Meet the Creators Behind Atari Sauce: Olly Reynalds & Dave Perrett - Sauce Shed Ltd

Olly Reynalds, known in the chilli world as Chilli Olly, and Dave Perrett, aka Chilli Pepper Perrett, both grew up in the golden era of gaming.  They spent their childhoods mastering the Atari 2600 and now, years later, they’ve channelled that nostalgic love into their latest culinary project—Atari® Sauce (available at https://atarisauce.com/).

 

Olly, a multi-award-winning chef and entrepreneur, has built a reputation for pushing culinary boundaries with his fiery creations and entrepreneurial ventures like Sauce Shed. His passion for blending unique flavours with a dash of fun led to the creation of multiple sauce brands, including the punchy Street Fighter Hot Sauce range.


Dave, a chilli enthusiast with over 25 years of cooking experience, crafted his first sauce for friends and family before launching his Chilli Pepper Perrett brand. Known for its sweet heat and bold flavours, his sauces have been a hit at food festivals across the UK. With a love for all things spicy, Dave’s hands-on approach brought a new level of heat and flavour to Sauce Shed’s creations.


Together, Olly and Dave are now bringing their passion for food and nostalgia to life with Atari® Sauce. This range of sauces celebrates retro gaming and bold, creative flavours and every bite transports you back to the joystick days of retro gaming.

“We wanted to take the flavour journey as seriously as the games themselves,” says Olly. “Each sauce had to be more than just delicious—it had to reflect the joy and thrill of gaming. The Breakout sauce, for example, brings a vibrant, tangy BBQ taste that feels just as dynamic as the game’s bouncing energy.”


Fun Meets Flavour


Every ingredient, down to the design of the bottles, has been carefully selected to stay true to the game’s spirit, combining culinary creativity with a sense of fun. The Yars' Revenge sauce captures the intensity of the game with a fiery heat that’s layered with complex, strategic flavours, while the Breakout sauce delivers a bold, tangy BBQ hit—perfectly matching the fast-paced, brick-busting excitement of the game. 


“We had a lot of fun with this,” says Dave. “From the heat-packed Yars' Revenge to the tangy BBQ punch of Breakout, every bottle feels like you’re unlocking a new flavour level.”


Atari® Sauce is where fun meets flavour in the tastiest way possible. Use with Joy, Stick it on Everything.
