February is the month for lovers….and lovers love British chocolate.  Bring some home for that special person and enjoy the moment together.

The calendar has turned, January is here and with it comes the opportunity to celebrate Scottish history.  That’s right..it’s Robbie Burns time again.

We have everything you need to celebrate the event.  Of course haggis…6 pound trays for the large celebrations to a variety of sizes of ceremonial haggis.  We also have Robbie Burns mugs, tea towels and napkins.  And all your other Scottish celebration needs from flags to pins to pens and sweets.

Christmas is but a faint memory. It was a busy Christmas season for us but it was wonderful to share the experience with all of our friends ! We saw many of our regulars and a few new faces. All had very nice things to say. Here are a few….

Rob G. wrote…Best British store in London. Loads of all the best food stuffs, particularly the sweets and jams. A good collection of memorabilia from around the British isles for gift ideas or for yourself, if your like me. The prices are reasonable and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

Caitlin F. commented…Love this place. Staff is very friendly. Yummy!

Ken B. suggested…Great variety and wonderful staff

Paul H. wrote…Best selection of british goods in Ontario.

Thank you to all who gave us fabulous reviews. We look forward to serving you in 2019. Happy New Year !!!

Our Summer Update:

First we would like to thank all of our loyal customers.  To date, we have given away thousands of dollars worth of food and gifts through our loyalty program.

The spring was definitely filled with Royal news, the arrival of the new baby, Louis, and the wedding of the year of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.  We know that many of you held special events to celebrate with the Royal couple.

And now we find ourselves in mid summer.  A couple of exciting things we would like to share with you.  We are looking for some part-time help (job details can be found at the bottom of this email).  If you know anyone who might qualify or if you, yourself, are looking for some work, please review the details.  Also, we will be introducing a weekly Facebook special in August.  If you’re not one of our many Facebook customers, why not join the group.

Again, thank you from our family to yours for your loyalty.  We hope you have a wonderful summer filled with fun memories spent with family and friends.
