Our Story
We started this because we missed it.
The chocolate. The biscuits. A proper cup of tea. The stuff that doesn't translate, that no Canadian equivalent quite nails, that only makes sense if you grew up with it. That's exactly why The Great British Shop exists.
We're British expat owned and we've been in the British food business in Canada since 2010. We know these products not because we researched them — we grew up with them. When we say British Cadbury tastes different, we're not guessing. We've tasted both. Many, many times.
That is exactly why so many people across Durham Region order from us. Whether you’re in Downtown Whitby, around Pickering Town Centre, in Oshawa, Ajax, Clarington or anywhere else in the region, The Great British Shop makes it easy to get the proper British favourites you actually miss — from chocolate and biscuits to tea and cupboard staples — without settling for the almost-right version.
We ship right across Durham Region — Whitby, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Bowmanville, Courtice. Wherever you are in the region, your order arrives as a domestic parcel with no customs fees and no border surprises.
Ships from CanadaNo customs fees or border delays. It's a domestic parcel.

From the Owner
"We started this because we missed it. Fifteen years later we're still at it — and honestly, we still get a proper buzz when a new shipment comes in. That never gets old."

What Customers Are Saying
★★★★★
I live in Whitby and was missing the little things from home more than I expected. I placed an order for a few favourites and ended up smiling the minute I opened the box. Everything was fresh, well packed and exactly what I’d hoped for. It’s such a treat being able to get British food delivered this easily and so quickly.

I couldn’t be happier with my order. The choice is brilliant, the products are the real thing, and the whole experience was easy from start to finish. It arrived quickly and was packed so well. I’ve already got a list going for my next order and would absolutely recommend The Great British Shop.

Real orders. Real customers. Real excitement when the box arrives.
Hello and thank you for your wonderful shop with so many options to pick from. We were delighted when our order arrived and very impressed how quick we received it. My husband was excited for the wine gums and I can’t wait to open the Frazzles. As you can see the galaxy digestives were open before I even had the chance to take the picture!!! We will definitely order again!
Such a lovely carefully packed parcel with a personal card and note inside. Halifax to Calgary in three days, amazing! Thank you so much x
I was so excited to finally get my hands on some proper clotted cream, the order was packaged so nicely as well. Great job guys. If I'm ever in the mood to treat myself, I'll be ordering again.
I've been shopping with The Great Brtish Shop since 2021, they went offline for a little while while they moved province and opened a proper shop but I feel like they dont get enough attention . They almost always stock Maysan which is a must for me and compared to the other places I order from the prices are better especially the season stuff, I'm really happy they're back up and running. Not pictured are my Revels and I made a massive error in judgement only ordering one pack!
Sooo happy to receive our latest UK goodies!Love you guys for such great service with the best choice and prices for all our ol blighty favs.Will be topping up soon as we won't take long to make these all disappear LOL! Keep up your great work
"I fell in love with the UK travelling through it many times, but my luggages was never big enough to bring back enough food home. I am so happy I discovered The Great British Shop, now it's really easy to get some wonderful products, packed with care, not at all like in my luggages!"
"HELLO hi hey, I love you 🫵🏻 💗 this is the best thing to ever happen! Biscoff Eggs are already gone (one each) and we had some cream crackers with cheese for lunch. Bloody brilliant! Cheers lads xx"
I have been shopping with The Great British Shop for years and have never been let down. Quality of packing, price, selection, all top notch. Online shop with better customer service than my local British shop, a very unique business with excellent values and transparent practices. Thank you for providing me with my Brit fix for years and for years to come!
"I was sent on a mission by my brother to find these, & they arrived yesterday! I was able to surprise him & he was sooooo happy! Thanks"
"One happy British buyer!"
Received my packages today. A full bag of crisps seemed to magically disappear in a matter of minutes! Sticky toffee pudding was a nice dessert after tonight's dinner. So nice to finally get my favourite crisps again after many years. Thanks so much.

Yes — proper British Cadbury, made with the UK recipe. The difference is real. British Cadbury uses a higher milk content which gives it that creamier texture that Canadian Cadbury simply doesn't have. If you've always felt something was slightly off about Canadian Cadbury, you were right. Ours is the proper stuff.
Once your order is picked up, shipping to Durham Region typically takes 1 to 3 business days. Our shipping bar at checkout gives you an automatic estimate based on your location — if you want to check a different province you can update it manually. You'll get a tracking number the moment your order is dispatched.
Absolutely — seasonally. We stock British Easter eggs including Cadbury Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs and Terry's Creme Filled Eggs when in season.
