Having walked past this place time and time again this week, finally decided to stop in and get my lunch from here today. I regret not having come in sooner!
I had a duck & slaw wrap, which was toasted and a small portion of sweet potato & roasted yellow pepper soup. £5 well spent! They do have a table and a few chairs outside but they were in the shade so I took my food to the benches just up the way to sit in the sun.
The couple (making assumptions here) behind the counter are full of smiles & super friendly, he's South African and she's Polish.. He does all the cooking, she apparently hates cooking! So kudos must go to him on a superb house made slaw.. apple, celery, thick slices of cabbage & carrot, lovely amount of crunch and acidity to balance out the richness of the duck. Can imagine it would have gone fantastic with some pulled pork but they'd sold out of the pork already.
I was expecting the soup to be quite sweet (as most sweet potato soups tend to be) hence why I only got a small portion, but I was pleasantly surprised to taste the smokiness of the roast peppers and to find the soup was in fact quite savoury.
Deli side of the store is a bit sparse at the moment, Relish around the corner have a much bigger range of stuff. But I think given time, their range of items will grow.
Possibly one of the best lunches I've had this week, highly recommend! read more
