If you are familiar with England and all of the wonderful goodies that come from there then this shop will be your final destination. I have been to other shops that have Walkers Crisps and the occasional Curly Wurly but this shop has everything. Boxes of Ready Brek and proper tonic water for Gin & Tonic's (those of you from the UK will know what I'm going on about), Galaxy Minstrels, Irn Bru, Walnut Whips, Horlicks, Bewley's Tea, Barry's Tea.....oh my god I could go on forever. Oh wait, don't forget Jaffa Cakes and Jammie Dodgers!!
Anyway, besides the fact that they have all of the packaged goodies that made the UK home for me they also have an amazingly fresh and yummy selection of meats (hence the name butcher shoppe) along with meat pies. I purchased a mince pie and it was beautiful. The crust was perfectly short and the filling was nicly spicy with not too much gravy.
Seriously, I could sit here and type for days about my love for this place but I think I've gotten my point across. It was a bit pricey but when you consider how much it must cost them to import all of that stuff I feel that it is worth it. -

Cumberland sausages and gammon bacon. Save on Foods now makes "bangers" and they're not bad. The sausages here are better.
Heinz baked beans!!!!!!!!!! Don't eat any of the North American variety of baked bean permutations, they are disgusting and goopy compared to these.
Black pudding anyone??!!
I wish this place was closer to me. -

Very good sausages, although the selection has been whittled down. Walker's lamb and mint crisps! But very often out of stock, unfortunately. Plenty of English sweets and other things but at a price.
I liked the old location a couple of doors up the road, it had more character. Since they moved I haven't visited as much but when I'm in the area I pop in to get some Cumberland sossies and stare forlornly at where the lamb and mint crisps should be.
