Absolutely top class food. Service and hospitality. Sunday dinner wrap is Absolutely amazing. Becky and husband (sorry didn't catch name) are really friendly. Definitely worth the return visit 12 month after I first discovered this little "big" jem. Take away chicken and gravy was perfect. See you guys in 12 months. Hopefully sooner gaz an claire

The deli opened recently. The decor has that modern fusion of fake floral and bright clean lines. It’s a cafe bar, not a deli as the name implies. From the conversation I had with the British owner, The Deli’s focus is on fine food filled sandwiches and sweet-toothed treats. It’s cosy inside, there are lots of tables outside too. It offers a takeaway service. From personal experience, it offered me a first. My first flat white prepared with coconut and rice milk. I was happily surprised by the texture and flavour.

We stopped off at The Deli for breakfast with the family before we spent the day at the water park. The food is sensational, we were all so impressed, absolutely amazing! The only downside for us is that it was at the end of our holiday, we would have called in every day otherwise. We can’t wait to return and try other meals on the menu. 100% recommend this place.

We are staying with freinds in the area and came across The Deli. This is an excellent place for breakfast, lunch , snack or even a refreshing drink. We know the surrounding area well and it never ceases to amaze me if you keep away from the "touristy " spots, you get the best value, service and quality. We had a lunch which consisted of the house salad plus the meat of your choice ( optional ) and a panini. Both were freshly prepared using great ingredients. The staff were excellent and the establishment is well kept. The owner should be proud of his business. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back

We had a good time having lunch at the deli. Fresh food, quick service and very affordable. We ordered a caesar chicken panini, a veg salad with olive oil and vinegar, a mango tango smoothie and spinach apple banana smoothie. Smoothies tasted good although I didnt think the mango tango had enough mango. Would still go again though. Cute local place.

WOW awesome first visit. The service is incredibly attentive and super friendly. Great place, so clean and looked after. I had the chicken fajitas which I asked for a bit spicy, spot on, delicious. The chickens are cooked in house. Superb, cooked to perfection and the homemade fries were grand. Definitely recommend The Deli. Service with a smile and food cooked to perfection.

This was a great place for some food! Me and my partner and I had a meal here and it was the best food we had all holiday. The staff were really nice. Had a great selection of food and drinks on the menu and was reasonably priced. Would definitely go again!
