Sherry peppers have been a part of Bermuda cuisine for generations. During the nineteenth century imaginative sailors in the Royal Navy were fortifying sherry with hot peppers to concoct an all-purpose "seasoning."  A taste for the incendiary additive was passed on to land-bound and sea-faring Bermudians.

About a century later Yeaton Outerbridge and his cousin Robbie decided to make up a batch of the long loved "sauce" in Yeaton's cellar at "Shelly Hall."  That was in 1964.   Since then Outerbridge's has become synonymous with Sherry peppers and a whole line of zesty gourmet condiments.

Today this growing "cottage" industry is operated by Yeaton and his son Alex which was originally located In the cellar of the old staff quarters at "Villa Monticello". Yeaton still stirs up the original secret brew that gives all the Outerbridge's products their particular kick and unique flavour. 

Most of the spicy sauces bear reference, in one way or another, to the term "hot."  In Bermuda, for the uninformed, if you have been out on a bit of a toot and imbibed a little too much, you are known as hot.  On the other hand if you were out most of the night and "legless," some might just call you full hot.  If two or three days have gone by and people were about to report you officially missing, you are Royal Full Hot.
