Bold Flavours. Filipino Soul.

RoniB’s Kitchen is an award-winning artisan food brand on a mission to bring the vibrant flavours of the Philippines to every table. Founded in 2017 by Roni Bandong, we create handcrafted sauces, condiments and preserves that blend tradition, innovation, and unforgettable taste.

From our signature Banana Ketchup to fiery Garlic Chilli Oil and savoury Adobo Sauce, every jar is packed with real ingredients, bold flavour, and a story worth sharing. Whether you're rediscovering the tastes of home or exploring Filipino food for the first time, RoniB’s Kitchen makes it easy to cook, dip, drizzle and enjoy.

All our products are made in small batches here in the UK, using traditional recipes with a modern twist. With over five Great Taste Award, a Silver at Great British Food Awards, and a growing community of flavour fans across the UK, UAE, Europe and beyond, we’re proud to represent Filipino food on the global stage.

Join us on our journey to make Filipino cuisine a must-have in every kitchen—one delicious jar at a time.
