Online British Food Shops

[chicken pie 26]

Hi

Lots of British food shops have closed down over the years and also recently due to Brexit, so I was wondering if anyone knows any good online shops? thanks

I do not buy much but have used  Michelles Specialities (greatbritishfood.de)  and has always been very quick and seamless.   It is really just Marmtite and crumpets for me.  I do make crumpets too, but have not found a good local sub for Marmite.    "Vitamin K" is ok if used in moderation as a seasoning in a casserole, but for me really nasty on toast.

 Michelles Specialities seems to be quite good, but they don't have Mr Kiplings

I like "Michelles Specialities"  but I have also used the "British Corner Shop" https://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/ who do have a different selection and some Marks and Spencer food products, they ship out of the Netherlands these days so no customs/MWST etc but seem the be a bit more expensive and delivery charges (to Germany at least)  are definitely more costly.

Also - Stonemanor in Belgium have an online store and seem to have some stuff that Michelle's doesn't.

 

There's a place in Amsterdam that has an online store too.

 

Or you could just do a weekend shop at Dunnes / Supervalu / M&S / Tesco etc in Ireland and bring it all back with you without worrying about imports.

Is there an Irish on-line shop for meat products? Like pork pies etc?Do they even make pork pies in Ireland? I haven't found anything.

There is a refrigeration problem with posting pork pies.  Many websites even make you sign a disclaimer re chocolate melting in transit.   M&S in Frankfurt used to have pork pies, but they closed a looong time before Brexit.   Perhaps still in Paris?

Pork pies aren't a big thing in Ireland but for other meats I can recommend https://www.allirelandfoods.ie/

They ship via UPS and the stuff is still really cold (the ice packs were still solid) and very well packed when it gets here 24 hours after it's been dispatched. I must order again now that I think of it!

For those in the Hamburg area, these guys look to have nice pies:

This is via the Standard Delivery to Germany or the 'Air Freight Courier' option?

The air freight option must be selected for chilled meats.

I recently bought some stuff from these guys https://dalriata.de/ they were a bit more expensive than I would like, but the bacon, sausage and black-pudding were great.

The stuff arrived quickly, was well packed and still very cold. Tasted great.

There was a minor problem with my order (one of the things I wanted was sold out) but they emailed me and were super friendly and nice in the conversation about how to handle it. All in all it was a positive experience, but not something I will do too often because of the cost.
