British Essentials

We live in Australia and have ordered from British Essentials on at least 3 occasions and each time the service and delivery have been excellent. Being British expats, we're very happy to still be able to order and enjoy the food items and goodies that we miss! Thank you to all the team at British Essentials.

Given my items were coming from Great Britain, I was surprised at how well packed everything was. They arrived in perfect shape. We were very pleased with our purchase and the service.

I was impressed with the range of products on offer and the shipping price figured out in ranges of weight. It was very helpful indeed.

The problem that caused me to only give a 3 star review is that the packaging did not do a good job of looking after the pastry orders. The Bakewell tarts arrived crushed and the blackcurrant and apple pies tops were also crushed.

I will shop again but I will avoid the pastries alas.

Every day or so I like to do something new or positive while quarantining. I put a display of my British goodies on Facebook to share with my friends. I had a collection of Jammy Dodgers, Spotted ick, chocolate flake, digestives, Sticky pudding etc that I didn't get a chance to try on my Scotland 2018 trip. My followers enjoyed them as much as I did.

First time I used one of these ex-pat food services – we've haven't been home in a while due to COVID. We live in Italy. First good thing: they had Marmite when others did not. Ordering was easy and the weight limit calculator was great. The things arrived in about twelve days. The glass jars were really expertly wrapped. I'd ordered a box of 240 tea bags. I guess they did not have that so they gave me 2 x 160 of the same brand. So all in all we were really pleased with this company on all counts.

Thank you. The chocolates were wonderful. They were a great surprise to us over Christmas and we shall be purchasing again.

Trustworthy products

My order was a little late but other then that Smooth and simple to order and recive.

A very great product and delivery was timely

Delicious to taste on many meals.

I got what i bought, and i love it!

Chappie Fish is a first-class product.
It is very hard to find it in Germany.
It is very good to be able to get it for our
border collies who had it at home.
Hope I can get other things I need
Transport costs are not bad but could be lower.

Excellence can not be to often applauded. I placed a large order on the 30th and received today on the 9th! packing was well done and all items received in perfect order. I have a tendency to order from different places but as more and more becomes available I have increased my orders through British Essentials. I am a 58 Years old man who leaps from my chair with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old with every order. It is truly a joyous occasion when a taste of England comes to our house. Thank you and please keep the goodies coming!

The delivery, to France, was even faster than expected, and it was very well packed.

Very satisfied.

A great way for us Brits living abroad to get our essentials. Everything's a good price, reasonable p&p and quick delivery

Correct and honest.
I recommend this seller, they are correct and honest. There was a small mistake in the order and they did more than what was expected to find a solution.
Thank you

Excellent service and very quick delivery. I liike franck coopers oxford marmelade… I just bought a lot before a possible brexit….

Good! Got a bulk item delivered in reasonable time and product was excellent.

product as described,, arrived well packaged & on time

Absolutely reliable to deal with! Good product and good service!

Goods always delivered as promised and always in perfect condition.

We eventually received our order but not by the date indicated. When I contacted them they replied immediately so cannot fault them there.

Ordered 2 weeks ago. No one will reply to my email or message through Facebook. This is fraud. Spent over $80 on food from England to US!! Give me my money back! You stole my money and never sent me my items or even shipping updates.

I ordered this fondue for my Christmas Eve party it came on time and it was a superb product it went down very well with everyone with lots of lovely comments ! Would recommend
