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.

We've built one of the largest selections of British groceries in Canada, with competitive pricing that's fair and transparent — no inflated "import markup" nonsense, no customs surprises at checkout. Everything ships from within Canada, packed carefully by people who actually understand the products. Thousands of orders shipped across the country. Fast dispatch. Real support from a real team.

That’s exactly why so many people across Whitby, Ontario choose to order from us. Whether you’re up in Brooklin, near the waterfront or right in Downtown Whitby, 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 — delivered straight to your door.

Everything ships from within Canada. No international customs fees. No waiting weeks for a package to cross an ocean. The real thing, shipped fast to Whitby.

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."

I live on the other side of Canada in British Columbia. Their products are wonderful coupled with fast shipping — we have never been disappointed. My 87 year old mum is like a child again each time a package comes from them. We highly recommend The Great British Shop.

My step daughter is studying in Halifax for a year and won't be home for Easter. I wanted to ensure she had her British Easter eggs as we will miss her this year. Ordered in the morning online and delivered by lunchtime. Such a great service.

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!

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.

Kelowna, BC May 3, 2026

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!

Middle West Pubnico NS May 1, 2026

"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!"

Oakville, ON Apr 30, 2026

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!

Saint John NB May 2, 2026

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.

Where can I buy British food in Whitby?

Right here. The Great British Shop ships imported British groceries directly to Whitby, ON. We carry hundreds of authentic British products including Cadbury chocolate, McVitie's biscuits, Yorkshire Tea, Walkers Crisps and much more. Order online and we ship fast from within Canada with no customs fees.

Do I have to pay customs fees when ordering to Whitby?

Not a penny. We're a Canadian company shipping from within Canada so your order arrives as a domestic parcel. No customs fees, no border charges and no nasty surprises. Your order ships from our shop directly to your door in Whitby.

Is this real British Cadbury — not the Canadian version?

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.

How long does shipping to Whitby take?

Once your order is picked up, shipping to Whitby 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.

Can I buy British Easter eggs or Christmas chocolate in Whitby?

Absolutely — seasonally. We stock British Easter eggs including Cadbury Creme Eggs, Mini Eggs and Terry's Creme Filled Eggs when in season. At Christmas we carry Selection Boxes, Cadbury Milk Tray, Heroes, Celebrations and Galaxy Selection Boxes. Stock goes quickly so don't leave it too late. Check our Easter and Christmas collections for what's currently available.

Are you connected to British Pride Bakery?

We are in a way! British Pride Bakery is my family's business, it's where I learned the trade before launching The Great British Shop! While the businesses aren't connected under a business licence, we share many similarities!

Go on then.
