Chef to the stars Sebby Holmes launches “Payst”, a range of easy-to-use, fresh authentic Thai sauces and curry pastes.

Critically acclaimed and Michelin award-winning chef, Sebby Holmes, has launched a range of Thai street food sauces and pastes, allowing spice and Southeast Asian food fans alike to cook authentic, gourmet Thai dishes in the comfort of their own home.

Payst is a premium range of fifteen easy-to-use Thai dipping sauces, stir-fry sauces and curry pastes, including vegan-friendly options, that are made fresh in the UK. Payst brings the tastes of Thailand to kitchens across the nation, without compromising flavour or freshness, in a matter of minutes.

Sebby is the mastermind and Head Chef behind four-time Michelin Bib Gourmand-winning restaurant, Farang. The Payst range includes everything essential to transport your kitchen to the street food markets of Bangkok, from the classic green and red curry pastes to the more adventurous Jungle Curry and Gaeng Gatti pastes. There are also stir-fry sauces for the perfect Pad Thai and dippping sauces for side dishes.

Each Payst product is crafted in the Farang kitchen by Sebby and the team and provides the perfect opportunity for Brits to discover the diverse flavours of Thai cuisine and experience authentic Thai flavours in the comfort of their own home.

Born from Sebby’s passion for Thai cuisine and experimenting with flavours and ingredients, Payst is now available in shops across the UK, including the likes of Harrods, Selfridges, Daylesford Farm Shop, and straight from the kitchen at Farang.

The range of Thai-inspired sauces and pastes are made with the freshest ingredients, sourced from top farms across Thailand and the UK.

Sebby said: “Covid played a huge role in the birth of Payst. When the country was forced into lockdown and we had to shut our doors, we very quickly pivoted the business to keep bringing the flavour under the belief that just because you can’t leave your home doesn’t mean you can’t explore through taste!

“The day the hard lockdown was announced my team and I picked up the phones and rang every booking we had over the coming weeks and months. We offered everyone the chance to pick up their meal or deliver it to their door if they were local enough to us. We were very lucky that there was so much support from the local community. People kept coming and wanting more of our food.

“Customers repeatedly asked if they could get our sauces as a side to use later in their own meals; and that’s how Payst was born.

“This is the start of a much wider range focused on bringing the tastes of Thailand to every kitchen across the nation, without compromising flavour or freshness.”
