As a Canadian living in the UK, I HAD to try Tim Hortons in the UK! So does British Tim Hortons compare to the Canadian version??
For many Canadians, Tim Hortons is a nostalgic cafe - I know it was a big part of my childhood and it was such a treat to get some Tim Bits or an IceCapp! I miss it a lot while living abroad.. so how does the UK Tim Hortons compare..?

Brit living in Canada here. Pleased to see your honesty, all the foreigners here I know think it's bizarre that Canadians love it, though we understand it's mostly a nostalgic pursuit at this point.

If you are in the UK, you should bear in mind that Tim Hortons don’t make anything on the premises. Everything arrives at the store frozen and is heated up to make it appear freshly baked. Along with cheese, one of the things I miss most about the UK are the bakers shop. Tim Hortons might have greater variety of toppings, but their donuts will never come close to something a local bakery has just made fresh. Independent bakers are common here, but. Plenty of people will drive past twenty Tim Hortons to get to a place where the donuts are made on the premises.

@Karma-df2gm Год назад

That's essentially the same way it is in Canada too ever since Tim Horton's was bought out by an American company RBI. Tim Horton's in Canada has gone really downhill. Good news and bad news. Bad news is they are not that good anymore. Good news is we got a whole lot of them. They are convenient. That's it.

@charlestaylor9424 9 месяцев назад

Real bakers are disappearing and Greggs the warmer upper is taking their place. I won't call Greggs a baker because you can't buy bread there. The sausage rolls are crap and their choice is so limited.

@WeMuckAround Год назад

I’m British and I lived in Canada for a year. I would go nearly every day as there was one on my uni campus. I thought the UK Tim’s was really similar to their original Canadian counterparts! To put it simply, it tasted the same to me! Gutted they didn’t take my Tim’s Rewards card though 😂

@TusharPankaj Год назад

As a Canadian raised in the US, I've had Tim Hortons maybe twice in my life. I'm sure I'll need to go there again when I renew my passport to prove I'm really Canadian.

I don't understand why they don't have soups, sandwiches and bagels like in Canada. That would hit so good on a cold winter's day.

Because they are all factory-made and really bad. I'm guessing that the UK has many better options out there for those products.

My local Tim Horton's is on my way home from work, and because it's on the commuter route, food tends not to be standing around for long before being served, so it's very fresh and tasty.

A Timmies UK video, yay at last, the one we have all been waiting for. One opened up local to me just before Christmas and I have been wondering whether to pop in and give it a try. Your useful bit of A&N on the spot consumer advice has convinced me to give it a go. I may give the burgers and hot dogs a miss though after your wise council . I do hope your stomach forgave you for your indulgence in doing the research for this. ☕🍩🍁☺

Random fact. Tim Horton's brother lived on the same road as me, just a couple of hundred metres away until he passed away

@anthonystevens8683 Год назад

Allana thank you for your honesty, seriously if the stuff tastes like home (assuming that you liked it at home) is a huge plus for those of us who have not tried the food in its native country. I have to take my hat off to you for trying the other food even though it could be in the category of "could do better". Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the heads-up about there being a Tim Horton's in Kent. I live near Folkestone, but I took my wife on a surprise trip to the Gravesend branch today. We haven't been to Canada for quite a few years, but she said it was a reminder of our first foreign holiday together. We both tried chicken burgers with lattice fries, and our experience with that seemed a bit better than yours. We visited at lunchtime though, so probably our food was freshly cooked. I gather that a branch is going to open in Margate, which will be a bit closer for us.

@Umbrellanor Год назад

I’m sorry you had to go to Gravesend but I hope you enjoyed your Tim Horton’s. It used to be a Pizza Hut years ago, and the Lidl used to be AMF bowling before it merged with the smaller Lidl next door and became a mega Lidl. As teenagers we used to go bowling and then to Pizza Hut in the school holidays. Good times 🥲

@Blahshog Год назад

A few years ago I worked in Canada close to Calgary, we practically lived on Tim Hortons! It's not great (as you said), but it always had a great atmosphere and wasn't that expensive. Didn't know about the hot food thing though, that burger looked pretty bad to be honest! Good fun video! Take care.

@jaycb490 Год назад

When I saw the notification come up for this I couldn't wait to watch it! Wanted to get your verdict on Timmys. I have been to this one and the one at Lakeside. Had the Coffee and Timbits before but not the burgers, from the sounds of it I'm not missing much. Icecap sounds nice though. 👍

@AdventuresAndNaps Год назад

IceCap is great if you can handle some sugar 😂

@adrianmcgrath1984 Год назад

The top selling items in Canadian ones are 'double, doubles', ice caps and donuts. A double, double is just drip coffee with two sugars and two servings of cream. People don’t really go there for food unless there is no alternative. The way Canadian towns have grown and been developed means most towns have one major road that runs through them, businesses that cater to people on the move cluster along them, this means if you stop to get something to eat, there are very often two or three fast food places to choose from, you might pull into a parking lot of a strip mall and have a Tim Hortons, KFC, A&W and a DQ side by side. In which case the Tim Hortons and DQ will probably sell a dozen burgers a week. Only the rare stand alone Tim Hortons will sell much savoury stuff

@shanemjn Год назад

I went to Tim Hortons a few months back for breakfast after a stag do. The breakfast wrap was on par with the McDonald's when they used to do them, but the coffee is easily the best fast food coffee

@suzanneantippas8420 Год назад

There used go be Tim Hortons restaurants in New York City but only briefly. I believe they were closed in 2015. And that's a good thing for me because I won't be walking miles and miles to get a) those gorgeous donut holes, an amazing array of flavors and you seem to like them, (b) that maple and cream filled donut (I don't know of anyone around here that sells maple donuts, but if it's as good as it looks, I'd be addicted to them immediately), and (c) the Ice Cap that looks like a chocolate shake. Thanks for a fun episode! I'll be seeing those yummy items in my dreams!

Their bacon and egg breakfast muffin is okay, but I'm not sure about the hash brown that's wedged in the 'stack' version though - the pancakes with maple syrup and bacon are pretty good though. They also have bagels on the breakfast menu. I'll give the Iced Capp a try once the weather warms up.

I now know what to try and what not to order, I think the hot food is off the menu 😂

@joshbrailsford Год назад

There is a Tim Horton's near where I live in Sheffield, and I've tried their hot food a couple of times. I had chicken sandwiches and thought they were better than McDonald's. But it's never busy there, and the food certainly takes longer than 60 seconds, so maybe it's cooked fresh. Interesting to see your perspective on it regardless.

@heskeyisgod8039 Год назад
