Has anyone ever purchased items here? What was your experience, etc? It's on N. May and about NW 31st.

Way overpriced. A little musty smelling and odd. But the only place I've seen pickled onions, Aero bars, and Vegemite (not recommending eating those together), and I'm sure lots of other goodies that you can't get anywhere in Oklahoma.

If you like British food, it pays to give this place a visit.

It is the only place in the metro where I've been able to find Jaffa Cakes.

I used to frequent the place when located on Classen and they served a nice lunch (soup & sandwiches & jacket potatoes). I miss that !

I love the imported cheeses and Peri-Peri spices.
Recently purchased a Curry sauce from S. Africa that I have yet to use.
Heinz Baked Beans are SO MUCH BETTER than american "pork n beans"
any of the Heinz products are worth trying.

I have noticed when I buy chocolate from the "clearance rack" it is usually expired and has a coat of white. does not affect the taste, just the appearance.
I'm sure by being imported and going from heat to cold can affect that.

Schweppes Bitter Lemon is delish!
sorta a lemonade/club soda that makes a fine Vodka cocktail!

The owner Lynda is very nice.
