View full detailsThe Great British Shop, your online British Grocer
We stock genuine imported British groceries for people in Canada who know exactly why a cupboard feels wrong without proper tea, biscuits, crisps, chocolate, squash, Branston, HP Sauce, Bisto, and a few emergency packets of sweets hidden somewhere sensible.
That’s British food in Canada without the hunt: one shop, one basket, and the whole cupboard sorted.
Everyone in Canada picks a side eventually. Call them British sweets or British candy, crisps or chips, biscuits or cookies, we’ve got the lot, plus British chocolate, tea and snacks delivered across Canada.
The Great British Shop is a family-run British shop based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, sending UK favourites across Canada from right here in Canada. Whether you grew up with these brands, married into a British family, or just discovered that British snack shelves are dangerously good, we’re here to make the search a lot easier.
Your order leaves from inside Canada, so it never has to clear customs. And if you’re in Halifax, come in: the shop has our own bakery, with pies and sausage rolls hot from opening.
Christmas pudding is not fruitcake with a different name. Choose a size, heat it properly and settle the custard-or-brandy-butter question.

The Christmas range lands from the UK in early November.
The day it arrives we unpack it, pack your order and send it on its way. Advent calendars go first, and everything reaches you within a few days wherever you are in Canada.
Order now and it has your name on it. The favourites go early every year. The people who leave it until December are the ones who miss out.
