Well out the coast, but this deli does amazing foodie treats in all shapes and sizes. You can also stop for great coffee and cake after the hard work of shopping.

You’ll know it from the queues out the door at lunchtime for salads and sandwiches but they also have amazing produce, with a particular focus on top quality Italian goods.

Tucked away on a back street that not many people would find unless specifically looking for it. 

The focus here is on amazing food flown in from Italy, but there’s also a great selection of fruit and veg. And while you’re there, check out the gelato too.
