If you've been missing the long-closed Marks & Spencer's
food floor, then the Celtic Treasure Chest is for you. There's a terrific
selection of savouries, like locally made fresh steak-and-kidney pie, Cornish
pasties, sausage rolls, and bread. More? There's a whopping selection of 36
styles of U.K. sausages, 14 kinds of U.K. bacon, and six sorts of kippers. Also
present are potato cakes; crisps, including marmite ones; teas like PG Tips,
TyPhoo, and Taylor's of Harrogate, and 40 or so others; black and white
puddings; wine gums; fish-and-chip and Yorkshire-pudding batters; mushy peas;
Heinz beans; treacle; custards; and much more. A selection of gift items and a
small tea room for a cuppa or a light lunch round out the options. Service is
friendly and there's always time for a chat. |

the makings of a real Irish fry-up any day
with the store's own
Irish
potato bread, Dubliner Irish sausage, and more.
