Ed Sheeran thinks Heinz tomato ketchup is just Perfect.
His love of Tommy K is so legendary that he has the logo tattooed on his arm – and the company even made a limited edition bottle in his honour.
Now we can reveal that Ed’s local cafe has got an emergency supply of the red stuff just for him.
So let’s hope he doesn’t need it during the lockdown.
The singer has had a bottle of sauce placed in a glass container at The Dancing Goat Cafe with the message, “In case of Ed Sheeran ”.
And in Heinz-sight, the cafe, in Framlingham, Suffolk, should have done it years ago.
“Ed’s sauce”, as the staff call it, takes pride of place inside the cafe, which is adorned with artwork and albums signed by the musician.
The cafe owners are Ed’s long-time pals and declined to comment, except to say he was “a good friend who loved ketchup”.
But one local said: “Ed is a family friend so the owners of the Dancing Goat are very protective of him.
“He really likes to be treated like just another customer and often will pop in for a coffee or a milkshake, which he adores.
“But when he has something to eat, the ketchup is always there for him. It’s become a bit of standing joke.
“His love of tomato ketchup is absolutely genuine. He often says that his greatest fear in life is running out.
“The sauce bottle in the glass case is an obvious talking point. Everyone who visits the cafe for the first time asks about it.
“A lot of people come to the cafe hoping to catch a glimpse of Ed and sometimes he gets asked for an autograph.
“But most of the locals are pretty cool about having a world-famous pop star drinking cappuccinos in their local coffee shop.”
Last year, Heinz launched a special ‘Tomato Edchup’ in honour of the singer and three sauce bottles signed by Ed raised £4,500 for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.
But it’ll be red alert if anyone gets their hands on his secret stash at the Dancing Goat.
