Partridges

Best place to buy American foods in London. I always go for Ementhal cheese, big marshmallows etc

Aunt Jemima. Kraft Mac & Cheese (not the powdered mess). Hot Tamales. A-​1. Skippy AND JIF Smooth Peanut Butter. Anyone who knows me knows the importance of these things in London.
My friends & I scoped this place thoroughly & the prices are not for the faint hearted and the area is Chelsea so the vibe is just what you think but I didn’t care. I’m coming back to this market with a fist full of cash and an empty stomach.
Quality products, good service. Clean and well laid out. Good sectioning of items from various places.
This is a winner!

Partridges is quite a delightful supermarket in the already fun neighborhood of Sloane Square! They have an assortment of meats, cheeses, breads, random canned foods, sweets and chocolates, breakfast foods, drinks, hygienic goods, and wines. It is not overly expensive either and I really enjoyed the little restaurant they have inside where you can grab a coffee while you wait for their delicious croissants to finish baking. They have a limited selection of vegetables though.
The staff are helpful and have a smile on their face. I highly recommend this as a supermarket for both locals and visitors.

A nice place which sells high quality food and produce (a lot of it is Italian). However quality varies according to what you buy and it’s expensive. It’s right across the Saatchi Gallery and offers great snacking and meal options to fill your tummy and enjoy the exhibition nearby. The chocolate cannoli I got were Sicilian big and authentic but sadly, not fresh. The salad of the day which consisted of quinoa, millet, parsley and fresh veggies was awesome, my boyfriend got chicken basque but wasn’t impressed. All the cooked food is take away only.

Closest market to our apartment rental. Expensive and slim choices. Plus, they must get things stolen all the time because they have security guard watching you with a creepy eye that makes me feel guilty just for being there!!! A selection of stuff from the US is funny. Lots of jars of stuff, too.

Partridges offers old fashioned service with a wonderful selection of foods from hot roasted potatoes through to Chelsea Flower chocolates — as for their Christmas offerings — very traditional and worth the expense.
This shop far outshines Fortnums (very touristy these days) and we always spend a decent sum of money when visiting this store.
The staff have a great customer ethos. They offered a drink and assistance to a customer with a coughing fit.

I often head down to Partridges for their extensive selection of imported foods. In particular they have several aisles of American food that can quench any expat craving. Prices are rather high, but when you’re in the mood for Jiffy corn muffins, you don’t have many options in London.
For Thanksgiving they even have a special section with everything from tinned pumpkin and condensed milk, to stove top stuffings and jet-​puffed marshmallows.
My only complaint is they focus on the very sugary and mass produced brands — Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima, Nestle Tollhouse, Crisco, Pam Cooking Spray… who really craves Crisco or Pam!?! Nevertheless, do not fear; they also have imports from Italy, South Africa, Australia, etc. as it’s truly a global offering.
In short, Partridges is a great higher end market (similar to the food hall at Selfridges), and worth a visit if you’re looking to satisfy your expat cooking and specific confectionery needs or want some top of the line produce and deli items.
And as a major plus, unlike most other grocers, Partridges is open late… every day, including Sundays! That alone is worth 4 stars.

Yes it’s expensive, but most of the stuff isn’t readily available here in the UK so you’re also paying for the importing.
This is American heaven!
With thanksgiving coming up very shortly, I was in need of some fine ‘Merican ingredients for my dinner party. There is so much here, don’t be worried about not being able to find anything for thanksgiving, just come here.
Also. If you have a serious weakness for Kraft Mac n Cheese, trust me, this is the place to go. You can find the normal box of Mac n cheese at most big Tescos, but this place has the deluxe boxes!!! (Anyone with a love for the artificial cheezy goodness like me knows exactly how crucial that last statement is)!!!
Yes it full of tourists and always crowded, but don’t be put off by it, it’s so worth it!
I mean, I may or may not be currently snacking on the tootsie roll and gushers I bought there recently.

The finest food market in the UK. Visit on a Saturday and you’ll find some of the London’s and, therefore, the world’s finest food from Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee and sugar cane juice to cured meats and gourmet popcorn.
I love it here and it’s surprisingly good value in spite of its upmarket and distinguished location.
See you there?

Well, yes, this is a posh food shop. A food hall, an epicurean market one could say. It has turned up on Nigella Lawson’s TV shows as she goes to shop at her ‘local’ just pick up a few things. And while it is an upmarket local Chelsea grocer, it is welcoming and gives off the feel of a village shop.
There are delicious prepared foods, a solid selection of world wines, and a very respectable cheese counter. Yet it is not too posh that it doesn’t stock the basics like milk and butter though you will be able to find a nice French butter next to the local.
Saturdays Partridges sponsors a Saturday market on the Duke of York Square which has selections of world foods, cheese mongers, bakers and seafood. Family friendly and a great way to spend a Saturday morning or afternoon.
Whether you are picking up a pint of milk or a pint of foreign beer, you’ll find it at this cozy store.

If you’re looking for high priced and imported goodies that just aren’t available in your local Tesco Express or Sainsbury’s Local, then Partridges is the place for you!
Attention Americans! Are you feeling a little homesick? Would some stuff from «The Colonies» cheer you up? How about a box of Lucky Charms? Or Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup? Maybe a box of Stove Top Stuffing will make you feel like you’re back home? Because they have it all here, just like back at the Piggly Wiggly. Only five times the price. Maybe it’s medicine?
But not just canned and boxed groceries, they have a deli counter that is loaded with all sorts of yumminess that makes for a heck of picnic. But why picnic when they have tables just outside shaded from the sun. Coq au Vin, Steamed Asparagus, even a big tub of Taramasalata.
Delicious, but very very expensive. If money is no object, then here’s your shop!

A place where you can find good imported stuff, at not so good prices. But the store is nice with really good products, in the middle of Duke of York Square, right opposite the Saatchi Gallery, so you are paying for the location too.
The smell in the shop is lovely, as it is their coffee, hot chocolate and sweet goodies to go with it. Have a sit outside and enjoy a bit of peace in a lovely setting.
If you go on Saturdays morning, there is a farmer’s market in the square that you can take advantage too ;)

Seven quid for a box of Lucky Charms? To be fair to Partridges, Lucky Charms are much pricier in Blackheath (I’ve heard rumours of £11 a box…) so let’s not judge Partridges on that alone.
Sunday afternoons in Autumn are — in my opinion — made for cakes and hot chocolate, and Partridges in Sloane Square offers both of these yummy things in its little café at the back of the shop. They take your order at your table, but the best bit is going up to the cake counter to make your selection from the dozens of delicacies on offer.
My Victoria sponge was tasty, but possibly not worth the pricetag. Hot chocolates were good, but not the best (and why do places never make hot chocolates hot enough?).
Anyway, a nice little spot, and we had lots of fun browsing the posh brands and American imported foodstuffs afterwards.

Too expensive.
Was turned off during the holidays, when looking for a gingerbread house making kit. Found them here at Partridges and ended up paying almost $ 100 for 2! Insane and killed the mood. They weren’t even normal sized, as a matter of fact, they were even smaller than the normal ones I’m used to.
I made that Kings Road Partridges Gingerbread house last until New Years, trust me. Every bite wasn’t worth it, and costs a couple pounds.
Yes, they have a nice selection of foods, but suck it up, and go across the street to Waitrose.
(The fresh foods out front are lovely, but don’t go inside.) (The market area outside is a great place.)

Great store with a unique selection of items you won’t find at the usual chains.
The also have a café in the back and feature an outdoor market on the weekend with a host of unique items like cured meat, salads, cheeses and more.

I am so very grateful for your updated info on the American items sold at Partridges! This will be the first time in 7 years that my family will be under one roof again to share Thanksgiving AND everything has to be absolutely perfect!
However, I must be completely honest as I’ve been to Partridges with my daughters & grandson for a quick bite and the customer service made me VOW I wouldn’t ever return, but for my family; I would do anything… including going back to Partridges
Plus: we saw one of the MOST gorgeous men I believe we’ve seen since living in London shopping there :-)

With Thanksgiving upon us, I feel compelled to write an update about Partridges for all you Americans who are starting to panic as you realise there’s no pumpkin purée at your local Tesco Express.
Never fear my fellow ex-​pats — Partridges has your Yankee back. Libby’s, Bordens, Keebler Graham Cracker Crusts, Stovetop… you name it, Partridges has seen the niche and filled it with all the familiar name brand goods you’d see if you were at your hometown Wal-​Mart *right now* shopping in preparation for the turkey feast.
Now, expect to pay a *price* for these middle-​brow luxuries, Kraft Americana in the UK doesn’t come cheap… (£7.99 for a bag of Rieces Pieces? Does E.T. come with it? £8 for a box Cheerios? Aren’t heart patients usually bribed to consume that stuff?)
But even though it’s far from a bargain, and I personally aim to make everything from scratch (Martha Stewart wannabe? Um, didn’t I already say «It’s a good thing»?), I *am* thankful that I don’t have to go through the arduous task of roasting a pumpkin myself…

Partridges always holds a place in my heart, and this one is the larger version of the Gloucester Rd one, which means much more selection of American goods, a larger wine and spirits corner, twice the market takeout and specialty items. They always seem to have someone handing out samples in the entry and they get into it, it’s not just a stray worker in a Partridges shirt, there was a guy in full Asian dress today handing out liquor samples (apparently Asian liquor).
On the weekends, they do a food market outside (amazing) so if you’ve just come from Saatchi, you can pop over and grab a great lunch and eat in the square, then head over to the Valerie gelato stand for dessert. mmmm…

Partridges is the store I go to when I need something American! The store is very posh and I love just walking around and perusing what is on the shelves. The American section has all the things an American girl needs when she’s feeling a little homesick. You can buy Apple Jacks, which is a box of apple flavoured cereal for those who have not tried it. They have Oreo cookies, fruity pebbles, bread crumbs and even Kraft Mac-​n-​cheese, what can I say, I love this store.
As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches, I popped in Saturday morning to pick up a few things for Thursday. I’m happy to say that I was not disappointed. I walked away with Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix, Carnation condensed milk, and pumpkin mix, the only mild disappointed was that my four items cost almost £20 when in the States I would have plunked down about $ 5. But I’m sure my ex-​pat friends will appreciate my efforts and be reminded of home when they eat my pumpkin pie, turkey, and stuffing.

If money were no object whatsoever I would wish always to stock my kitchen with goods from Partridges. I’m not talking white goods here, I’m talking edible goods, great food and greater drink. I do enjoy wandering around this type of ultra high end delicatessen, they always stock pastas with all the writing in Italian and yogurts with all the writing in French. It’s refreshing to see different brands and especially little family brands getting a seat on the shelf.
This Patridges has a massive counter area with prepared chilled foods and also the usual selection of charcuterie and cheeses, organic and free range always being available. On my last visit here I popped in for a paper and a bottle of water and it was probably the best example of each I have ever had.
