Anyone near Newcastle?/Where Can I find Canadian Food?

Hi All. Just moved into Wallsend, just outside of Newcastle last week to be with my Geordie husband. On a spouse visa. Looking for familiar faces, and familiar foods and products.

Does anyone one know where to find Norh American food products? I am having a hard tome. Specifically rach dressing. Does anyone know where to find it in the Uk , or at least online?

I don't know about Newcastle... but in Covent Garden in London, there's a Canadian pub, and down the street (2 minutes away) there's a Canadian shop that sells a bunch of things you won't find in supermarkets here in the UK.

For info about the pub: The Maple Leaf

they have a few canadian beers, which oddly enough was good enough to make me feel a little more at home.

by he way, the Canada Shop is across the street from the Australia Shop... (also listed somewhere in that coventgardenlife website)

Hi Geordie

Try www.Canadianfavourites.com

It's a website run by Canadians living in Florida who got a craving for all things Canadian. If the food you want isn't on there, you can request it and they will do their best. It's a little on the expensive side, but if you have any Canadian friends who want to order and split the shipping cost with you, it's worth it. I personally am in emergency need of Good Host Iced Tea. I have a rotten cold and it's the only thing that helps. I ran out this morning, so I hope they hurry. Have fun across the pond.

Hi. I realize that you have already been told about the Canada Shop in Covent garden, but what you haven't been told is that they will ship all of their products (except bottles of beer) to where ever in the world you are. All you need is a credit card, or Switch (I don't think they take Solo), visit their website, and place your order.

I use it frequently, and sometimes they haven't fot what I want, but most of the time they do. I woud definately recommend them. Their website is: www.canadashop.uk.net (i think!)
