Steveston’s Best of British — Local services in Richmond

I used to come here in it's previous incarnation to get the currant squares. Steveston's Best of British is just as charming. Mostly food with a few sundry items. The jam selection is wonderful with some I have not seen anywhere else. The M&S (Marks and Spencer) Sicilian Lemon Curd looked great with just minimal ingredients, but there are a number of different curds. Next there is a freezer with many packaged meats and sausages. A while back I got some black pudding to make a 'Full English' breakfast. Then there are a lot of spreads and sauces (my favourite is the Heinz Salad Cream).

Great on it's own or in cocktails. So if it is for you or a gift or just nostalgic, I am sure you will find...

This compact corner market is practically bursting with jars of sauces, spices, spreads (Vegemite! Marmite!), jellies, meat pies, canned veg, cookies, candies, chips, crackers, and teas (but of course, darling!), as well as a sizeable assortment of beverages from the far-flung isles of the United Kingdom. If you're in need of a snack, look for the Union Jack!

Additionally, this shop also stocks and maintains the free community pantry for those in need, just outside. Big props to them for this generous and...
