Our Story


At Parker's we're committed to bringing you only the very best of British produce, from the finest craftsmen that you won't find anywhere else.
We've scoured the length and breadth of our fair Isles meeting suppliers, testing products and ensuring that when we say "Made in Britain" we really mean it.

It all began back home, with a love of British food and a hankering for adventure. We wanted to bring Brits in the US a taste of home and share our favourites with our American friends.


We learned the crafts of butchery, meat curing and pie making from some incredible British butchers, combining those skills with the best meats and recipes the British Isles had to offer. Then we got married, packed our bags and set off for our new life in America.

 

It's been a long road, from our first tiny kitchen in Vermont to our new home in Buffalo. Along the way, we’ve become a Great British institution, satisfying the hunger of big organisations like MINI and the Royal British Legion, featuring on Gordon Ramsey’s menu and winning celebrity customers like Nick Frost and Gary Oldman.

 

We’ve even been named Best British Shop in America – and Best British Shop in the World!


We still use all British dry ingredients and equipment, from responsibly reared pork (raised locally) to Victorian pie presses, and we still work every day at the heart of our business to bring our customers the best. The rise of cheap, mass-produced, low-quality products has caused a major decline in traditional manufacturing, stopping skilled craftsmen from producing their Great British products and passing on their skills. 
 
Parker's are dedicated to championing Britain's best craftspeople and keeping the spirit of old-school textiles and manufacturing industries alive, to better highlight the quality British-made goods were known for and to keep their expertise around for the next generation.
