Thread: Food delivered from the UK

Although I enjoy the cuisine here, there are many things I miss from home.

I have seen a few sites that offer to deliver food items from the UK.

Has anyone tried any of these? Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks.

Ralph

I hav tried a few but like buckshawshop.co.uk They are v.friendly small outfit witha personal touch and happy to help with all my requests.
I know what you mean its fab to get your hands on tasty stuff you cant get here.

I did wonder about that...see thinking way ahead and realised they don't have baked beans like we do in the states.

Hiya Ralph i have heard both good and bad about these sorts of shops, the negative feedback being sometimes the use by date on stuff is very short.
In Brisbane we are pretty lucky as there are lots of UK food shops dotted about, they are quite expensive though so it is best to try and find equivalents as soon as and just visit the pommy shops for a special treat every now and again.

Where are you? You didn't say!

Hello,
If you have a sweet tooth then try www.greatbritishtreats.com.They have all sorts of traditonal cakes like ginger cake,lemon cake,and eccles cakes etc for all the northerners!.They will send all over the world and there prices are ok.My mate in NZ uses them when he misses a bit of home cooking

I have just had my first food order in Spain from British Corner Shop and I can thoroughly recommend them. Everything was well packed and was delivered to our local post office. Their rates are good, you can have up to 30 kilos in weight and it costs 14.99 british pounds. Normally I go over to England and bring a few bits back with me but obviously I got a lot more by doing it this way. Why not try tjem for yourselves ?

Hi Ralph,

You don't say where you are. I am in Spain and had my first food order at Christmas from British Corner Shop and was well pleased with it. There was no problem with sell by dates and everything was well packed. Could not fault them at all. Based on my own experience I would certainly recommend them to anyone else. The food here is okay but we do like our English tea bags, the Spanish ones are terrible !! I also like to get bottles of squash from them as this doesn't exist in Spain.

Good luck

I tried this before but those are cakes and pastries only.... i don't know if food
I hard to keep it in a good condition in delivering in distance.... it's like a fragile materials to be delivered its apart of their marketing skill to enhance your marketing skill visit real estate marketing

The best place to get British food delivered is from expat emporium fantastic service and VERY fast delivery, I shopped around and they seemed to have the best service and best delivery rates around
