Greetings from The British Connection Shop of Absecon, NJ!!
WOW! It has been a year since we left the sleepy town of Historic Smithville and re-opened in our new Absecon location. What a year it has been...full of new challenges, surprises, the joys of a new beginning and a fresh outlook. Many, many thanks to all of you who have supported us in our new location, and thanks also to our new friends that we have met over this past year.
Last Saturday we held a party at the shop to celebrate 8 years in the British & Gourmet Foods business, and to commemorate 1 year in Absecon. Thanks to all who came out and special thanks to Jeanie, Russ and Rodger of "The Galloway Strathspey & Reel Conspiracy" for entertaining us with beautiful traditional Scottish music.
All The Best!

Almost a Year has passed!
Greetings from the British Connection shop! Your one stop source for British and Gourmet Foods and Fine Cheese!
It has been almost a year since we closed up our Historic Smithville location and moved to downtown Absecon! What a year it has been, full of challenges and triumphs, all the while dealing with a sluggish economy.
It is our mission to provide you with the best, freshest and most delicious and unique foods, while keeping prices affordable, and I think we have succeeded! We have kept our overhead to a minimum, and have not had to raise prices...and our new Cheese case is filled with speciality Cheeses with a price point of $3.99- $6.75 per quarter pound.
Our customers have particularly enjoyed our mini cafe', where one can enjoy a piping hot pot of tea with biscuits for only $2.99...and drink from a bone china cup! It has been really lovely to see so many people bring in their little ones for a cup of tea and a chat.
We encourage you to sign up for our TWITTER or FACEBOOK for special offers and updates:
We will be having an anniversary party soon, watch for it!
All the Best,
Barbara & Dave

20....OH TEN!
Greetings from the British Connection shop of Absecon, New Jersey USA!
Almost a year has passed since we made the move from Historic Smithville to our new Absecon location! It is amazing how many of you are just now finding us here, and I am so thankful for your tenacity and resourcefulness. It has also been wonderful to see so many new faces as well- we could not have asked for a better 1st year here.
As we started our annual inventory count, I was really surprised at how many new items we have brought in! Our new authentic English Pork Pies and Kippers have had rave reviews... Of course we added over 20 varieties of Cheese, and add to that all of the accompaniments for cheese. Carr's biscuits, Mondovino biscuits for Cheese, Jules & Sharpie Chutney...and sooo much more! It has also been really lovely that many of you have enjoyed a pot of tea in the new cafe' area...
Moving the shop was stressful, but it was well worth the effort and the risk. Now we enter a new year AND a new decade, and look forward to further evolving and making our shop even better.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
All the Best,
Barbara & Dave
