Our Story

Who Are We?

Grumpy Gary’s is the manufacturer and distributor of award-winning, natural, handcrafted sauces and is a 100% Australian, family owned business.

It would be an understatement to say that we love food. After years of perfecting our recipes to match the tastebuds of every customer, we pride ourselves in bringing to you what you love. We love getting you excited about your food, and how our sauces can breathe life into even the most boring meals.

Why Grumpy, You Ask?

Well, have you ever heard of a happy Gary? Just kidding. Just like every other family, ours is a little special too, and that’s all thanks to Grumpy Gary’s. Although it begun with Gary’s obsession with chilli and delicious food, his passion for his creations touched the hearts of every member in our family. His lack of time to perfect his beloved sauces would lead to him feeling grumpier than ever, until finally he decided to pursue what makes him smile.

‘My passion for hot sauces would make me nearly blow up my kitchen over the weekends. On Mondays, my friends at work would always look forward to tasting some new sauce I had made. Then, someone asked me to make my Special Sauce for a weekend BBQ. Repeat requests followed. I would have sleepless nights 'till I had feedback. '

After weeks and eventually months of him hogging the kitchen, visiting the weekend markets and perfecting his recipes based on customer feedback, the family began falling in love with what was soon going to represent us. Now it’s safe to say, it’s an obsession for us all.
