Our Story -Since 2002

What started as Bramptins in 2002 is now UK Grocer - bringing the best of British to New Zealand. We moved online in 2017 to keep great British products accessible across the country. Today, Tracey Clark continues that tradition — with the same passion for quality and the same love of a proper cuppa. Visit us in store at Browns Bay — or order online for postage around New Zealand with click-and-collect available.

Our Story

Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane with us, as you stroll through our online store and see many of the goodies you thought you had left behind. Whilst we've been open for over 10 years, the UK Grocer developed into a fantastic brand by Lorraine Firth. In October 2019, Paul and Tracey Clark took over the business from Lorraine to carry on delivering an excellent service to the North Shore community and beyond.

In store, OnLine Courier Delivery Service or Click'n'Collect (May 2020)

Our objective is to be the “Online and One Stop Shop” of branded British grocery products. Our emphasis is to supply you with a comprehensive range of UK foods and products at highly competitive prices.

We look forward to welcoming you to our store.
