Canada's Top Reviewed British Shop
A proper cupboard. A less convincing excuse for ordering just one thing.
British groceries are rarely bought one craving at a time. Someone remembers the beans, someone else mentions custard, and suddenly the snack cupboard has representation.
Looking for a British shop near you? Ours is in Halifax, and it comes to you anywhere in Canada: the brands you grew up with, packed by people who grew up eating them, and shipped from inside Canada, so there is no customs and nothing to pay at the door. Fresh bakery and frozen shopping have their own arrangements.
This is the whole shop in one place: the most complete range of the British food people actually miss, in the UK versions of the brands, not the Canadian ones. The chocolate, sweets, crisps, biscuits, tea, sauces and pantry staples that taste the way you remember them.
Short on time? Go straight to British chocolate, sweets, crisps, biscuits, tea and pantry favourites.
Every order is packed in Halifax and travels within Canada, so there is no customs and nothing to pay at the door. Delivery is free over your province's threshold (it shows in the bar at the top of the page), and PO boxes are welcome.

View full detailsOne person misses custard. Another cannot make a roast without their usual stuffing. Somebody else just wants a packet of the biscuits that never quite tastes the same when they buy a substitute. A British grocery shop means different things to different kitchens.
This is the broad shelf at The Great British Shop in Halifax. Browse familiar tins, packets, biscuits and treats, or start with a few useful favourites below. Build the parcel around what you actually eat, with a small allowance for the thing you spotted on the way through.
Ambrosia rice pudding and custard are useful cupboard standbys, whether you have a dessert planned or simply like knowing there is something sweet on the shelf. A fairly sensible use of cupboard space, really.

View full detailsThe Great British Shop is in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Online grocery orders are packed here for delivery within Canada. This collection is the broad place to browse the groceries, with narrower categories in the menu when you know what you want.
At The Great British Shop in Halifax, and by delivery from there to every province. Chocolate and sweets are only the beginning: custard, puddings, gravy, stuffing and cooking mixes all come too, so the whole dinner can be British if you would like it to be.
There is one in Halifax, with free pick-up at checkout, and the rest of Canada is closer than it looks. After dispatch from Halifax, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island take 1 to 4 business days; Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador take 1 to 6; British Columbia takes 1 to 7.
Comfort, mostly: gravy over the roast, custard over the pudding, dumplings on the stew. A single tin of Ambrosia custard is a perfectly good reason to visit, since there is no minimum order, but few people stop there. Rice pudding, Aunt Bessie’s dumplings and Aunty’s Golden Syrup Pudding have a way of finding each other in a basket.
