Default ordering British food online

There are some British foods I really miss, namely Marmite, Golden Syrup and HP sauce.
Can anyone recommed a reliable website where I can get these things delivered?
I need recommendations as I placed an order from a certain company only for them to go bust :curse:
I have a friend who will send out things ocassionally, but only at her convenience and not neccesarily the best packaging as I found out today with the oozing Marmite jar I received stuck to the envelope (Well it had travelled half way round the world )

Try this http://stores.churchillsgroceries.com
I ordered from them and the service was excellent.
You don't say were you are, but here in Florida, Publix, Sweetbay and Walmart sell the stuff you want.
If you fancy pork pies or Cornish Pasties try the 4 and 20 pie company, they are in Sarasota (just google) again very quick delivery.

Do you have a World Market store near you? The reason I ask is that I can get Marmite, Golden Syrup and HP Sauce in the one by us. They also do a small selection of chocolate and a few biccies.

Not sure where you are but....Miejer (MI), Kroger, Central Market, World Market, Brookshire's ..you pay a price and you have to watch the sell by dates, but it's well worth it fi you need that special "something" although why the hell you'd want marmite is beyond me

You don't say where you are but Super Giant and Wegmans sell a lot of that stuff. World Market too but you have to check the dates.

A little aside here....Super Target has started selling their own line (Archers Farm?) curry sauces (in jars) and samosas (frozen section) to add to their Naan bread and curry flavoured crisps and also Ginger Loaf..not quite as good as Mr. Kiplings but not bad and makes a lovely ginger and pear trifle

I am on the Big Island, Hawaii, Hilo and they don't sell any of these things in any of the shops, Walmart included. I have looked extensively.
Thanks for your links

Depending on where you live, some Shaws have great selection, same for Hannafords...some locations are shite though...

Amazon is the best bet, especially for PG tips.

http://britishdelights.com/ That's a good site to get stuff from though, well if your in the north east.

Kroger sells the 3 mentioned at the start of the thread over in Durham. The bigger ones. Also, Whole Foods does down the road. So there are places in NC that do!
