Blakeney Delicatessen in North Norfolk

Great products, friendly staff - been using whenever we’re in the area over the last 15 years. Very sorry to see it closing down 👎

Chance encounter but worth going in. Small frontage hides the treasures within. Recommend the beef pasties and traditional sausage rolls. Coffee made to your order all presented with a smile from the staff who cannot do enough. Try them.

The board on the quay states 'open every day'. A trek uphill to their shop revealed a sign on the door 'closed Monday and Tuesday'. A case of misleading information - as they can't be bothered, they shall not get any of my patronage.

We have had a very tasty beautifully cooked pizza. Cannot recommend enough. When we collected it was piping hot smelled delicious.

Excellent service, the food is great, Price is much better than elsewhere and they're friendly people. Highly reccomend this place.

Stopped on a walk through Blakeney for a lunchtime take away snack. Very friendly service. Sat a little way down from the Deli to eat and overlook the creeks.

Stayed just down the road last week. Did not fancy cooking so we brought a locally produced ready meal at the deli. It was excellent served with a potato dish also purchased there. We also brought a lovely soughdough loaf which was also excellent. I highly recommend this deli.

Absolutely lovely, thanks for fitting me in, keep up the good work girls, definitely be going back for more.

Omg spotted the board on the quay and a very short walk up the high street got the most delicious takeaway lunch and coffee. The quiche was to die for, simply the best quiche I have ever eaten (salmon & wilted spinach and the other half had a cheese and ham, equally yummy) quality ingredients to be sure. Potato salad very nice and other salads looked tempting too. Felt sad we didn’t have the car with us as the homemade frozen ready meals looked equally divine. Would definitely go back!

Great staff, wonderful service, good food and great pizza! - What more do I need to say - we will be back

Prior to visiting Blakeney today for a long walk, I had researched what food establishments were available and noticed the delicatessen and that the reviews were very good. We visited around late afternoon and received a friendly welcome. We purchased two of the homemade sausage rolls. They were large, contained a large proportion of meat filling and were extremely tasty. We also bought a slice of apple and custard danish, which was also excellent - a good balance of flavours and the sweetness was just right. We sadly missed out on the baguettes, due to the time of day, but we will certainly be returning to try one. They also had a good selection of items to buy such as local ground coffee, tea, cakes and cheeses. I would certainly recommend visiting the deli when in Blakeney.

I live fairly locally but hadn't really sampled this deli. The brie ,bacon and cranberry baguette I chose was made to order - warm - and very very delicious. The best baguette in a long time, and lovely chat with the front of house staff. Highly recommend.

This is a must place to visit when in Blakeney, if you are looking for a range of tasty snacks to choose from, served up by super friendly ladies....what a treat!

What a beautiful shop excellent food sooooo clean what a wonderful selection of everything and Emma what a lovely friendly young lady thank you much we enjoyed our lunch soooo much we wish you every success be back soon Hilary and Barry Blackmore

The two ladies who have recently taken over this long established favorite are an asset to the village. Blakeney can become a bit of a West London on sea in holiday season so it's great to see two people who are genuinely local creating such a good offering for residents and visitors alike. We'd had the misfortune to be staying in the filthy holiday rental next door to the right of the deli (avoid the blue bay windowed 30a) but each day the staff at the deli cheered us up with some great treats. Don't expect a huge range but everything there is is quality - be it the coffee or the quiche. We can recommend their sausage rolls and their rocky road too! Even if you don't want a coffee or need snack we'd recommend walking up the high street just to see what they have going on!

We had the privilege of staying in a property above the beautiful delicatessen in Blakeney. The two ladies and their team were so friendly. This a project they have recently taken on and are so passionate about. The smell of croissants cooking in the morning was amazing, that was breakfast sorted. A shop not to be missed if you visit Blakeney.

Perfect! Local produce, local management, local customers! As a FULL TIME, PERMANENT resident of Blakeney it is so nice to be able to pop to the Deli daily, and see the smiles on the girls faces as they work away in their thriving new business! Blakeney is being over taken by NON locals so to have the Deli in the capable hands of locals is lovely to see!! The food is amazing, fantastic selection of great produce and homemade treats. The sausage rolls are amazing!! The new decor is beautiful and I wish you every success in your venture!

Apparently the deli is under new management. They are massively inconsiderate, very very loud and completely unaware of others. Standing outside day and night smoking. Will not be visiting Blakeney again due to the attitude of these people.

Very little choice, some items described as homemade were bought in frozen defrosted. Disappointed. Seating area closed so window service takeaway only.

This place is a little gem. Owner was serving at the door and couldn`t have been more helpful. We bought a home made fish pie to take back to our S/C cottage. We also bought the best Brie i have ever tasted and some savoury biscuits and a jar of chutney. It was a tasty feast.

So friendly, welcoming and helpful. Also, really great produce. Home made veggie casserole to take away and re-heat was really yummy - the sort of meal you don't want to end! Highly recommend this place.

Visited on a blustery day in November with my girlfriend and noticed the delicatessen was open. We had walked past it previously and made a note of returning next time we were in Blakeney. The gentleman that served us was extremely nice and helpful, just the kind of person you want to interact with when you visit any highstreet shop. I had the homemade sausage roll with onion chutney and it was absolutely amazing, will definitely have to visit again. Can not recommend enough!

2.30 in search of something for lunch - anything really . I saw a sign saying “sandwich fillings “ but was told they had run out of bread . Basically their offering was crisps or crisps .

This is a nice facility to have in the village. Quite difficult to shop as had to stand at the door and ask about each product. However, what we did buy, bread, croissants and biscuits for the dog were all good.

Covid secure with atable set up in the doorway from which orders were take. Sausage rolls delicious and large enough for 2 to share, lovely fresh baked pastries could be ordrered for next day collection. Proprietor very friendly and helpful.

A must for both staple an luxury items, great selection of local produce also. Well stocked and varied. Excellent staff.

Bought some lovely bread and cheese and the owner was very good and took the time to go through the array of local cheese on offer

Rave reviews and in search of cheeses for large family meal tonight...special trip over to Blakeney. CLOSES at 1.30pm!!! Not 5pm as advertised.

This delicatessen has a great choice, some of it local food stuff, good place to pick up something nice and tasty.

A spontaneous picnic was possible due to the excellent cheeses and crackers available. The staff were knowledgable about their products and we bought items we had not originally considered

Excellent Covid regulations in place. Great keeping staff and the public safe. Delicious take out. Thank you

On a very wet and grey midweek day during these early days of Covid 19 I found a little ray of sunshine in this deli in the form of the lovely assistant who with her warm smile, friendly demeanor and can do attitude made my visit to the deli and Blakeney a memorable one. The coffee and sausage roll were spot on. Thank you.

Sausage rolls were fantastic , we had pre ordered 2 as heard these get very popular , you can see why !!

Delicious snacks, reasonably priced. Not a great range and veggie selection;s not great but best sausage rolls ever. One is enough for two or three people!

Visited this shop yesterday and greeted the lady reading her book (who looked at me as if I was a nuisance as she had to out her book down) with "it's very quiet in here" to which she replied "Just how I like it" which made me feel even less welcome.My husband,who has terminal lung cancer and was waiting outside the shop with our dogs, pulled out what looked like a seat to rest on and she flew out of the shop and started shouting at him as it was in fact a display stand that wasn't in use. She was very rude.If this woman is an employee she should be sacked and if it's the proprietor then she really needs to change her attitude.The expensive sausage rolls were horrible and we threw them in the bin.Save your day from being ruined and don't go here!

It's a little shop, packed full of character. You'll always find something tasty, classy and good to eat here. I go for the sausage roll with red onion marmalade. A top treat on a cold November morning. There was a young lady behind the till, who is really lovely and chatty, who has fab' local knowledge, especially regards the sealsI will make a point to come back here again, it really is worth it!

Lovely deli but such a shame that the lady in there is so rude and unhelpful.Slammed the door shut when my husband stepped inside to choose some food and didn't shut the door properly!We felt that we were not welcome.Will not visit again!

We have been here many times the food is just lovely especially if you are visiting and want that 'country bumpkin feel'! £££ However the owner whome I have seen before and is lovely, unfortunately if you get the wrong person(staff) very rude and makes you feel very intimidated, I'm surprised she is still there but maybe because it's a family run business?, myself, my mum and my Mother-in-law have all experienced this on different occasions, we have been coming to Blakney for many years and the Spa seems to be cheaper and lots friendly. We like to support local shops so this is a shame.

We used the deli for breakfast pastries, fresh bread and lunch bits and bobs. I highly recommend the homemade hummus - absolutely gorgeous. Handy shop for basics essentials too such as milk, eggs and butter... oh and fizz!

I wouldn't say it's my favourite Deli ever but it certainly does the job for picnics and the odd bottle of alcohol. It's got a lovely range of goods but I feel it's fairly limited in stock. £10 pound card charge is irritating but not too bad considering you'll likely spend that much on various things anyway. Owners always very friendly and helpful and like to take control of the purchase.

It looks lovely form the outside and indeed just as nice in the inside. However if you’re visiting and expecting friendly service it’s best to avoid this shop and instead head to the Spa. Our experience was consistent with many other reviews on here - although the lady on the till tried to be helpful, the person who seemed to be in charge was not only utterly uninterested but was positively unhelpful and rude. Also they have an archaic rule about having to spend £10 for contactless or card purchases.

Nice little deli but definitely on the expensive side - if you're stocking up for supplies while on holiday, head for the Spar on Westgate, but if you want home made meals, local draft beers, daily fresh bread and pastries and foodie gifts - then it's fine. Recommend that you order your bread and morning pastries the day before if you want to be sure of getting them, otherwise you may need to arrive when they open at 8.30am!

First visit to Blakeney, and was looking forward to visiting the Deli .

Went in a few times - some lovely, helpful service at times, at other times much less friendly. Some lovely food, but breathtaking prices. Target audience clearly wealthy Londoners.

This should be a great little deli , set in lovely Blakeney but unfortunately our experience was ruined by rude unfriendly staff who treated us with contempt yet locals who were in treated warmly, we are regular visitors to Blakeney but will certainly not visiting this Deli again, worst service we have encountered in Norfolk

You’ll love this little gem of a deli. It has everything you’ll need for your weekend holiday in Blakeney. All the best quality of food and drink and they make bread on the premises.

The gem of Blakeney- nice variety of produce and stock and the staff are so friendly ! Love this place

We found this a very pleasant establishment with plenty of choice. The service was very friendly and efficient, no problems at all. If you need something to eat or drink, this is the place to go.

Hmmm, set out lovely, plenty if bottled/preserved items but fresh foods and meats are short in supply on my visit, which let me caveat was after a glorious bank holiday so maybe waiting for fresh supplies.

Visited twice over the weekend. On the first visit to buy bread the lady serving was very flustered. Second visit for coffee was friendly and efficient

Do not named the same mistake as us. Weak weak coffe cold and the lady serving is just out right rude...

We always drop in for fresh coffee and sandwiches (the ham is excellent - so too the sausage rolls), and take them down to the quayside to enjoy.

We have visited this deli on several occasions when in Blakeney. On many of these occasions, unless we got the timing just right, there was little choice of fresh or cooked food on offer. Lots of jars and frozen meals but little for a picnic or lunch. The staff here have always been lovely in the past but on recent visits we have been served by a very rude woman, which doesn't help.

Excellent choice of produce. All staff were knowledge and very friendly. Thoroughly recommend a visit!

I have previously used the deli for coffee and snacks (their treacle tart was excellent) but things have changed. The lady serving was grumpy and unhelpful from the outset (e.g. I asked what coffee they were serving, and she just gestered over to the shelf and said 'one of those'). I had my credit card in my hand and before I'd even started putting things on the counter she barked about the minimum card amount. But most importantly, the old staff knew how to make coffee; the one I received on this visit was so bad I ended up tipping half of it away. Disappointing.

Very friendly service and a good choice of quality food and drink. A very useful local facilty for residents and visitors.

Ant stay in Blakeney or surrounding areas without visiting this great little deli. Great selection of homemade food, good selection of cheeses, and wine. We would not miss a visit here.

.....best way to start your day! Even although we were staying in a cottage this was the easiest and best breakfast to take back and enjoy on the patio with a view to the marshes.....happy days.

A great little shop that amazingly has all those items to make self catering a joy. We ate out a lot this holiday, but when we ate in (and saved money) it was with ingredients from the deli that made cooking special. Very friendly people working there too.

My reviews usually involve our dog who tends to go everywhere with us. Whilst staying in Burnham market I was a little disappointed to find many places don't allow dogs. So pleased when visiting blakeney

I’ve visited the deli on two occasions over the summer whilst staying in Blakeney and although the staff are friendly it’s very overpriced. There is a certain pleasure to be had from walking up the road to collect croissants for breakfast but they are really not worth the inflated price tag. This weekend were at least cooked but the ones I had earlier in the summer were very much under done. The sausage rolls are tasty enough but not in anyway the best in East Anglia as they describe, and again the price was inflated. I am afraid I won’t be using them again.

Well stocked regional store with a wide range of quality products on offer. Worth knowing about if you are in the area.

We visited the deli on the 1st of September

We stayed in Blakeney in August of this year and discovered the deli on our first afternoon whilst looking round the town! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the produce was fantastic! We ordered bread and pastries on a few occasions and they were always top quality! I would absolutely recommend you pre order what you want ready to pick up the following morning as it gets so busy! Absolute must if visiting Blakeney, we loved it!!

I read so many things about how great this place is... but I don’t think I get it...

Lovely little deli just a short walk from the quay. Great staff, nice selection of goodies all at reasonable prices. Glad we popped in. The sausage rolls are quite a size and delicious.

This was our first port of call each morning for breakfast bread, croissants and pan aux chocolat and coffee. You can pre-order your food for the following day/ week and avoid the morning rush. A heartily recommend it to anyone staying in/ around Blakeney.

Ordered Croissants day before which were lovely and cheese selection was all local and delicious. Man running the shop was consistently pleasant and genuinely knew about his products in his shop

We were a hungry party of eight that ended up at the deli after finding nowhere to get lunch. The owner was so very accommodating, whipping up delicious baguettes and hot drinks very quickly. Not the cheapest but the customer service and friendliness of the staff meant that didn’t matter.

We've enjoyed the croissants from here for years but sadly after recent experience may not be returning. We were calling in to buy breakfast. Croissants were paid for and said would return for them and a pain au chocolate which was being cooked. All good so far. We waited 20 mins or so - no hardship at Blakeney Quay.

My Son and I were just about to make our breakfast one Saturday morning when I realised I had forgot Bread and Milk on our previous nights' trip to the supermarket. Never mind I thought the Deli is just around the corner. So we got our shoes on and popped down there. Grabbed both the Milk and loaf of Bread and placed them on the counter. Brilliant i though, holding my contactless card ready looking forward to getting back pronto and getting our breakfast underway. The lady behind the counter punched the items into the till and looked up and told me the total but then proceeded to tell me "you can't pay with 'that' because there is a minimum spend of £10..." I told her that "we only needed those to items thanks and didn't have any cash on me i'm afraid." At this point I had my 3 year old son tugging on my leg asking when we were going back home to have breakfast! So long story short, we were forced to go back home, get in the car and travel to the supermarket. All because of Blakeney Deli's greed. Thank you very much, so much for convenience! I hope you are happy that you have avoided paying the huge 0.4-0.9% charge to your card machine supplier. Funny how nearly every other establishment has caught up with the times and scrapped the minimum charge as an effort to offer a convenient and quick service to the customer. We got our breakfast in the end and won't bother you again.

Visited the Deli for the first time today, although slightly hesitant after reading a few of the reviews, I decided to give it a go anyway. If only one good thing comes from my visit it will be that I can confirm that the negative comments are accurate. I was served by a mature lady who visibly tutted and rolled her eyes when I placed my order, now that definately isn’t part of GOOD customer service. I wouldn’t recommend however good the food is, the brownies I purchased were stale so I wouldn’t recommend them !!

Lovely little deli, bit pricey but worth it for the specialty foods. Fave place to pop in for the afternoon cake to go with my cup of tea!! Excellent staff

We read about how wonderful the deli was and decided to travel some distance by car and boat to come and visit and grab a picnic. Two members of staff were in the deli. One lovely young lady who couldn’t do enough to help us (even cut our cheese into slices for our sandwiches) and the other lady who was as sour as the delicious sour dough loaf we bought. She was down right rude and unhelpful. The younger lady was a credit to the deli and thankfully redeemed what would have been an awful shopping experience.

Wow! Great takeaway food & friendly staff. All homemade style- really good picnic to sit on quay- but watch those seagulls!

Having used the Blakeney Deli over the past 2 years I can not fault it at all. Nick and his lovely staff always give excellent service and keep the shop well stocked. It’s a pleasure to go and get the lovely croissants in the morning for breakfast.

This Deli sells local produce, the nearby Cobblers B&B; buy their free-range eggs from here, they come from a farm near Snoring, Fakenham.

We dropped in here last Friday to buy our sandwiches for the last stretch of the coast path. The shop was pleasantly busy and the guy behind the counter was unfailingly polite and helpful to tourists and locals alike. There was a good choice of sandwiches which were made to order at a very reasonable price. Eating them after the long stretch of shingle past Cley was a delight!

Yes.. it was lasagne (yawn) that we bought for dinner from this deli. But it's tough in Norfolk when you are veggie. The spinach and ricotta lasagne was delish. As was the potato salad. Wine great too. And the hound loved her bag of treats.

My husband and I called at The Blakeney Deli today to buy a filled baguette for our lunch. I was greeted by a very unfriendly shop assistant who informed me that they had just half a small baguette left. Obviously this was not enough for us both for our lunch. The only other option by way of bread was a wholemeal loaf or a small seeded loaf which looked nice.

The owner is very welcoming and happy to advise where desired. The food is delicious and the range of home made or local produce is good. It would be lovely to have a wider range but we were there out of season.

Very friendly owner with good local knowledge of the local cheeses. Ground coffee machine in shop to get your coffee fix. Sells local produce as well such as bread and beer. Organically produced wine sold.

Good quality stuff odd woman in shop said when asked about a product oh I don’t buy any if this rubbish I only eat good food lol

We visited friends who had recently moved to Norfolk, over the Easter weekend and called in to the deli while walking round Blakeney on the Friday. The service we received was beyond excellent, despite it being so busy and only having one member of staff on. The lady who helped us was amazing, she recommended various ready meals, we had the venison and the fish pie, both of which were some of the best we'd had, talked us through the cheeses and various other products, as well as recommending places to visit and to eat, all of which were spot on. We had to wait a few minutes to be served as she was so busy, but, given the circumstances, she was polite and helpful to everyone, even the ones who were moaning. We're looking forward to our next visit to Norfolk, and will certainly be coming back here

Popped in to stock up on some cheeses and pickles for a carpet picnic.

We arrived before the snow and thankfully stocked up on home made fish pie and game casserole and dumplings along with treacle tarts and pastries. The food was exceptional! Highly recommend!

Lovely deli. Great coffee, delicious fresh croissants each morning and lovely home made ready meals. Wish we had a place like this at home!

Popped in here for a ready meal and was recommended the mushroom lasagne. It was rich and absolutely scrumptious - now I need to come back and get another!

Went to this deli this morning, shop had a big silver fridge which was empty . On a board outside fresh croissants, sausage rolls and lots of other things ,the board was obviously still on the wall from the summer months!!!!!!!! fresh being the operative word but perhaps not if you want a fresh loaf of bread. Purchased a small seeded loaf which was put into a paper bag , the COST £3.40, don’t mind paying for a nice fresh local loaf whilst away for a few days . Back at the cottage put the knife in to cut a nice slice , so hard !!!!! Went straight into the bin , baked last Tuesday fortnight I should think . Why does a shop open in the colder months when they can’t produce the goods , shop was nearly empty anyway . Just close the door until the warmer months so people like me doesn’t get ripped off !!!! How they were awarded the trip adviser 2017 I shall never know your establishment should be 100% all year round

This delicatessen is a great find - wonderful selection of sauces and pickles. The sausage rolls are mouth- wateringly good. Sandwiches are freshly made while you wait, and are definitely worth waiting for! The chicken parfait is particularly delicious, but not always available.(The owner suggests ringing in advance!)

Popped in for breakfast supplies and delighted with quality of coffee and pastries. Nice looking local produce too which sadly didn't get to sample. Next time !

We've been to the deli many times in the past.

This is a nice and friendly deli - great for holiday extras. We ordered a couple of almond croissants - well organised so you order the day before and collect the following morning. Although these were fresh and tasty, the French baguette we purchased was expensive and broken. But still a nice place to visit.

Servicio personal agradable compré algunos quesos locales, lo que no se puede conseguir en Londres para poner en mi coolbox para llevar a casa conmigo, nada fue demasiado problema.

Este delicatessen aparte de vender una gran variedad de productos, muchos de Francia, incluyendo vino, también hace su propio delicioso rollos buscando salchichas. Estos están listos en 10. 30 pero acaban rápidamente. Hacer pedido con antelación. También conforman un relleno muy generoso para 1 / 2 baguettes y pan. Pedimos unos la tarde antes y que estaban listos para la colección en 8. 30:00 am.

Pequeña tienda tiene cosas realmente preciosas en aquí para comer y beber. Los rollitos de salchicha son para morirse. El servicio era estupendo y eficiente.

Excelente variedad de golosinas de platos preparados para vinos finos. Buena selección de quesos. El paté puede ser el mejor en cualquier lugar. Siempre una bienvenida amigable y bueno.

Very expensive produce with a disappointing selection and slow service - quite a let down after all the good write ups it had.

Blakeney deli has a wonderful selection of freshly made bread, cakes and pies. The owner is really friendly and happy to tell you about what's cooking in the kitchen as well as chat about the weather. We tried the banana and chocolate chip cake which was nothing short of heavenly! Not to be missed if you're in the area.

Looks just like a ordinary corner shop from the outside but a foodies heaven inside! The more you look the more you find!
