Soups

Ingredients are always our priority when it comes to our soups, we always make ours 24 hours in advance, so the flavours can blend perfectly. We also follow the seasons, so in summer we will often make a cold Soup such as Vine Tomato and Basil and in the winter hearty warm Split Pea and Roast Deli Ham Soup, to warm your insides and fill you up.

We have a different Soup everyday made in store, all without a stock cube or thickening agent in sight and most suitable for vegetarians, so you can be guaranteed that they are MSG, Gluten and worry free.

Please call to ask what our daily special is today and if you would like us to heat it up for you, just ask!

Seasonal Specials

‘Some of us like Winter, some of us like Fall, some of us like Springtime, but Summer's best of all’

Every season is a new challenge for us and we often plan months in advance, so in June were busy making the Christmas Puddings and Mince Pie Filling, to infuse their lovely spices in brandy. In Spring, Jan is busy searching for new recipes with a spring in her step. Summer is time for picnics, all ready to be picked up and taken to Ascot or Henley. Click here for the menu and Fall is Pumpkin Time, the seeds of which go into the ground in March to be ready to be carved for Halloween.

Christmas is a extra special time for us, as we like to fill the shop with delicious Christmas delicacies, all of which are perfect for presents, dinner party gifts or stocking fillers.

CAKES & PASTRIES

When asked by our clients "which cake is the least calorific?" whilst gazing over the cake selection, we always say "All of them are calorie free! provided you go for a 3 mile run after." Well it’s not strictly true, but at least it makes everyone less guilt ridden!

Baked in store on a daily basis by our own Pastry Chef Justina, our cakes are richly satisfying and everything you want your cake to be, with your first mouthful! Be it our Famous Passion Fruit Iced Carrot Cake, which surely should qualify as one of your five vegetables a day in an ideal world, or our intense secret recipe Chocolate Brownies, made with the finest Belgian Chocolate, exploding with gooey Chocolate guaranteed to satisfy the sweetest tooth craving in everyone.

Our selection encompasses a minimum of 6 daily cake specials, which change on regularly and include a range of Gluten and Nut Free, but sadly not calorie free cakes.

We also have a full whole cake take away menu selection on offer for that special party or occasion, with 24-hour notice, please see the full available cake menu here.

SHELF INDULGENCE

Here at the Deli we spend a lot of time sourcing new off the shelf products, both seasonal and basics and anyone who has popped in knows that our shelves are crammed full with delicious unusual delights to see you on your way, most of which can’t be bought in supermarkets. We endeavour to find the products prior to them hitting the big time.

We are proud to support local suppliers as much as we can, and are always interested in new products. Of course we realise a British Parmesan Cheese if there is such a thing isn’t right, so we also source smaller brands from across Europe, and always keep an eye on the quality.

• Chocolate Covered Medjool Dates from Morocco
• Pic’s Organic New Zealand Peanut Butter
