Moving abroad is an adventure: new cities to discover, new friends to make, and new traditions to embrace. But amid all that excitement, it’s often the smallest things that bring the greatest comfort. A familiar snack. The smell of mince pies baking. The first sip of a proper cup of tea on a cold Dutch morning. Those simple tastes of home can make even the rainiest day in the Netherlands feel a little warmer.
That’s where Kellys Expat Shopping comes in. Since opening its first shop in The Hague back in 2008, Kellys has been on a mission to bring the best of British and American favourites to expats across the Netherlands and beyond. What began as a small family-run store has grown into the largest British and American supermarket in the country, with locations in The Hague, Wassenaar, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam. And for those a little farther afield, Kellys’ online shop delivers across Europe, bringing a taste of home straight to your doorstep.
Inside every store, the shelves are packed with comforting classics: crunchy cereals, buttery biscuits, savoury sauces, hearty roasts and proper tea bags, everything you need to turn your kitchen into a little slice of home. You’ll find favourites like Branston Pickle, Bisto Gravy, Yorkshire Tea, Lucky Charms and Kraft Mac & Cheese, offering a perfect mix of nostalgia and discovery.
But Kellys is more than just a grocery store, it’s a community hub for expats who understand what it’s like to miss home. Walk through the door and you’ll hear familiar accents, share a few laughs, and maybe even pick up a tip on where to find the best stuffing mix or cranberry sauce. It’s that shared sense of belonging that makes Kellys special. A reminder that you’re never too far from the flavours and traditions you love.
The holiday season is when those traditions truly shine. Whether you’re preparing a British Christmas dinner, planning an American-style Thanksgiving, or introducing Dutch friends to festive favourites, Kellys makes it easy to celebrate in style. From mince pies and Christmas puddings to pumpkin pie filling, turkey stuffing and cranberry sauce, you’ll find everything you need to make your celebrations complete.
And the treats don’t stop after the holidays. Throughout the year, Kellys keeps its shelves fresh with limited-edition and hard-to-find products, helping you rediscover old favourites or try new flavours straight from home. There’s always something new to explore, whether it’s a nostalgic childhood snack or the latest seasonal release everyone’s talking about back in the UK or US.
So, whether you’re craving a taste of the UK, a flavour of the US, or simply that comforting sense of connection, Kellys Expat Shopping is here for you. With six stores across the Netherlands and fast, reliable European delivery, your favourites are never far away.
Because home isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling of comfort. And at Kellys, we’re proud to bring that feeling to your table.
