British food in Paphos: carveries, chippies and where to find PG Tips

Paphos might be the easiest place in the Mediterranean to get a Sunday roast. With so many Brits living here, the carvery is practically a local institution. Tea bags and Marmite take a little more hunting, but not much.

The short version

• Sunday roast: the carveries are the big draw. Monara's "Tony Carvery" and Chef's Garden in Kato Paphos both charge about EUR 19.50–20 (about £16–17) a head for three courses [3].
• Pub roast: The Railway Inn in Chloraka does a cooked-to-order roast from about EUR 11 (about £9) [3].
• Fish and chips: T&J's in Kato Paphos and Fryday's English bakery and chippy in Coral Bay [4][5].
• British groceries: Marks & Spencer at Kings Avenue Mall, and Philippos Supermarket in Coral Bay for PG Tips and Waitrose lines [6][7].
• The footie: Mikeys Bar, Green Corner, O'Neill's, Kings Road Cafe and The Flying Pig all show live sport [1][2].

Pound conversions use the Bank of England spot rate of 5 November 2026 (£1 = EUR 1.2002). Prices come from menus and reviews collected in 2026 and change with the seasons, so check when you book.

The Sunday roast

Ask any Brit in Paphos where to go for Sunday lunch and you'll get a strong opinion. A June 2026 round-up by the property site CyDwelling, built from local Facebook groups and reviews, named these as the regular favourites [3]:

A few things stand out. First, book: nearly all of these sell out, especially in winter, at Christmas and on big sporting weekends [3]. Second, pick your style. A carvery means unlimited roast beef, pork, gammon and chicken with Yorkshires and gravy; a pub roast is plated and smaller, but cooked to order [3]. And third, the Chloraka places aren't walkable from the harbour, so plan a lift or a taxi if you fancy a pint with it.

The Railway Inn deserves a special mention for homesick Brits. Open since 2003, it's an old-style English pub with dark beams, real ales such as Marston's and Old Speckled Hen, and an open fire in winter [3]. It's about as close to a village local back home in Blighty as Cyprus gets.

The full English and a proper cuppa

A full English is easy to find in the tourist strips of Kato Paphos and Coral Bay, where plenty of cafés chalk one up on a board outside. Of the places we could verify, Mikeys Bar is known for its English breakfasts as well as its roast, along with a roast beef roll that has its own fan club [3].

Tea is a trickier business. Cypriots are coffee people, and "tea" in a local café may mean a herbal brew or a bag of something pale on the side of a cup of hot water. If you want builder's tea, cafés run by Brits are your best bet, and at home you'll want to stock up on your own. Ask for milk on the side, too, as some places assume you want lemon.

Fish and chips and British baking

Two chippies we could verify are open in 2026:

• T&J's Fish and Chips in Natalia Court, Iasonos Corner, Kato Paphos, does cod and chips, sausages and butterfly shrimps, to eat in or for delivery through Wolt, Monday to Saturday [4].
• Fryday's in Coral Bay, near Peyia, calls itself the only British bakery in Paphos and doubles as a chippy, with cod, haddock and scampi [5]. On the bakery side, there are steak pies, Cornish pasties, pork pies, sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, Eccles cakes, Bakewell tarts and mince pies [5]. Its website isn't dated, so check opening times before you drive over.

Shopping for Marmite, PG Tips and Christmas pud

You don't need a suitcase full of tea bags any more, but you do need to know where to look.

1. Marks & Spencer has a clothing, home and food store in Kings Avenue Mall, on the corner of Apostolou Pavlou and Tombs of the Kings Avenue [6]. The food hall is the obvious first stop for biscuits, sauces, ready meals and, from November, Christmas treats, though stock varies by delivery.
2. Philippos Supermarket in Coral Bay and Peyia is popular with British residents, and a 2026 supermarket round-up notes British staples such as Waitrose own-label lines and PG Tips [7].
3. Alphamega hypermarkets have a wide international range that includes British cupboard favourites, the same round-up says [7].
4. Lidl has several branches in the Paphos district, and its themed country weeks bring in international lines from time to time [7][8].

For Christmas, mince pies come from Fryday's or M&S, and a Christmas pudding is best bought early, as the shelves empty fast in December. Some Brits simply bring one back from a November trip to the UK; a pud keeps for months.

A word on prices: imported British brands carry a mark-up. A jar of Marmite that costs a few pounds at home can cost noticeably more here, so many Brits switch to local equivalents for everyday things and save the imports for treats. Local halloumi, Cypriot sausages (loukanika) and the bread from village bakeries are all very good indeed.

Pubs for a pint and the footie

Cyprus is two hours ahead of the UK, so a 3pm Saturday kick-off starts at 5pm here, and the UK's 3pm TV blackout doesn't apply, so bars show the games live. These pubs and sports bars had current listings when we checked [1][2]:

• Mikeys Bar, 5 Konstantias Street: British-style pub with pool, darts, quiz nights and football, rugby and racing on TV.
• Green Corner Pub: English-style sports pub, with a two-for-one cocktail happy hour.
• O'Neill's Irish Bar and Grill, Tombs of the Kings Avenue: generous portions and live sport.
• The Flying Pig Sports Bar & Grill, Kato Paphos: lots of screens, burgers and steaks; picked as a World Cup viewing spot in 2026.
• The Kings Road Cafe Pub Sports Bar, Tombs of the Kings Road: big screens and live entertainment.

A pint generally costs about EUR 3–5 (about £2.50–4.20) in an ordinary bar, more in the smarter harbourfront spots. Our nightlife guide covers the later end of the evening.

Going local

It would be a shame to live in Paphos and eat only roast dinners. A Cypriot meze, where dish after dish arrives until you surrender, is the local equivalent of a Sunday blowout, and village tavernas inland do it for a lot less than the harbour. Grab a sheftalia (a grilled sausage in caul fat) in pitta from a souvlaki shop, and try a glass of local Commandaria, a sweet wine that has been made on the island for centuries.
