Where can I buy Ricard or Pastis in the UK?

Egon · 9 Nov 2013 at 18:42

Got the in laws coming over from France next week and le beau-pere's preferred tipple is Ricard or Pastis as expected. I normally bring some back over from France when we go but forgot last time. So, looking for suggestions of where I can get it in the UK without having my eyeballs out.

Any ideas folks?

Epic first reply !

Don't worry they've been coming over for 11 years. They've tried plenty British. Ricard is his drink and it's about being a good host!

Get them to bring it with them?

Doesn't fit in with "being a good host" if I ask them to bring their own drinks

@Theophany... a fad from the 80's, lol. In France it's a whole culture... it's their national drink.

Try a few of your local offies or failing that.

Cheers guys, I'd found both of them, but thought it was a bit pricey, but tbh, it's probably the going price.

Will try a local off licence first to save on shipping.
