The Bermudian Shopping Experience
Front Street in Hamilton, Bermuda.  

Bermuda offers a variety of shopping experiences that start on Front Street and commence along Queen, Reid and other small streets in the City of Hamilton. Spend the day in St. George's or Dockyard as they offer unique boutique shops featuring local artists as well. There are imports from Great Britain and Ireland such as English woolens, Harris tweed jackets, Irish linen, china, island-made jewelry, local crafts made of Bermuda cedar and local products. The major stores and smaller boutiques carry a range of cosmetics and perfumes, some of which are available at prices less than in their country of origin and there’s no sales tax!

British and European china, porcelain and crystal are available and customers are offered the convenience of having their purchases shipped home, (a good idea when purchasing that wedding gift) thus avoiding the hassle of carrying large boxes in these days of tighter airport security. Well-known names in fine tableware include Waterford, Wedgwood, Royal Crown Derby and Royal Copenhagen, even Versace can be found in some of the Front Street stores. And then there’s liquor and Bermuda offers duty free shopping at the airport at considerable savings, depending on the brand, although Liqueurs offer a considerable saving.

If you have any questions please email our Online Concierge and go to our map to find the shop locations. Check our Events Calendar for events and activities.

Horton's Bermuda Black Rum Cakes
A piece of Bermuda in every bite!  

The Original Horton’s Bermuda Black Rum Cakes were named the official cakes of the Bermuda Department of Tourism and have earned high praise both in the gourmet food and fashion industries! For the past two seasons, fashion executives went wild about the “light and unbelievably moist” Black Rum Cakes from Bermuda during Fashion Week in New York, where they created quite a stir.

Horton’s also gained international recognition as one of the best products at the Gourmet Industry’s annual Fancy Food Show in New York. Awarded for “Excellence” in “taste, packaging, and presentation,” Horton’s attracted the attention of judges who felt that the Bermuda Originals were superior to all others.

In vogue since 1985, when they first took the market by storm in Bermuda pink packaging, the Horton’s name on the label is your guarantee they’re the Bermuda Originals. Only Horton’s are recognized as the island’s commercial icons, for they are Bermuda’s first and finest rum cakes. For a list of stores that carry Horton’s please click here.

Outerbridge's Original

Part of Bermuda cuisine for generations  
Welcome to the Flavour and The Fire of Bermuda. The home of the Only Original Bermuda Sherry Peppers and so much more...

Sherry peppers have been a part of Bermuda cuisine for generations.
During the nineteenth century imaginative sailors in the Royal Navy were fortifying sherry with hot peppers to concoct an all-purpose "seasoning." A taste for the incendiary additive was passed on to land-bound and sea-faring Bermudians.

About a century later Yeaton Outerbridge and his cousin Robbie decided to make up a batch of the long loved "sauce" in Yeaton's cellar at "Shelly Hall." That was in 1964. Since then Outerbridge's has become synonymous with Sherry peppers and a whole line of zesty gourmet condiments.

Today this growing "cottage" industry is operated by Yeaton and his son Alex which was originally located In the cellar of the old staff quarters at "Villa Monticello". Yeaton still stirs up the original secret brew that gives all the Outerbridge's products their particular kick and unique flavour.

Most of the spicy sauces bear reference, in one way or another, to the term "hot." In Bermuda, for the uninformed, if you have been out on a bit of a toot and imbibed a little too much, you are known as hot. On the other hand if you were out most of the night and "legless," some might just call you full hot. If two or three days have gone by and people were about to report you officially missing, you are Royal Full Hot.

The Outerbridge Family of Gourmet Products includes: the Original Sherry Peppers (hot), Sherry Rum Peppers (saves time mixing in the rum), Royal Full Hot Rum Peppers, Full Hot Mustard Sauce, Bloody Mary Fix, Wine Vinegars, Barbecue Sauce (both Mild and Very Hot), and a special label "Locals Only" Devilishly Hot Original Sherry Peppers for those who can really take the heat.
