Steveston’s Best of British

I absolutely love when I called the British store. The ladies in there are amazing. They’re so friendly so helpful and they have the best British products going. I love going in there because I get to get all my favourite things mushy peas and just everything. It’s one spot that definitely you need to check out.

This compact corner market is practically bursting with jars of sauces, spices, spreads (Vegemite! Marmite!), jellies, meat pies, canned veg, cookies, candies, chips, crackers, and teas (but of course, darling!), as well as a sizeable assortment of beverages from the far-flung isles of the United Kingdom. If you're in need of a snack, look for the Union Jack!Additionally, this shop also stocks and maintains the free community pantry for those in need, just outside. Big props to them for this generous and thoughtful gesture!

Fabulous Selection Terrific service. OUtstanding hospitality and generosity. Been buying my sweets here for years! Best British chocolate and fine mints. So grateful to Lennie for her kind donation of sausage rolls to the needy in our community. Such a pleasant surprise , and thoughtful of Judy to connect us. LOve this shop, clean , friendly and kind. Great food great prices and feels like home whenever I walk in. A must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth or a longing for good comforting British food.

I used to come here in it's previous incarnation to get the currant squares. Steveston's Best of British is just as charming. Mostly food with a few sundry items. The jam selection is wonderful with some I have not seen anywhere else. The M&S (Marks and Spencer) Sicilian Lemon Curd looked great with just minimal ingredients, but there are a number of different curds. Next there is a freezer with many packaged meats and sausages. A while back I got some black pudding to make a 'Full English' breakfast. Then there are a lot of spreads and sauces (my favourite is the Heinz Salad Cream). A small fridge has sweet pies and those wonderful currant squares. Sweet and sour with a crispy crust topped with sugar. The display case was pretty bare as it was the end of the day but call ahead to make sure they have what you want. The display of Cadbury chocolate is big. The fridge with drinks also has some surprises. They usually have a small area with discounted items. All through the middle of the store are various cookies/candy/chocolate.I bought Wilkin and Sons Ltd Marmalade. You can see in the pics the pieces of peel. It was so good and reminded me of when I was in the UK as the packaging is so iconic. I also bought Cawston Press Ginger Beer made with apple cider and ginger. It was really tasty with a chili kick! They also have Schweppes Bitter Lemon which is hard to find. Great on it's own or in cocktails. So if it is for you or a gift or just nostalgic, I am sure you will find something.Daniel

They have a huge assortments of English sweet delights.

Some great from back home items in here. Great selection and lower priced than some of the Vancouver city based stores.

Was in store yesterday never again Wow never have I ever had someone who is suppose to be a professional sales person be so offensive or rude. I inquired on some merchandise in the store. I was told it is only display the two old horrible women behind the counter made such a rude comment after they told me no display only. Said stupid person maybe if she as 1 thousand to a million dollars well sale it to her. and began to laugh. So rude and condescending . So others heard and shook their heads in disbelief. Hope they get fired or if on commission get none its is called karma zero in stars would be in minus only way to post this is to give a star they deserve none

The store was neatly organized and had a wide variety of items on offer. From fresh produce to canned goods, I was able to find everything I needed.

NIce selection of UK brand food snacks & beverages, along with seasonal / gift items (ie. xmas pudding, puzzles, tea cups, biscuits). Small pantry of pastries and meat pies also in stock. Love crisps and soda flavours different from other brands
