taste”, which makes it an ideal option for “pairing with all chicken dishes”.
While the other two new sauces are also sure to be a hit, it’s fair to say that they haven’t quite grabbed the attentions of Northerners to the same extent as the gravy flavour.

A post shared the the ever-popular budgeting page, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, yesterday confirming that the gravy flavour is “coming soon” has already racked up hundreds of interactions and over 5,000 comments from mayo-lovers up and down the country who seem keen to get their hands on a couple of bottles when they hit supermarket shelves next month.
Speaking ahead of the launch of the Gravy Mayonnaise, Georgina Bradford – Foods Marketing Director at Hellmann’s owner Unilever – said it would bring “exciting new flavour to kitchens and allows shoppers to experiment with a variety of occasions”.

The trio of sauces will initially be sold at Iceland and Morrisons stores UK-wide in April, before a wider rollout is expected to follow over the coming months.
They’ll be sold in 250ml squeezy bottles made from 100% recycled plastic for £2.25 each.
Keep your eyes peeled to see when they hit shelves.

Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ in stores for autistic and neurodiverse customers
Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ for autistic and neurodiverse customers shopping in its stores across the UK.
Supermarket shopping isn’t always the most pleasant or manageable of experiences for everyone, especially for those who are autistic or neurodivergent – with bright lights, loud sounds, strong smells, and crowds of people making it a rather overwhelming and overstimulating atmosphere.
This is why Morrisons has decided to collaborate with the National Autistic Society to introduce dedicated ‘Sensory Support Boxes’ at its stores nationwide, as a way to both mark World Autism Acceptance Month, and help autistic and neurodivergent customers have the positive shopping experience they deserve.
These boxes have been carefully-developed in consultation with the National Autistic Society to ensure they include the most helpful items.
A range of toys like fidget balls, spinners, and squish mats can all be found inside the boxes – which will be eventually be available in all 500 Morrisons supermarkets by May – to help encourage calmness and focus.
All that customers wishing to access the items need to do is simply speak to a colleague at the customer service kiosk of their local Morrisons store.
More than one in 100 people are autistic, and there are 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.

Speaking on the decision to introduce the Sensory Support Boxes into UK stores, Joseph Clark-Bland, who is the Community Manager at Morrisons, said: “It’s a priority for us to ensure all Morrisons customers feel welcomed and understood.
“We’re proud to be leading the way in creating a more inclusive shopping environment for autistic people, their families and all neurodivergent people across the UK.
“World Autism Acceptance Month has been a key moment for Morrisons for many years, and we look forward to supporting even more customers via our new Sensory Boxes.”
The introduction of the Sensory Support Boxes comes after Morrisons first trialled a ‘Quieter Hour’ in some of its stores back in 2018, before rolling it out nationwide in 2024 due to its success and positive feedback.
