Broad Bean Deli in Shropshire

An absolute gem of a deli and the coffee is good too!!!

Without a doubt the BEST takeaway coffee in Ludlow. There is so much on offer in this amazing deli - it's impossible to go in for a takeaway coffee and not be tempted by so many other wonderful products.

Really lovely patrons and a delightful selection of products. We ended up here twice during our short stop in Ludlow. The balsamic pickled onions are stunning, and the selection of cheeses will keep you perusing for a while.

Great deli with a wide variety of food available. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Don’t expect table service (no tables) Do expect a beautifully curated selection of the finest produce from the local area, the uk and Europe. If you’re in Ludlow. If you are self catering (or in a tent or a caravan or an RV/Motor home). DON’T Go to Tesco to stock up! Pop into here. Pop into the local butchers and the local green grocers and local bakeries. I promise, you will be in food heaven🥰

Great delicatessen in the centre of Ludlow. As well as the usual delicacies, this shop has an interesting selection of cheese - I recommend the Morbier in particular - and some amazing samosas, quite the best we have tasted. The owner is both friendly and knowledgeable. It's not a cheap shop but it is worth it.

A great very friendly little shop packed with great food

Excellent deli good choice of coffee and teas well worth a visit

Fabulous choice of products and lovely ideas for Christmas!

Excellent deli, great range of products and produce. Great service.

One of the best delie in Ludlow. Plenty of good things to buy

Exceptional deli owned by the wonderful Ian and Alice. This is a quality food lovers paradise, full of delicious cheese, meats, olives, freshly made bites to eat, juices, milk and so much more. We sampled before we decided, Ian was so kind to expertly guide us through until we made our choices and we couldn’t be more excited to eat all that we bought. The deli is a must visit if you are in, or near, Ludlow! Thank you Ian, you’re a food champion.

What a lovely place, beautiful food and drink served by fantastic staff! We came here as part of a mystery picnic and for our first stop we were blown away by the quality of the produce, the selection of food and drink on offer and the warm welcome we received. The owner gave us the time of day even when it was clearly a busy time, suggesting some local produce and talking us through some of history of the local area/recommending places to visit. A hidden gem for sure and a must if you are in the town! Thank you so much we will be back :)

Such a wonderful little place , shame it’s a bit hidden! Lovely fresh food and delicacies everything we bought was beyond amazing. The staff are warm and welcoming we were served by a lovely polite young girl who helped us find anything and everything more that we could’ve asked for. Would recommend 👍

Fabulous deli with large array of foods. Cheese counter is magnificent. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Great shop.

This is just a great delicatessen - wonderful cheese, leaf teas, salamis, delicious jars of spice paste, pasta, pulses, wines, bread and do much more; buy dried fruits &nuts by the gram. The best shop in Ludlow IMO.

Fabulous delicatessen. Ian was not only knowledgeable but also very helpful. We were encouraged to sample the produce so that we were happy with our purchases! What started off as a wee browse ended up nearly costing us the entire shop but in the end we settled on a selection of delightful cheeses that Ian helped us navigate. Definitely worth a visit

Bought several local items here. In particular the local cheese and the local beers were good value and when eaten and drunk later very, very tasty. Staff were excellent

A good deli, in Broad Street, with cheese, olives and a good range of meat and vegetarian pies. Good bread available on certain days.

They have won the award and deserve it, so helpful. Great staff, full of knowledge, great products. I use this place regularly and would not even think of going anywhere else

Such a friendly helpful welcome when I popped in here whilst staying locally. The man serving was happy to give recommendations without being pushy and I came away with some great products for very resonable prices. Highly recommended :-)

An excellent deli which stocks a lot of food for vegetarians and vegans as well as excellent cheeses

Wonderful deli in the heart of Ludlow. Fantastic selection of cheese, local produce and Italian goodies. Purchased some lovely Christmas pressies.

Great selection.... Local focus

Popped in to look around and ended up buying some great cheeses, olives and amazing little stuffed peppers. The shopkeeper was super helpful and friendly!!

Ian and Alice run a great deli with amazing cheese, coffee, pies etc. But it's not just food, they really love finding and promoting great local producers and the friendly crew always make it a joy to shop here. If you're the kind of person who loves to read cookbooks for fun, find out about food provenance or just need something rather delicious for lunch you should really try it.

Best deli in Britain. Really lovely shop.

We visited Ludlow whilst away on a caravan trip and stumbled upon Broad Bean Deli, and were so pleased that we did. The welcome that we received was warm and friendly and the advice and guidance (and complimentary cheese samples) were most welcome and very tasty. We have just finished eating our 'Broad Bean' supper of their award winning pies, cucumber and sweet pepper relish, Smoked Pearl Wen (brie) and olives. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a week's self catering holiday and i suggested to my wife that we spend 1 night in Ludlow before we started to stock up on the great local food in the town before heading off to our house. After visiting the local butchers, bakers, cheese shop, and other delis we decided that this rather modern looking but unassuming shop had the best selection at the counter. There are two counters, one with a great selection of local and no so local cheeses and one with home made local food. Both people serving were incredibly friendly and offered us advice let us try samples and we ended up taking away a whole range of foods such as 4 different cheeses, some melanzane alla parmigiana, a local home made pie, and some amazing roast potatoes. All of it was excellent and was the basis for our main meals for the next two days. I was surprised it wasn't on tripadvisor, as most people coming to Ludlow would likely be here for the food, and this place really hit a nice mix.

What a lovely shop. The moment I walked through the door with my husband I was taken back to my childhood of no large supermarkets . This felt like what I wouId call a 'proper food shop'. We were also made to feel welcome and there was a wonderful array of produce. We will be back.

Great place to come to get all things local. Large selection of cheeses and home made pastries. Store cupboard fillers, cooking oils baking products, mix your own muesli, grind your coffee, select your tea. You can also refill your washing powder and fabric softener from the Eco range.
