Map of Mrs. Bridges Pantry
Overview
We opened the doors of Mrs. Bridges Pantry on a cold December morning in 1992. Both having been born in England and now living in the States, we discovered that we both envisioned opening a 'British' shop in the region. The first shop was literally a pantry, just a few shelves tucked away inside the only multi-dealer antique shop in downtown Putnam, Connecticut at that time. Opening only on Saturdays and Sundays, we offered a limited selection of British foods, that we thought would only sell to the small British population in the area.
We soon realized that Americans also appreciated what Britain had to offer. So much so, in fact, that five moves later, Mrs. Bridges Pantry has become a regional destination for those both British in blood and spirit. Our store now offers a wide selection of British foods, teas, books, greeting cards, kitchen items and gifts.
We serve a very British menu in our snug tearoom, including homemade jam and clotted cream, baked beans on toast, steak and kidney pies, ploughman's and tea sandwiches. The shop is open daily, except Tuesdays and is located in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut and is now located on Rt 169 in South Woodstock, Connecticut just across the street from the Woodstock Fairgrounds.

For the past year or so, me and my best friend have been itching to make a trip to Mrs.Bridges Pantry. The past saturday, we finally made it a demand we go and it was for sure worth it! Coming from Rhode Island, we made the trip and were impressed with the shop, the selection, atmosphere, and staff. We first started off trying 'cream earl grey', in which one of the wonderful girls at the shop recommended. The tearoom was very busy but the waitress attended to all our needs! After fulfilling ourselves with beef and onion pub pies, we squeezed in a couple delicious scones! I didn't want to leave! I had to take a few scones home with me ! Thank you so much to the staff at Mrs. Bridges and the marvelous environment ! We will be back!

I stop by Mrs. Bridges every few months to pick up some food staples but have never eaten there. That changed this past Sunday, my sister and I decided that since it was such a cold afternoon we would stop for some tea and scones. It was delicious!!! We had only wished we had gone in for lunch because the food being served at other tables looked and smelled fabulous. We both promised ourselves we'd be back again to try the soup and quiches for a sisters only lunch. I give the service and food an A+.

My first trip to Mrs. Bridges occurred about four years ago, my English friend Marge introduced me to tea in the afternoon. We have tried other tea shoppes but always return to Mrs. Bridges because of the friendly staff and delicious food, not to mention the tea. Today I purchased knitting instructions and some yarn to make socks, I have wanted to do this for a very long time and at Mrs. Bridges they always encouraged me. Also, we enjoy the antique shoppes in the area and although I say I really don't need anything, I usually come home with at least a cup and saucer! Thank you Mrs. Bridges!! Mary
