Ocean City Block Party!




Greetings from the British Connection shop- formerly located in Historic Smithville- now located in downtown Absecon.




As you may know, I have spent many years in Ocean City and I love it there! THIS Saturday is their annual Fall Block Party and it is really fabulous! The party is held between 5th and 14th streets and also on the Tabernacle Church grounds. There will be well over 400 crafters and booths, live music and tons of yummy foods... Not to mention the other great shops that line Asbury Ave. There will be something for everyone there- so if you are off Saturday- GO!




On your way to, (or from) ,Ocean City, stop by the shop for some great specials! Saturday only, we are selling Flake bars for the special price of only $1. each, and all British Sodas, Crisps and Cadbury bars will be 10% off. While supplies last...




Don't forget to bring a cooler for our Meat Pies, Bangers and Aunt Bessies frozen Roast Potatoes and Roast Parsnips etc...




See you soon!




All the Best

Greetings from the British Connection, your one source shop for British Foods, Fine Cheese, Tea, Gifts and MORE!




It has been very exciting sourcing new and wonderful products for our Absecon location!


One of our new favorites is Orgran Rice and Corn Pasta. I have noticed recently that so many people are allergic to wheat and Gluten. Specifically, Scottish people and those of Scottish decent seem to be afflicted with this allergy at an alarming rate.

This Australian pasta product is :

-Gluten Free

-Wheat Free

-Dairy Free

-Egg Free

-Yeast Free

-GMO Free

-Vegan

-Easy to digest

PLUS, it is quite tasty, and really tastes like proper Pasta! So stop in and give it a go!


Another new and delicious item is "Grab an O". These cute little bags are filled with delicious olives, and I love, love, love Olives! This product of France comes in several varieties including- Picholine, Green with Provencal Herbs and Nicoise-Coquillos. Grab a bag for a snack to go, or bring some home to have with your favorite cheese plate. So chic, they also make a great addition to any gift basket.


Stop in today and see what's new!


All the Best,

Barbara and Dave
