Do you live in the Vega Baja and miss the authentic tastes of the UK? Here at Food & Drink Stores, we know that while the Costa Blanca sunshine is unbeatable, there are certain British classics that local supermarkets simply can’t replace.
As specialists in importing UK brands to Alicante, we have selected the top 10 products that our customers in Dolores, Almoradí, Guardamar, and Catral consider absolute essentials for feeling right at home.
Top 10 British Products from Food & Drink Stores
1. Heinz Baked Beans
The ultimate essential component of a Full English Breakfast. Unlike local versions, imported Heinz Baked Beans have the exact texture and sweetness of the tomato sauce you know and love. A staple in the larders of all residents in the area.
2. Warburtons Toastie White Bread
We bring Warburtons Toastie bread straight to you so your mornings in the Alicante province carry the aroma of home. Its thickness is perfect for the toaster and sturdy enough to hold melted butter without tearing.
3. Richmond Thick Pork Sausages
For many, the famous Richmond Pork Sausages taste just like childhood. Ideal for a British barbecue or a Sunday breakfast on the terrace. You will always find them fresh in our chillers in Catral.
4. Goldenfry Beef Gravy Granules
Sunday isn’t a proper Sunday without a Sunday Roast, and the secret to a perfect roast lies in the gravy. Goldenfry Beef Gravy is a favourite for many of our customers in the Vega Baja due to how easy it is to make and its traditional flavour. It is the indispensable final touch to smother your meat and veg, achieving that thick, savoury texture that defines British cooking. An essential product that you won’t usually find in large Spanish supermarkets, but one we always keep in stock at FD Stores for your family meals in Alicante.
5. PG Tips Pyramid Tea Bags
There is no proper “cuppa” without PG Tips tea. Their pyramid bags allow the tea to flow better, delivering the strong flavour that tea lovers on the Costa Blanca look for during their tea break.
6. HP Brown Sauce
The original HP Brown Sauce is the sacred condiment for any bacon or sausage sarnie. At Food & Drink Stores, we make sure we always have stock of this British icon in the Vega Baja.
7. McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits
What would a cuppa be without a biscuit to dunk? McVitie’s Digestives are the ultimate favourite thanks to their texture. Whether original or chocolate-covered, they are a best-seller in our imported biscuit aisle.
8. Monster Munch Pickled Onion
When it comes to snack time, Monster Munch pickled onion-flavoured claws are a favourite snack for kids and adults alike. A unique flavour that only a specialist shop like ours can offer you in Alicante.
9. Marmite
“Love it or hate it”, Marmite is an absolute must-have. This yeast extract is one of the products that most customers from San Felipe Neri and the surrounding areas come specifically to our shop to find.
10. Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar
We round off the ranking with the UK’s favourite chocolate. The smoothness of Cadbury Dairy Milk is unmistakable and the perfect treat for any resident on the Mediterranean who needs a little taste of Britain.
