The British Grocer is a family run chain of British Grocery stores. We started the business in 2014 with a dream of bringing British food to the Canadian market. We specialize in producing authentic British styled Butchery & Bakery products following recipes that have been around for generations. We use locally sourced ingredients & imported spices to bring a taste of the UK in every bite. Everything we make in house is made by hand with love.
In our retail stores we have a huge selection of British products. We import everything from Heinz Beanz to Cadbury Flakes to Paxo Stuffing. We import around 1,000 products on a monthly basis & we buy from local suppliers so we are nearly never out of stock. Each year we also bring in a wide range of seasonal items arriving for Christmas & Easter. We pride ourselves on bringing in Canada's biggest selection while keeping our prices low & competitive.
At the British Grocer Kitchen, we’re all about making glorious everyday food to help people live well.
So whether that’s pies for comforting suppers served with a side of fresh veg, sausage rolls that are perfect for weekend feasts with the family, it’s all about eating well and feeling good.
It’s not just the food that makes The British Grocer who we are. We have a guiding vision that we live by and that factors into everything we do. We call it The British Grocer Way.
For us, it’s all about putting heart into food and soul into business (because good food is about more than just fuel and function and good business is about more than just profit and numbers).
We wholeheartedly believe in producing a high quality product at a fair price. Our products carry the The British Grocer name, and they need to continue to develop, surprise and satisfy.
We’re on a mission to make good food, great. From wholesome pies and carefully crafted butchery products to seriously snackable sausage rolls and cakes, everything we produce and sell is lovingly prepared with top-notch ingredients and packed full of flavour, bringing colour, joy and deliciousness to dinner tables, packed lunches and family fridges.
But it doesn’t stop there – we believe in creating a better food future too and that change starts with what’s on our plate.
We know that what we eat and the way it’s made has a huge impact on both people and the planet. At The British Grocer, we want to make sure that we’re continuing to do everything we can to make feel-good food whilst playing our part in reducing our impact too. That’s why as a business, we focus on three core ingredients – Planet, People & Food.
Planet - in 2023 we’re moving from plastic trays to cardboard box packaging, ensuring that 100% of our packaging is reusable, widely recyclable or home compostable.
People - We’re proud of our people and always want to ensure that our teams feel appreciated and listened to, whilst having opportunities to develop and progress. Since The British Grocer started in 2014 we’ve always strived to give back to the communities around us. Whether that be donating surplus stock, supporting local fundraisers or volunteering our time at local food banks, or assisting smaller businesses who need a helping hand.
Food - we pride ourselves on the top-notch quality of the food we make. But it’s not just about the quality of our craft that makes The British Grocer. It’s the ingredients we use too. Working together with trusted suppliers is, and always will be, incredibly important to us. This ensures we’re using the best possible, high-quality ingredients.
