About us

DISTINCTLY BRITISH is the brainchild of Christopher Roundell, recognised as one of the UK's shopping experts. Author of the book 'The Which Guide to Country Shopping' for the Consumers' Association, he continually searches and finds some of the best British craftsmen and specialist producers in the country.

Our website is like finding one of the world's most luxurious department stores featuring a wide variety of 'stallholders' all displaying interesting and unusual products. This is a site driven by quality, offering products at direct prices.

Many of the products featured on distinctlybritish.com cannot be found in the High Street. They are often displayed at Country Fairs, Speciality Events, or available through their mail order catalogues.

For the first time these exclusive, interesting and unusual companies are now featured on one site. We have selected them all for their quality and design content and they can be found as far apart as The Isle of Mull and Penzance.

Quality products are rarely mass-produced.
Designers have a real love of their craft and hone their techniques to perfection.
Specialists who produce quality foods have a love for cooking, flavours, textures and the presentation of mouth-watering temptations.
Every 'stallholder' has a proven fulfilment service, so that you can buy with confidence in the knowledge that the goods will be delivered in the time specified.
You may fill your 'shopping basket' with as many products from as many stallholders as you wish, and let distinctlybritish.com process everything for you. Start to shop now and enjoy a whole new world of treasured items, delivered directly to your home.

Come back and visit us frequently to see new 'stallholders' who join this distinctive company of specialist retailers and take advantage of the many seasonal offers will be displaying monthly.
