The Deli on the Corner is conveniently located right on the cross roads in the middle of the town…read more It's like walking into an Alladins Cave with an amazing selection of food and drink. 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.

Really good find here…read more Although on both visits it does get busy, so noise can bouce around and it's fairly popu;ar with parents and kids. Other than that, food seems to be good. But they are just far too aldente with the french beans on visit one. After saying twice that the needed to be cooked more (served rock hard to us) we used the microwave to blast them. They did however take the beans off the bill and apoligised. Lovely wee gift shop full of delightful and dainty gifts. The deli is just as good and stocks the beer from the microbrewery much to the hubbies delight.

Thanks go to Mason for leading our little party to this amazing spot!…read more The deli & farm/gift shop is totally amazing and super adorable. The brownie is decadent, rich and with the right amount of crunch & gooey ratio. Scotch egg was yum, sausage roll got the thumbs up. Much cheese was bought and consumed. They have my fave (Comte) which was a super added bonus. Great place to stop for a bite and a wander around. Try not to miss the Brewery tours like we did... (gives us a reason to go back!). Don't be afraid to ask for tasters of the beers, grab a pint and sit on a comfy couch to enjoy it! If only I had a car... I'd totally be back.. but I'm sure I'll find a way to return.. somehow!

There is nothing like a visit to a good delicatessen for when you are feeling a bit devil may care…read morewith regards to you ham and cheese purchasing budget! Pieri's has a nice selection of cold meats and cheeses as well as some gorgeous handmade chocolates and delicious ice cream. There is a café at the back of this deli and you can get a decent cup of proper Italian coffee and watch the big screen TV mounted on the wall. The staff are really friendly but unfortunately as Pieri's is quite expensive I don't get to pop in as often as I'd like. My budget can usually only stretch to Billy Bear Ham from Asda but next time I am feeling flush I shall certainly be treating myself to some fancy smancy ham from the lovely people at Pieri's!

(Plus cold meats and cheeses) Rather pricey but thoroughly enjoyable. Good quality heavy cutlery too and little packets of Italian sugar. There's a big flat screen TV at the back too which was showing snooker when we were there.

I discovered this wee gem, not long being open whilst passing through portobello…read more What drew me in was the newly painted exterior with the nicely displayed products in the window, so in l went. On entering l was greeted by one if the owners who said "hello and how are you today " and that alone is something rare these days, never met such polite staff and helpful in every way. The first thing l noticed when l walked in was how well stocked the shop was, everything was in its place, on the shelves where stocked with locally sourced in Edinburgh or Scotland, from biscuits to locally made jam. There where in house made pizza slices to go as well as coleslaw, and cheesecake. The Mouse hole deli stock a variety of scottish cheeses with a selection of cold cut meats, with the usual deli items such as the salads, fresh eggs available and an assortment of baked breads. The prices here are pretty good considering you are supporting locally sourced goods that are made nearby. I do see myself coming back? Most definitely. Service 5* Atmosphere 5* Value 5*

Fantastic food, excellent service…read more Don't miss this hidden treasure. Their selection of cheeses is mouth-watering, and the owner will make you any sandwich you want without comment. One wall is completely taken up with shelves of sauces, treats, and other little prepared nibbles to take away. Very affordable and not far from the water. Owner was quite friendly and welcoming - I wish I lived in this neighborhood so I could be a regular!

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.

Lanark FINALLY has something nice! They do all sorts of nice Deli things that you would expect in…read morethe way of meats and cheeses (that's cheeses, not Jesus, although there is a man with a beard) for sale. There's a pretty decent range of spices and herbs for y'all DIY peeps to go for too. Also some fine foreign wares in the way of foods, sauces and treats. The coffee too is DAMN fine. I had a latte (standard drink to try out somewhere new before moving on to something else) and a mocha on a couple of visits, both of them very nice, perhaps just a tad on the hot side... the latte took a while to cool, that will be more than welcome in the winter though. It's right down the bottom of a street off the main High street, opposite the Lidl. Can't miss it, and you shouldn't. While it's not as extensive as delis in civilised places like Glasgow and Edinburgh, it doesn't need to be, and it shouldn't be. It focuses on having a small, nicely chosen, nicely maintained range - and good coffee and treats. Ideal for a smaller town like Lanark.

We heard about this spot from the host of the local lodge we stayed at for the week; unfortunately,…read morewe only had the opportunity to check it out on our way back to London. Wished we had stopped in sooner as the inside looked really nice and very well looked after. I only had the opportunity to try the mocha as a takeaway, which I think would have been tastier as a have-in due to the milk being slightly scorched. But the staff was very friendly and the inside was very welcoming. Nice displays. Nice-looking pastries & cheese selections. Definitely will be coming back to this spot next time round to check out more of their menu!
