he’s had an interesting time… according to this from May 2021
and the building seems a little expensive for just a few years left on its Lease… £165,000 + £15,000 pa rental + Stock at value. But someone might be interested, if this is for real.
I note the Agent asks one NOT to contact the company as Staff might not be aware of the impending sale…

For years I’ve been buying virtually every spice I need from mes épices and can recommend their extensive range.
The only spice I used to buy from the UK was ground kabsah / kebsa (a Gulf Arab compound spice with many, many ingredients). When a friend of mine smelt it recently she told me it was the characteristic scent of spice sellers in the Emirates.
After Brexit, my supplier stopped exporting to France, but this led me to buying from an excellent spice merchant in Jordan who sells the mixture as whole dried roots and seeds which keep much better and have a richer scent when freshly ground.
