Who are we

You may have guessed from the name that we're a delicatessen specialising in Mediterranean food - you can eat in, take out or stock up on the best the Mediterranean has to offer -  how did we pick such a great line up?

  • We trained to spot them - we formally studied wine, coffee, charcuterie and cheese before we ever opened a deli, on top of formal cookery training years back.
  • We spent 3 months travelling from Preston to Andalucia and back, sampling foods in the environment in which they were produced (hard work, but someone had to do it!).
  • We have travelled from Stirling in Scotland to the famous Borough Market in London, and from Preston in the West to Harrogate in the East talking to chefs, deli owners, importers and producers. We've struck up some true friendships and work closely with our suppliers.

    • Did you also know:

    • We make Panini, Pintxos, Sandwiches Salads and Soups everyday in our own kitchen using the best fresh, seasonal ingredients; all our cakes are home made too.

  • We offer an extensive menu because we're showcasing the wide variety of top quality food stocked in the delicatessen.

  • Our Spanish food importer, Jose, won Speciality Importer of the Year at the Great Taste Awards; we also stock a range of foods from Italy, Southern France, Greece and North Africa.

  • We stock the best the North West of England produces - from artisan producers passionate about what they do - products like:

  • Anne Connolly's hand made "Crabtree" cheese, a Gold Award winner at the British Cheese Awards.

  • Port of Lancaster Smokehouse salmon, chicken and duck - from Food Producer of the Year at the North West Fine Food awards.

  • Hawkshead relishes - winners of 37 Great Taste Awards, the national food Oscars. There are loads more like them.

  • Our coffee is made by trained baristas; we're proud of our strong Napoli coffee- it's a true coffee addict's coffee made by winners of Best Coffee at the North West Fine Food Awards, and we serve a range of beautiful teas that must be seen to be believed.

  • Most wines on our menu are not just organic but biodynamic (and we can confirm that extra care means they taste great too).
