MAGPIES BRITISH FOOD

“If you are British, have spent any time in the UK, or you are related to or know a Brit, you will all know how much we like our traditional food and candies (known to us as sweets). Magpies British Food Store in Chemainus stocks a wide selection of delectable treats and store cupboard staples imported specially from the UK, and if you have ever tried British chocolate, you’ll know how good it is! We cater for a wide range of tastes, and will try to source hard to find items if we can for our customers who are hankering for a taste of their homeland. British couple Cath and Steve Scanlan bought the existing Magpies in May ‘22. The plan is to expand the already substantial offering this year and really put British food on the Cowichan Valley map. Bestsellers so far are Cadbury’s Flake and Ripple, chocolate, all time favourite Walkers crisps, plus licorice toffees, humbugs, marmalades and jams, gravies, chutneys (especially Branston Pickle) and biscuits plus not forgetting the love it or hate it Marmite and Robinson’s fruit squashes.

We’re not just for Brits! Everyone can appreciate our products and we have regular in-store tastings of different foods to tantalise the tastebuds We also have regular special offers on sale, which changes every month and according to the season.

We love meeting and chatting with our customers, with excellent customer service being a priority. A wide range of popular greeting cards from the UK are also to be found in the store, plus a selection of home goods and gifts.

Magpies British Food is located within the Blue Orchard Store in The Chemainus Public Market, 9790 Willow St Chemainus. Tel 604 358 4859
