What Makes Homepride Curry Sauce so Traditionally British?
There are many varieties of curry available but Homepride Classic Curry Sauce features the fruity flavour that characterizes British curry. Homepride Classic Curry Sauce is made with onion, pineapple, tomato and sultanas. It has just the right amount of bite to give your tastebuds a treat.

Clotted Cream, Scones and English Tea for the Jubilee?

What a splendid opportunity to indulge yourself, family and friends with an opulent English High Tea. Celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in grand style.

Make a batch of fresh scones (we have Greens Scone Mix in case you don't want to make them from scratch) then lather on the strawberry jam and real Devon clotted cream. Serve with Yorkshire Gold Tea (which is still on offer for $3 off its regular price) and voila, you have a perfect afternoon tea!

Imported English Clotted Cream is selling out fast at Blighty's. Store in the fridge until September and use within 5 days of opening. And it tastes oh-so-good.
