My only problem with this place was the sticker shock of how much everything cost. $6AUD for a single bottle of root beer is a bit over priced so I could only get 2 bottles instead of a 6-pack.

I included this Dr Candy on the itinerary when I put on about nine twilight chocolate walking tours last summer. I introduced the guests to their delicious gelatine free chocolate rocks. I also ensured there were a few left over for me for the train ride home. The guests got to taste on the spot, as well as take a few more home. Perfect with the Bulgarian chocolate fro-yo across the road. Also love the gluten free lollies. Looking out for the pink and white stripes.

Either show discipline and turn up with $10 in coins and pretend you're enjoying a slightly inflated re-inaction of your visit to the corner shop as a kid OR take the credit card and buy a three figured amount of calorific nostalgia and promise yourself you won't eat it all in a week. If you're a fish crisp connoisseur then this is the place for you: Walkers Prawn Cocktail, Skips or Scampi Fries (which actually smell like Gents toilets but taste great!). You can buy online too!

Screw your markets and bazaars with their aromas of herbs and spices, nothing awakens the senses like the playful crinkle of a monster munch packet or the shine in your eye when the sun catches off the packaging of a Capri Sun (The only place I have found in Australia that stocks them FYI). Expect a friendly greeting from the Welsh lady who's on the counter and get lost in the selection of stuff you'd forgotten you'd missed. Apart from Taste Ireland, which I have also reviewed there is nowhere that I have come across that has as much selection as these guys. While it is mostly sweets and confectionery there is a huge selection of grocery items available too. You name it they pretty much have it. from washing up liquids, to powders, sauces, stuffing, cordials, soft drinks and football merchandise as well. The selection is absolutely massive. if you're missing home and some of your favorite grub pop in and see these guys. It'll be money and time well spent. If you can't make it into the city, they do online ordering too.

If you're homesick and need to get your hands on a packet of Wether's Originals, Mint Humbugs or Licquorice Allsorts, this is the place to go.

Of course, you pay a handsome sum for the chance to eat proper British food (including Marmite), but in my book, it's worth every penny.
