The British
Pantry Ltd.

Redman comes from several generations of bakers who lived in Swinton, near Manchester and her children, who now run the business, were born in Lancashire. Tyce moved away from Seattle four years after incorporation and her share of the business was purchased by the Redman family, which includes siblings Alvia and Neville, and Alvia’s son Graham. They have operated at the original site, at 8125 161st Avenue NE since opening, starting with a bakery and tea shop, comprised of roughly 450 square feet, the portion occupied today by Neville’s Restaurant. The business has expanded eastwards five times and now encompasses roughly 6,000 square feet.

The first expansion became the restaurant, offering high tea and an assortment of British menu standards. The bakery and grocery occupy another segment of the building, and in about 1996 the Three Lions Pub was opened in the easternmost portion. Subsequent expansion of the pub side of the business in Novelty Hill (23525 N.E. Novelty Hill Road, A-101) and Bothell (10111 Main St.) occurred in 2013 and are still going strong today.
