IF YOU’VE EVER EATEN OUR ‘TUBBY’S TACOS’ AT ANY EVENTS YOU’LL HAVE EATEN THIS MARINADE!
I get excited about this sauce, it literally makes the best pulled chicken for tacos. Just marinade chicken thighs over night before cooking in the sauce, covered for 70% of the cook and uncover to crisp on top before shredding in the juice! Top with pink onions, guac, refried beans, black beans, coriander and a drizzle of pablo!

Tubby Toms
Tubby Tom’s is the perfect combination of all of my passions. I spend all day working with amazing food, creating sauces and seasonings and selling them to awesome, like-minded people.
It all started with a single batch of BBQ sauce i’d made in the summer of 2014. My friends loved it and joked about how I should sell it and brand it as ‘Tubby Tom’s’. I thought it was pretty funny and it seemed like a great idea, so I made some more, drew up some sketchy labels and took it down to our local farm shop.
The weekends I didn’t spend cooking the sauce, i’d be out at farmers markets selling it. My friends and family often got roped in (common theme here) to help me do the big cooks. They also helped me with the market stalls sometimes too, they’re the best. Thanks guys, couldn’t have done it with out you.
