Stittsville sits where Ottawa’s west end gives way to the Valley, and that suits us rather well. This is a community that appreciates things made properly — and proper is what we do. Steak pies with real depth of flavour, sausage rolls wrapped in pastry that flakes the way it should, scones that don’t need dressing up, and a counter stocked with bangers, back bacon and the sort of bakes that taste of somewhere else entirely. For British and Irish families across Ottawa west, walking through our door feels less like shopping and more like coming home.
The Ottawa Valley has deep Scottish roots, and our Stittsville shop honours them all year round. Haggis, black pudding, white pudding and Lorne sausage are made to the standards of our butchery tradition — one that traces back to Crawford’s legacy in Niagara. Come January, this shop becomes something of a Burns Night stronghold: haggis leaves the counter by the armful, and half the Burns suppers in Ottawa west seem to start right here. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
We’re a family-owned Ontario company, and we’ve been at this since our first shop opened in Cambridge in 2010 — nine shops now, more than a thousand five-star reviews and a shelf’s worth of awards along the way. In Stittsville that heritage shows up in the details: aisles of imported British groceries, from proper tea and biscuits to crisps, chocolate and the sauces no fry-up should be without. It’s a small piece of Britain, kept honest and kept local.
Sitting on Main Street North, the shop is an easy stop for anyone across Stittsville, Kanata and the west side of Ottawa, with parking so you can nip in, browse the counter and take your time. It’s a natural add-on to the weekly shop or a quick detour on the commute home.
Worth the drive
Plenty of our regulars are just up the road in Kanata, calling in for sausage rolls still warm from the oven or a steak pie to save the evening’s cooking. From Nepean and Barrhaven, the Saturday run west has become a bit of a ritual — a boot-full of back bacon, black pudding and Heinz beans for the weekend fry-up, with a few scones and a bar of proper chocolate finding their way into the basket besides.
Further out, the Valley towns keep us busy too. Folk drive in from Carp and Richmond to stock the freezer with pies, while Almonte and Arnprior families — many with Scottish roots of their own — make the trip for haggis, square sausage and the imported groceries they can’t find closer to home. Come Burns Night, Christmas or Easter, those drives get more frequent, and we make sure they’re always worth it.
In Stittsville
Hearty meat pies made the way they should be — deep, savoury and filling, from steak and gravy to chicken. The sort of pie that turns a quick supper into a proper one, ready to heat at home or feed a full table.
Flaky pastry wrapped around properly seasoned filling, in beef and pork. They’re one of the first things regulars ask for, and they rarely make it past the car — grab a few extra, they go fast.
This is the reason many West Ottawa Scots make the drive. Fresh haggis slices, black pudding, Scottish sliced (square) sausage and fruit pudding — the savoury oatmeal and beef pudding that anchors a real fry-up — cut and stocked at the counter.
The imported shelves cover the everyday and the nostalgic: proper tea, biscuits for dunking, tinned classics, sauces, sweets and chocolate you thought you’d have to smuggle back in a suitcase.
Hosting a Burns supper, a rugby afternoon or a big family Sunday? Come in and talk to us about larger orders of pies, rolls and Scottish meats so nobody leaves hungry.
Fresh from our counters
Chicken and sweet leek in a gentle, creamy gravy.
Diced chicken and soft, sweet leeks in a smooth chicken gravy, under a lid of golden short pastry. Chicken and leek is a gentle British classic - the leeks bringing a mild, oniony sweetness that lifts the whole pie. Homely and quietly special.
A proper hot curry, wrapped in pastry.
Diced chicken and vegetables in a hot vindaloo-spiced curry, wrapped in golden short pastry. The curry pie is a beloved British takeaway-shop tradition - all the warmth and heat of a good vindaloo in a handheld, bakeable pie. Not for the faint-hearted.
The full fry-up, baked into one handheld pie.
The full British fry-up in a pie: sausage, British-style back bacon, Heinz baked beans and egg, all baked into golden short pastry. Everything you love about a proper morning plate, made portable and warming. A genuine crowd-pleaser at any hour.
Creamy cheese, onion and potato in golden pastry.
A creamy blend of cheese, onion and potato baked into golden short pastry - simple, rich and completely satisfying. A meat-free favourite with real comfort-food credentials, as good hot from the oven as it is cold the next day.
Minted lamb, potato and turnip - Sunday roast in a pie.
Ground lamb in a rich, minted gravy with potato and turnip, sealed in golden short pastry. Lamb and mint is a quintessentially British pairing - the fresh mint cutting through the richness of the lamb just as it does at a Sunday roast. Hearty and deeply traditional.
A whole roast chicken dinner, stuffing and all, in a pie.
Diced chicken with peas, carrots and Paxo sage-and-onion stuffing in a smooth chicken gravy, under golden short pastry. It is a full roast chicken dinner folded into one pie - the stuffing bringing that unmistakable Sunday-lunch aroma. Comfort on a plate.
