A lot of it is sourced locally with Ayrshire produced food cutting down the food miles. The shop has been short listed for its range of quality food and customers come from all over to shop here. It's well worth a visit.

The back opens out into a cafe which serves freshly cooked breakfast and lunch dishes. Heartening to see such top quality from a Helensburgh establishment which would receive plaudits in the West End of Glasgow. The proprietors clearly have high standards. Situated just round the corner from Helensburgh Central Railway Station, The Buffet Shop is the perfect place to top for tea and a bun while you are waiting for the train. My only complaint is the relatively early closing time of 4pm.

While much of Helensburgh resembles a tired tourist resort, the same cannot be said of the…read morefantastic Buffet Shop situated just off the main square. Given the precedent set by waterfront businesses, I fully expected a shop of this name to be a proprietor of sausage rolls and cheese sandwiches, with a range of chipolatas covered in bacon if you were planning a fancy dinner party. Instead what greeted me was a deli which wouldn't look out of place in the swishest areas of the country. With vibrant, friendly and helpful staff, this place is a breath of fresh air for the town and offers some truly sumptuous deli treats, including a fantastic range of freshly made sandwiches. There is also a well presented seated area in which you can enjoy a meal. Indeed the two course lunch deal at 7.95 is astoundingly good value for money and comes highly recommended.

The staff were also super nice and were accommodating enough to make me a ice-cream coffee (I got a half cup of the flat white and then got a scoop of the local vanilla ice-cream added - delicious!). Also this place was the only shop serving food that was open on the High Street on a Friday evening after 5pm (they close at 5:30). Would recommend.

Some people have said I give way too many five star ratings. In response I would like to say. If…read moreyou have nothing nice to say in your review, then don't review at all (slightly paraphrased). These guys I cannot help but give five stars. I also have some trouble understanding it. Look at that map in the corner. You don't see a lot around there do you? Just a road with a train station and a ferry port. Wemyss Bay is not a big place. So how the heck did they end up with such a brilliant butchers and deli? I mean, this is like an old style butchers - no pre-packed crap here. Freshly made sausages and mince. I picked up a haggis made in the shop and some bacon. Bloody brilliant. Unlike an oild style butchers, you have a selection of great wines and cheeses next door, a small array of vegetables and it is bright and well kept. The old butcher shops could be really dark and sometimes a little smelly. This breaks that mold and yet keeps the tradition of guys who know meat and how to cut and prepare it - on site. So for those of you who are unsure or too young to know. Meat used to be bought by asking a guy for something and then he would take a a large slab of animal and produce the cuts you wanted from it. If you needed it de-boned, they could do it. He would also probably ask the thickness you wanted before he started. This is very different from picking up a packet of cellophane wrapped pink meat-esque substance and putting it in your cart. How do these folks thrive? From people like me driving to Wemyss bay to get stunning meats - nuff said.

I adore Peckhams, but I have come to realise that I don't frequent it enough. Must. Try. Harder…read more They're one of the original delis in the area and arguably still the best. Whether you're after a wee snacky delicacy for a dinner starter (or dessert!), that essential but hard-to-find exotic ingredient that you simply must-have for a recipe, a designer beer or three, or even a quality malt whisky, Peckhams is the place that you're likely to find it. I usually visit here when my eye is caught by a fancy malt whisky in the window (cunningly displayed right beside their cash machine, the cads!), or when I'm seeking margaritas mix for what has become a Christmas cocktails tradition with us. The West End would be a poorer place without Peckhams. Long may they continue.

I love Peckhams. I'm probably there far too often. They pride themselves on being able to cater to your foodie needs all day long, with pastries and rolls in the morning, a wide range of lunch options and even their own range of freshly made ready meals for dinner. Then of course they have offers for coffee and cake, should you need anything else in between. As far as I'm concerned, this is what delis should be like. They would get five stars out of five too, but the service can be just a little bit on the slow side. I don't mean when they're struggling with the lunchtime rush because that's fair enough. I mean, it can take them a few minutes to realise that you haven't been served, and in serving you some things they can be very slow (don't bother getting butter on your roll in the morning, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands). It's easy to forgive them because they're friendly and helpful and because everything is delicious but if they were just a tiny bit more efficient Peckhams would be perfect.
