Great steak and mushroom pie! Also really fun finding Irn Bru at their grocery/bakery

The fish and chips are delicious! We will definitely go back. There is also a large selection of pastries that I look forward to having. In response to the negative review of safety concerns, I did not find any of this to be true. The staff was completely safe and friendly. Masks were in use, wiping the counters, pens, credit card machines. There is tape on the floor to keep customers distanced. Support this local business, you will not be disappointed! Cheers! read more

We had reserved a table of six for high tea for Mother's Day and very much enjoyed our experience. The food was excellent, and abundant, well priced, and the staff was very responsive to our needs. I am excited to return. I want to say, too, that we had a bit of a mix up around some dietary restrictions. Despite being completely booked they what they could to accommodate these restrictions and we left happy. I just received a call from the owner who apologized for the mixup and offered a partial refund - without any prompting from us. It was very nice of her, and if there was any hesitancy about returning (there was not!), there most certainly isn't now. read more

So glad I stumbled upon this place on my lunch break. The whole vibe is very English as you would expect. The staff are very friendly and prompt. I ordered the bangers and mash with a stout and everything tasted superb. After I had lunch I took home a handful of Lancashire Pasties that were absolutely delicious. Definitely making this a regular stop read more

Perfect tea service at a great price! The staff are lovely, and there's a sundry shop attached where you can find British treats and goods.

Lady working at the restaurant was very nice. Cucumber sandwiches and tea cake were dry, tea was ok , but crumpets, sausage rolls, chips were excellent. Come for those select items, I will be back! read more

Best British restaurant food, bakery goods, imported groceries, and souvenirs in Washington!

I had their fish and chips and it was the best fish and chips I ever had! Can't wait to try their other dishes!

Cute small business. Great, authentic goodies and kind service in the restaurant and the store

Came here to try the English Breakfast. Firstly I asked for earl grey tea and I was given a teapot (4/5 cup size) with 1 teabag which made the tea basically water and it wasn't even earl grey. They replaced it with 2 teabags of earlgrey, so thank you that was perfect. The English breakfast was awful, the sausages were under cooked, a bit mushy inside, the baked beans were not Heinz but American style and the bacon was not English bacon either. I was very disappointed. Service was ok but don't asked if I want Ketchup and HP sauce if you aren't going to bring it back. But they do have a great shop, great pasty's and fresh bakery items, so wasn't a wasted trip. Just change out the baked beans for Heinz, replace the bacon with British style bacon and maybe add some mushrooms and cook the sausages through because they had a great flavor. read more

I'm always a little nervous dining out with friends while I'm trying to eat keto because it can be really tricky to order something that tastes good and is low carb at a lot of places. But I was so pleasantly surprised after my breakfast here! Not only was there enough options on the menu to find something that would fit my diet, it was absolutely delicious. My eggs were cooked exactly to order, and my sausages were so amazing I didn't even miss having toast or beans. In fact, those sausages were so delicious I think about them at least a couple of times a week now. It was an extra happy accident that I forgot my glasses there, because I had to return to retrieve them and I got to discover the shop that I had completely missed that morning! They have an excellent assortment of cheese! If you love cheese, they will have a lot more interesting options than your typical grocer or market and that alone is worth the stop in my opinion. They also had a gorgeous assortment of pastries, which I would have loved to have tried. But that will have to wait for a cheat day. The staff was also very helpful finding my glasses, calling to let me know, and setting them aside for me. I really appreciate it. read more

The British Pantry is a great place to eat and unwind with a friend or loved one, they have indoor or outdoor seating which is lovely when the weather is nice.. they have many food choices during afternoon fare and on the regular menu. It's perfectly priced for what you receive and the staff are lovely! The blueberry custard tart is the shit too. read more

The British Pantry - blueberry custard tart - Bakeries Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I recently came here with my grandfather and mom who both lived in the U.K. For a long time. Grandpa had the bangers and mash which he described as delightful and my mom had fish and chips ( I tried them , they were very good! ) they do the breading well so it isn't too thick or thin. I ate a burger with onion rings and it was very standard. The best part about this place is the store on the side that sells all kinds of British candies I grew up eating but have to order off Amazon at outrageous prices when in the US. The atmosphere was also very fun. Reminiscent of tea time in a British living room. read more

We love The British Pantry! They have a great assortment of foods to choose from in their restaurant, as well as teas, beers, etc. The service has been amazing every time we've gone and the food is already yummy. There's also the shop, which is another amazing reason to go! They have so much to look at and choose from. Tons of delicious and unique foods. Lots of tea cups/pots and even some ready-to-eat sweets! read more

The British Pantry - Black currant tea - Bakeries Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Mixed review here.... The good: The food was pretty tasty. One of our dinners was perfectly done. The other one did not come as ordered, but it took so long to get our food, we didn't say anything because we didn't want to wait any longer. It was still very good. Not so good: There were maybe three tables of diners, but the service was extremely slow. The server was nice but seldom made an appearance to check on us or fill our water glasses. We would've gotten dessert, but she never came back. We had to track her down. One other thing we didn't like was when paying, we didn't have the option to tip less than 18% (unless we wanted to tip zero). It was our second visit here and the experience felt familiar. The high tea menu looked tempting, but I'm not sure I'd want to come back.... read more

Friendly staff, but they look short handed. Ordered the cheese and tomato sandwich, which I would not recommend. It's $13 for a small cold blunt taste sandwich, with only one slice of cheese (and it was falling apart), two slices of tomato and some mayo. $2 extra for swapping the fries to green salad (spring mix with some mayo dressing). end up spending ~$20. And I felt hungry again by the time I stepped out. read more

The british pantry comprises of a small convenience shop with treats and a few british groceries along side some tea sets. In here you'll also find a variety of baked goods which are absolutely my favorite. Sausage rolls, meat pies, sweet pies, custard pies and more! They also are attached to a british restaurant that serves fish and chips and some other british favorites. The staff has always been nice and friendly. Sometimes they run out of the popular pies by mid-day. I recommend calling ahead for large orders if you want to guarantee availability of certain things read more

I really am surprised that I haven't written a review for this place yet. We go here quite often. There is nothing like it anywhere around or even close. With all the changes going on in Redmond and the surrounding areas, we really hope it sticks around. We've never actually eaten in the adjoining restaurant or pub, but we do enjoy the baked goods that are sold in the store. I recommend visiting on Saturday because the baker does most of her baking on Saturday and she is a master of her craft. We have tried most of the items, even the pasties. We buy these for my son as my husband and I don't eat much meat and my daughter doesn't eat "weird" stuff (everything is weird to her). My son absolutely loves them and as far as I can tell, they are authentic. Do try the mini tarts. They are really good especially the mincemeat and plum. We also enjoy buying the imported British goods although we can often get similar items cheaper at Cost Plus. They do have items that are unique to this store only. read more

Amazing to find an authentic British pub in Redmond! Proves that English food can be great if prepared well. Friendly service and great atmosphere. Give it a try, and be sure to get the sausage rolls with some Coleman's mustard. read more

Lovely little pub (family owned), gets very busy and loud. Good for a quick bite of England. Some very authentic choices. Love the shop next door full of British delights - boy has the place grown since the 90's when I first started going there! never fails to delight! Some day I will try the new places in Bothell and Redmond Ridge. read more

What don't they have? Here's a row of Christmas ornaments from the old homeland. Here are the toffees. The licorices--excuse me...liquorices. The teapots. The tea mugs. The tea cups. The tchotchkes. The tea. The more tchotckes. The shelves looking like they're ready to start teetering. The again with the tchotchkes already. If you judge by the clarity of door signage, this place is like a thrift store. You'll reach the same conclusion when you try to get the latch to stick on closing the door. And when you look at the mismatched shelving units--no two alike!--holding up all the multifarious merchandise. But the stuff for sale clearly delights the expats. Many different accents call out over the counter in both directions. There's a bunch of refrigerated stuff behind the counter that no doubt makes people misty thinking back to the dear old days of yore back home. I didn't ask what any of it was, but I bet it's probably pretty good even if you've never had it (I probably fall in that category, most likely). I didn't buy anything, but I did try some of the liquorice and it really is good. I tried to convince myself to buy a Scottish Highland Games tea mug but I couldn't quite pull it together. This place is kind of fascinating: just looking at all the different packaging designs makes you feel like you've stepped into an ever-so-slightly different world. Very fun place to visit. read more

My husband and I have been eating at the Pantry for the past 18 months, going about once every 6 weeks. I give this place 5 stars, because the staff are always nice and chatty, and we always order the fish and chips, and each time it tastes the exact same. I don't know how they get it right every time. We also order a side of onion rings, which are a huge portion, and very yummy. We have also had the apple pie, and custard. Very comforting food! We always visit the adjoining shop too, and buy some pastries, We have never been disappointed here. read more

Went for brunch. Lancashire pasty was very good. They also bring you HP sauce. It makes everything taste much better. One complain I have is I hope they start using fresh cream instead of canned whipped cream. The atmosphere is very British : classical music, photos of the Queen and castles, and the food very good. Its worth a try. read more

Review only for British Pantry Shop. This seems to be the only British shop around (other than getting some items at World Market) and the hubby and I drove to Redmond to check it out. We got very spoiled living for ten years in LA because there are a lot of British shops (I think there is a big expat population) and amazing pubs. We got used to amazing choices in British candy, bangers, sausage rolls, tarts and pies - you name it (we are huge Anglophiles and even went on our honeymoon in London). So while it is not as fabulous as the shops in the LA area - it is stocked with lots of items. Various Bisto flavors, crisps, jam, tea, cookies. They have a bakery section with sausage rolls, meat pies and sweet pies, quiche, and lots of english tarts (jam tarts, bakewell tarts, etc), and shortbread. We took home sausage rolls and a variety of tarts. Very yummy! The shortbread in particular was the best I have ever had. Almost between a shortbread and a soft sugar cookie. DELICIOUS. And from the freezer section we got some English bacon. Sadly they do not have frozen bangers or banger rolls or any frozen meat pies. (Like I said - we got spoiled by the shops in LA!) We will definitely come back! read more

The British Pantry is a specialty grocery of British goods. There is an adjoining restaurant serving British fare, but I came here of course for the baked goodies. A bit of an odd place to have such a store in a Redmond strip mall, but that is what some people say about British cuisine. The bakery is on the grocery side of the store. There I was delighted to see several types of meat pies including steak and mushroom, steak and kidney and chicken curry. There was also all sorts of individual tarts like mince and jam. And then there was even a Canadian bakery treat, nanaimo bars! Though I did not see any crumpets for some reason. After perusing the selection, I decided on the steak and mushroom pie ($3.50), a mince tart ($1.45) and lemon jam tart ($1.35). The steak and mushroom pie was a bit cold so I heated it up a bit in the microwave. The pie was fairly decent. The steak had a bit of a stew texture to it which I enjoyed. It is a decent fresh alternative to those delicious Marie Callender meat pies. And I am interested to see how these differ from those at Australian Pie Company in Burien. As for the tarts, I enjoyed the lemon jam tart well enough but the mince tart was a standout. I always here about the term mincemeat, but did not have any idea of what this was until I tried this tart. Well it is pretty much like a fruit tart but better. It is the spices I think. All in all, I would recommend The British Pantry. Prices here are decent and the goodies are delicious. Aside from The Crumpet Shop, this is the only place I know for British bake fare. Which I think in itself makes it a worth a visit for those looking for an alternative to Frenchified and Asian pastry. read more

Score! I only just found this place a week ago but me and my husband have allready been back to eat-in twice, and i have been back twice to pick up pasties from the bakery. Pasties rule! I felt all geeky when i saw the word pasty cause i went "Ooo! I remember how Cho Chang said it in Harry Potter so I know the right way to say it!" Obviously if this is how i know how to say pasty then my exposure to British culture is somewhat limited. The Lancashire pasty is super-bomb. Meaty-potatoey-buttery-crusty goodness. It is the only entree i have had so far cause it's so addictive. I'll get sick of it eventually, just gotta burn out first. The chips are also really yummy, as is the fresh fruit. The place is so cute. I kinda feel like I'm joining Rick Steve's on a trip into the British countryside. Must go back and try something besides the Lancashire pasty. read more

I came with a friend having high hopes about this place, coming back since two years ago. Given the amount of reservations they had today, we were lucky enough to get a table to eat lunch within 10 minutes upon arrival. Unfortunately, the service was very lackluster for the following reasons: A. We waited about 15 minutes to order our food. There were only two servers working, so, understandably they have a lot to juggle. However, it would have been nice to have been told that beforehand that service was going to be slower than usual. That's just courtesy. I've never had to get out of my seat to flag someone to take our order, but I did just that, and the server (they weren't wearing a name tag but has lots of tattoos) made eye contact with me, then walked passed me like I didn't exist. B. When we got our food, they messed up my order, then the server made it seem like it was my fault because she said that I said I wanted the ham and cheese quiche but pointed to the Royal Tea selection, instead of the Emperor Tea selection where the quiche was under. Basically she made it seem like I purposefully mixed up my order when I actually did say I wanted the Emperor Tea selection. She was like, next time you want the quiche, you need to say "Emperor" and not "Royal". I was like "ok fine whatever" even though I was certain I said Emperor. She even asked me what kind of quiche I wanted. Again, they were short staffed and very busy so it is likely that she's balancing a lot and doesn't have a good memory in the moment. But I did not appreciate being lectured on how to order stuff on the menu like a child. C. No waters were brought to us in the beginning. Had to ask multiple times. D. They did not bring out the cream and jam for our crumpets or milk for our tea. Little mistakes but still listing them on here. E. Waited an additional 15 minutes to get our bill. I am rating this experience a 2/5 because the good thing was the quiche. And I feel bad for the staff being understaffed and I do believe they are doing the best they can. However, given the mistakes today and the treatment I received from the server in that one instance, I will not be eating here for a while. read more

Great service by hostess/waitress. Stilton burger with pomme frites substituted for chips was excellent. Cheeseburger also delicious. Very buttery and good clam chowder. Enjoyed smoked salmon appetizer and fish and chips. Everything was amazing! The store was also very cool. Also, pro tip: get the skinny fries aka pomme frites. read more

I love the British Pantry! I've been here a few times with groups, and we were very well taken care of. They did separate checks for a group of 10, THAT IS AWESOME! I don't think I have seen that anywhere- I really appreciate places that will do that for you. We all tipped very well. Anyway, most importantly: THE FOOD. Everything I've ever had here was pretty great. The venison starter is tender and comes with a yummy sweet sauce. The cheese plate is always a hit. Every type of pie and pasty is delicious- though my favorite is the steak and kidney, especially since I don't know of any other place to get this. On nom nom. The foods shop next door is great too, tons of fun stuff to choose from! read more

This place is a treasure. They have everything you could want for an authentic British experience- groceries, gifts, delicious fresh baked goods, a pub and a full restaurant with SO much character. The best part is the people. I enjoyed everyone I encountered there. So much personality. Please support this business. It's unique and so special- believe me, just go and try the "chips"! read more

This review is for the grocery shop area, which has the best selection of UK products that I've seen. Of course everything is more expensive than it would be in the UK, but not unreasonably so. Most items are the same price or cheaper than Amazon and you don't have to wait for several weeks for delivery like you do with Amazon. The sausage rolls and crumpets are legit. read more

The British pantry and I are in a relationship. We have been friends for years but I think I needed the reminder today. I felt like I returned home after being in the drought. The bangers and mash is my old standby and I added the Harp beer for a little extra something special. The portions are enough to feed two and please do yourself a favor and try one of their scratch made pies. They are truly something special. If you find yourself in Redmond for a day or a lifetime, don't let this little gem fade into the background. Their wares are quite spectacular and worthy of a stop for a meal. High tea beckons but the rest of the menu doesn't disappoint either. There is always more visits ahead to try everything on the menu. It's a good thing for this square. read more

Come here for the best apple pie in the galaxy...seriously! And have some fish and chips with it. And a martini. But you'll have to remind the waitress to garnish it with 2 nice, plump olives. Came here for dinner at first to eat in the bar, but this place was packed on a Friday night. (Will have to try to make it here earlier next time). So we walked over to the Neville's side and enjoyed a less noisy, but no less ambient, cocktail and dinner. I started with a dirty martini which was not as dirty as I've had in the past and it came ungarnished so I had to wave the waitress down special to get them. I had the fish and chips, which were not greasy and came with nice steak fries. And for dessert, I had to have the apple pie which had this Trefoil-like crust and was served with two triangular slabs of a creamy, sweet vanilla ice cream. Dessert blew my mind! Our server was very cordial and I had a great time with my 2 dinnermates. The menu prices were outstanding. I'll be moving away from this area and don't know how soon I will be back, but I am thinking that a raid of the apple pies in the bakery are a must before I go. read more

Not a bad British food place... service is decent... food is so so. I am not a huge British food fan because British food is just plain and boring. The British Panty does had a good selection of the pie desert. We had a sample platter and tried 6-7 different type of dessert pies. Our favorite is the berry pie. Probably won't come back to this place, but you should give this a try if you haven't! read more

Love the British Pantry...Thank You Paula for taking care of us....

I missed the lunch, because they put me at the end of the line, despite there was no one in line, when I came in. I came to the shop first and bought some pastries there. Then I decided to have lunch at the restaurant and went to the cashier desk to ask, if they could serve me for about 20-30 min, not longer, as I should be in time at the daycare to pick up the child. When I was going to the cashier desk from the shop, there was no one near the front door of the restaurant, so I was the first one. I looked inside and saw several free tables, each one for 2 people. I waited for several minutes, finally the lady came to the desk, told me that it will not take long to have lunch, and asked me to go back to the front door (there's a small space there, where they usually wait in line). When we came there, there was a family with a baby and a couple waiting. The lady asked me to sit and wait, and despite that I came in first, immediately took the family inside (she called their names, smiled, and apparently they knew each other). Then she returned right away and took the couple inside. About 10 min more passed and she didn't show up. I understood that it will not be enough time for me to have lunch anyway, or I would gulp down the meal, that was not my purpose, so I just got up and went to the daycare to be in time for the pick up. read more

Been coming here since 1978 with my mom when Doreen then Doreen and Mavis ran the business . Came in today waited on by a girl with long blond hair she was ok. My 86 year old ordered pies sausages at the counter. Turned around grabbed some biscuits etc off the shelves the girl said that's ok I'll leave that at the counter. Came back 3 minutes later. Paula ( dark hair tatoos)yelled loudly and aggressive at my elderly mother in front of customers told her there are plenty of baskets you should carry it with you. DONT let it happen again. When Jane was there this nastiness wouldn't of happened. Maybe you observe her behavior in future she will loose you business. Hopefully she is temporary staff she shouldn't be allowed near customers. If the owner had been on the floor at the moment I would of discussed it with her then. I tried writing owner privately by email she did not respond read more

3 Lions Pub was packed, so we walked over to Nevilles (restaurant that is part of British Pantry) for dinner. They share a kitchen and the same fantastic potato crisps. If you like English cuisine, I believe you'll like Nevilles. Repeating because it is important: If you like English cuisine, I believe you'll like Nevilles. (We're not big fans ourselves, but do see it as solid fare - similar to how I view my hometown upper US Midwest food.) Was an overall good experience. FOOD: 3.0 - My wife had fish and chips and rated it a 3.0. (cod). - I was pleasantly surprised to see a goat curry special and had it. Very nice, and spicy. 3.5. - Side salad was typical US Midwest iceberg lettuce, firm tomato slice, and a couple of cucumber slices. In Pac NW, we are used to more diverse salads. 2.0. - Cheese plate. Three English cheeses, crackers, apple slices, and fruit. Seemed to be all cow's milk. 2.5. We also had glasses of red wine. Fine. I have been here in the past and had bangers and mash; it was solid and satisfying. SERVICE: 3.5. The young blond women who served us was very attentive and never kept us waiting. AMBIANCE: 3.5. I did notice that when the weather is nice they offer specials on beers to imbibe on the patio. Might be worth checking out with co-workers sometime, especially if 3 Lions is packed. The foods and knick-knacks offered for sale in the attached British Pantry are fun to browse. We didn't purchase anything, but the canned "Vegetarian Haggis" spontaneously awoke a strong mixed feeling of curiosity and "huh?/ugh". I need to go back and get some. read more

A once in a lifetime expereince, never more than once, but it's worth checking-out. I wandered in on a Satruday afternoon interested in a cup of tea and a snack. I waited by the 'wait to be seated' sign for what felt like 10 minutes. It was probably only 2 minutes, but in the company of a baby-shower party screaching out phrases like this"And then I like goaes no, and she goes 'yea' and he goes awesome' etc, the time certainly stretched out. Eventually I caught the eye of the staff and asked her if I could anticipate getting a seat within the next 5 mins, she looked shocked to be asked such a direct question and replied yes, that they were busy with the Baby shower (also unseated). The food was well below par by British standards. The service was spot-on, just as I remember it, and one thing I love about living in America. For example, this is me trying to order: Wendy: can I have the ploughmans without the pork pie Server: (stares at Wendy silently) Wendy: I don't like pork (feels obliged to explain) Server: You don't want the ploughmans Wendy: "oh, can't I have the ploughmans without the Pork pie?" (I'm not used to being told that I dont want what I've asked for) Server: you should have one of the Salads Eventually after some painful negotiation with the server I ordered a salad with the following sides: bread; cheese; pickle; pickled-onions. What does that add up to? A ploughmans without a pork-pie. Whta I'd initially asked for. The Server made me order all of the individual items rather than 'remove' the pork-pie from the Plougmans on menu. How pedantic is that?! When the waitress left she returned again a few minutes later because she forgot the specifics of my order while on the way to deliver it to the kitchen. Priceless!! It's just like being in Britain - except the food was not as decent. The tea? House brew was a bag in a pot, no supplementary hot water, no top-up offered, it did come with a decent sized jug of milk without my having to ask. It's not worth coming here for the Tea read more
