Finding Trinidadian Products in the UK

Finding Trinidad and Tobago Products in the UK

It can be hard to leave the country you have spent your whole life and start a new life in a new country with different weather, food and culture. The culture in Trinidad and Tobago is very rich with much of life revolving around food, music, family and friendship. Trinidadians love to Lime and when the move to England the Lime does not stop.

If the move you are making is to a city like London, Birmingham or Manchester for example then you should have no problem to find all of your products you will miss from Trinidad and Tobago. In London you can go to Brixton and get Pumpkin, Cassava, Yam, Chief Products and much more from lots of shops. Walthamstow in North London has 4 shops selling Trinidadian Food and Drink Products.

The problem comes when you move to somewhere more remote. In many small towns around England you can barely get any shops selling Caribbean products. If this is the case you can simply order online from www.easycaribbeanshop.com. They have lots of Trinidadian products imported to the UK. You can even order a cold Carib from their website.

You can also get a massive range of Afro-Caribbean hair products from lots of shops around the bigger cities in the UK. Super Grows has lots of shops scattered around London, which sell brands like Motions, Luster's Pink, Optimum Care and Dark and Lovely. Again if you do not live near a shop you can order online from Easy Caribbean Shop.

Trinidadians love Roti and in Trinidad down every street there is a Roti shop offering Dhal Puri and Paratha. When you move to the UK you do not need to start making your own Roti (unless you want to). You can find lots of Roti Shops around London.

The Trinbago Roti Shop is the place to go for a great tasting, well priced Roti, Bus-Up-Shot, Dhal Puri or even Jamaican style patties. Located just two minutes walk from Herne Hill train station or a 1 minute ride on a 196 Bus from Brixton Tube station. You can call them on 0208 674 2600.

Horizon Foods in Hackney offer a great range of Trinidadian Roti and Curry at great prices. Their address is 1-2 Broadway Market Mews, London, E8 4TS and their telephone number is 020 7275 7273.

Hopefully with some comforts from Trinidad and Tobago you wont miss home too much.
