    This place is a gem. Good selection of sausages, bacon, meat pies, and cheeses. Plenty of crisps, biscuits, and sweeties. I make it a point to go once a month to stock up on the essentials... Taytos and Hulas (salt and vinegar of course), wagon wheels, brown sauce, cumberland sausages, breakfast bangers, Donnelly's bacon, and a flake or two.

    I recently visited UK Gourmet in Bethel, CT, and it was an absolute delight. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted with the warm and welcoming atmosphere that the shop exudes, making you feel like you've just walked into a local British shop. The selection of goods is impressive, with shelves brimming with authentic British teas, biscuits, and confectioneries that are hard to find elsewhere. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their products, always ready to help you find that particular item you're looking for, or to recommend something new if you're feeling adventurous. Their suggestions on what to pair with what are spot-on and add a personal touch to the shopping experience. But it's not just snacks and treats; UK Gourmet also offers a range of hearty British staples like bangers, meats, and pies that taste just like they've come straight from a British butcher's shop. Everything is fresh and of the highest quality. The highlight for me was definitely the sweets section—the chocolate selection is to die for! I could also find some of my favorite teas that I haven't seen since my last trip to the UK. In summary, UK Gourmet in Bethel, CT is a little slice of Britain with its excellent selection, friendly staff, and genuine vibe. It's a must-visit for any expat looking for a taste of home or any foodie curious about British cuisine. A 5-star experience!

    Cadbury Flake and meat pies...at long last we are together again after a trip to the UK 10+ years ago. It wasn't for lack of trying... This is a GREAT shop.

    well stocked store with very polite knowledgeable staff. Drove 90 minutes from upstate NY to shop for real mince meat from UK and filled a cart with all kinds of other goodies too. Well worth the drive and in the future when I am in the area will stop by to restock.

    Such a great little shop full of imported goods. Amazing sweets and chip selection for snacks as well as meats and cheeses. Staff are very kind and helpful with new products arriving all the time. A great little gem worth checking out if you want a taste of Europe.

    Varied selection and helpful staff. This store fills the bill for expats, anglophiles and those who are missing some of the treats discovered during travel. Their holiday displays and merchandise are outstanding.

    Lovely people and a quaint shop with a wonderful selection of treats, gifts and wares from the United Kingdom. Awesome selection of candies and teas, and a surprising case of cheeses and frozen foods like the potato and cheese pasties!

    My Dad was looking for Scottish meat pies. This is the only place in CT that sells them. Salesperson on the phone was courteous and helpful. All of the staff at the shop were pleasant and helpful. It is definitely worth your drive!

    One of my absolute favorite shops! The owner is so sweet. Lucky to get all the best bits shipped to Nashville. Will have to make another trip home to stock up on sweets!

  • 5/5 Don M. 2 years ago on Google
    Originally gave three stars but bumping it up to five based on a sincere apology from the owner. It is gratefully accepted. Wonderful shop! An incredible selection at very competitive prices. The reason I gave three stars and not five originally was due to a bad experience with the staff working while we were there. Again, the owner apologized and promised to talk with staff. I am absolutely satisifed with her response. Thanks!

    I visited the store to pickup some sweets and found it to be a a great experience. Huge selection of not so typical European groceries it felt like you could have been in a local store in the UK. A must visit for gifts and to stock up on your classic foods

    Stopped in with MINI Cooper friends last weekend. They had some excellent QEII displays (funeral was that week). I always get some Brit candy or potato chips. Always a fun place.
