Did you know just how easy it is to sell GREAT British Food and Drink to Poland?

By, Martin Oxley, Director of UKTI Warsaw

The answer has always been – well nowhere really, unless you want to have a quick look in a range of supermarkets or the odd online shop or deli. You know we’ve fallen really behind the French Cheese or the cured meats and sausage which you can see in abundance in LeClerq or the excellent Portuguese, Italian and Chinese delis.
