★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loving the huge range of UK snacks this store has! My friend was after Walkers crisps flavours that are really hard to source but I found them here and so many other goodies! Definitely recommend coming here if you want to try some new foods or grab a lotto ticket.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing family owned business, just a stroll from Orewa beach. The owners are enthusiastic and cater for individual customer needs. I am able to request all my favourites and then am personally contacted when they arrive. Amazing service with a great community feel!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fabulous, family owned business conveniently located at the heart of Orewa town. The UK grocery range is huge (managed to snag Monster Munch and Bisto gravy!) and the lovely owners are happy to take orders and hold my favourites for me. There are also NZ groceries, magazines, and greeting cards, it's a great one stop shop. And I have had huge luck with the Lotto in this shop! Will definitely make this my regular!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Almost every product is out of date, they clearly don’t try the products that are out of date as they are inedible, they need to realise that they need to just take the loss on those products rather than scamming their customers. will not be returning to this store. Also $5.95 for a small bag of out of date quavers

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Consistently terrible here. All products are past the best before dates, this wouldn’t be a problem if they are a few months past their dates but they are 12+ months in some cases.
I purchased some hula hoops that were 18+ months past the best before! This was partly my fault as I didn’t realise the date was 2020 and not 2021 but the fact these are even on sale is disgusting!! They were inedible, soggy and a complete waste of money.
Not only is almost every item disgusting and well past it’s best before date, they are extortionately expensive!!! I understand that with import costs, the products will be considerably more expensive in NZ as opposed to buying them in the UK but when you are charging triple the UK price for a product 12 months past the best before date, this is just unacceptable.
To put the cherry on top of the cake, the staff in the store are extremely rude and this is widely spoken about across the community here.
My partner entered the store a couple of days ago and was questioned about not wearing her mask. She explained to have a medical exemption (as she has a medical condition preventing her wearing a mask) the owner would not accept this exemption despite the fact she has proof that it has been sent by the ministry of health themselves!!! This behaviour is outrageous and discriminatory. He refused to serve her without a mask even though she showed the exemption. I have reported this to the ministry of health and Citizens Advice who have informed me that it is something they are taking extremely seriously and will be following up with the owner.
Safe to say I won’t be shopping here again. There are plenty of British shops across Auckland selling much better quality products that are nowhere near as past their best before date and also a fraction of the cost that they charge here!!
I await the usual response from the owner telling me that they ask if you are ok with the dates etc etc as I have read the previous reviews on here. It really appears that the owner does not care about negative reviews and only makes excuses in their responses to invalidate the customers concerns. Maybe the owner should take note of these reviews and aim to do better.
