A legendary band at a legendary shop. Back when tape was fuzzy and the energy was sharp. Squeeze’s songwriting razor-sharp, the presence effortless, the kind of performance that makes everything feel elevated. Good times!

We teamed up with our friends at to celebrate Tartan Day the only way we know how: with waxed jackets, heavy heritage, and enough tea to float a battleship. Whether it’s 1894 or 2026, a well-timed piping session and a dollop of clotted cream are non-negotiable.

Andy Cohen was running dangerously low on his Yorkshire Gold, so he had Tea and Sympathy come on Watch What Happens Live to secure another box. A perfectly reasonable response to a brewing emergency.
If your cupboards are looking equally bleak, we have Christmas covered. Mince pies, British sweets, Christmas crackers, last minute gifts and all the essentials for a proper British Christmas. Order nationwide or visit our West Village shop for all things British.
Thank you for having us on . It was a pleasure to meet Britani Bateman, Natalie McGuire and Marcus Johnson.
And thank you to our fabulous general manager Iain Anderson for demonstrating how a proper cuppa is made.
