Circa Deli in Brighton and Hove

Popped in for lunch. Quiche was good. Would have preferred a few more leaves instead of pasta salad with it. Disappointingly, the coffee didn't taste of much.

Good place to sit/eat/coffee in Woodingdean. Food selection may be limited at times compared to the menu but the food is good ime. Relaxed ambience.

Whilst cycling, we popped in here for 2 large coffees and a slice of almond cake. All very delicious and reasonably priced.

Visited here for the first time and was impressed myself and my friend had quiche and a pot of tea. Lovely quiche served with a side salad very flavoursome . Sold lots of goodies and took home sausage rolls and bread which were also tasty Would visit again

We were looking for somewhere en route to Eastbourne when we saw this place, so we parked in a side street. It was 1.30 on a Saturday, but the cafe wasn't busy, so we were served promptly. We ordered a toast with avocado and feta plus another with mushrooms and goats cheese. One plate arrived a few minutes before the other. Both came with a rocket and sun dried tomato salad and were very tasty. The cappuccino was excellent, but the tea came with the bag still in and nowhere to put the bag. We were in a rush, so didn't have time to try the good looking cakes (fewer nuts would be better too)! The music was a bit loud. Excellent value at £4.75 per plate.

The staff are the best closely followed by the coffee!

Egg and cress sandwich was lovely

A surprisingly pleasant cafe experience in Woodingdean. Great coffee and pastries. Parking is problematic, but access the youth centre lot across the road for parking.

Lovely coffee and amazing food. A gem you wouldn't expect to find here. Takeaway or eat in both lovely

The venue for my celebration uses Circa deli as default so not quite sure what to expect. I was however pleasantly impressed. We chose the hot food menu with a few additions on top. The cost was per person and there was plenty to go round. Value for money was good. Would recommend them and use again .

Stopped by for a cuppa, ended up having lunch as looked so yummy! Will definitely recommend to others and visit for a bite to eat when in the area!

Stopped here and had a parma ham,cheese and spinach toastie. Very nice indeed. Good outside seating which is south facing so enjoyed not only delicious food but warm autumn sunshine.

Prompt service and delicious coffee and cake (Orange and chocolate). Highly recommend. Was wet so ate indoors. Very clean.

Coffe could have been a bit hotter

Always enjoy their pastries. Their Old School sausage rolls are excellent.

Have drove past this Deli numerous times whilst working in the area. Finally managed to visit the Deli. The food was beautiful, generous portions and yummy cakes. All fresh and well presented. Great selection of alternative milks too. Outside and inside tables too. Highly recommend will visit again.

Popped in to this lovely cafe and deli just after camping at Chalky Downs. A few friends and I stopped for amazing toasted brie, bacon and cranberry sauce sandwiches. Coffees were great too.

Amazing food and great service.

Absolutely smashing Sunday lunch take away! Very generous portions and all of it delicious. Reheating instructions easy to follow. Lots of thoughtful touches like garnish and condiments.

Got me and my wee granny a take away roast dinner. We were really impressed, massive portion sizes, really affordable and easy to cook (food was not soggy). Would highly recommend 😁

Ordered Sunday roast takeaway for Valentines day. Excelent preparation, and instructions and cooked up to a beautiful meal. Great slice of pork belly as well. Just like their in house meals (before covid) great value for money

Normally not a fan of takeaway as the food is invariably compromised in transit, the quality of Circa Deli Sunday Lunch is astounding. Prepared and packaged to be finished at home before eating, this service takes eating at home pre-prepared food to a completely new and exhilerating level. The transit box comes with ingredients for the perfect Sunday Roast separately packaged to maintain quality together with simple and easy to follow instructions. Obviously, you need an oven and a microwave helps, but within 20-minutes the ingredients had transformed into a gourmet Sunday meal and the further joy is that there is no major washing-up to do! I am a total convert to this simple and easy takeaway. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Spectacular finish at home roast, thank you! This was one of the best roasts we have ever had. The plates show 1 portion shared between 2 so that we can have the same again tomorrow. All the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Took a total of 30mins (we put the pork under the grill for the last few minutes to really crisp up). The good bits: roast pork, roast potatoes, yorkies and veg seasoned to perfection. The gravy was so rich and meaty. The cauliflower cheese, pigs in blankets and stuffing were so delicious and the perfect compliment to it all. The bad bits: absolutely nothing! I cannot recommend this roast highly enough. Please carry on doing these after lockdown 🙏😊

Wow!! These roast dinners are amazing! So quick and easy to cook once home too - only took about 15 minutes! The flavours and attention to detail were outstanding with beautiful garnish and the crispiest roast spuds I’ve had! My kids absolutely loved them too and it was great that we could all choose different meats to suit our own taste! The cocktails are super gorgeous too! A total find!!! Highly recommend! Liz

Soo Good! Great tasty salads, leaves you wanting more, quality ingredients skilfully put togheter, very nice service, excellent taste!

I ordered 2 roast chicken lunches and 2 puddings. Circa Deli is easy to find about 200m past the auction house on Warren Road and before the petrol station. There is parking either out front or in the side street. The food was boxed ready for collection with precise instruction on how to warm it through. The chicken was very tender and beautifully seasoned with a herb jus. There was a large selection of vegetables and all were cooked perfectly. I particularly liked the roast carrots, parsnips and cauliflower cheese. The meal comes with a tasty gravy .I'm not a big eater but there is sufficient for another full serving left for my wife and me. We chose the orange and chocolate bread and butter pudding a sticky toffee pudding. The bread and butter pudding was quite the best I have ever tasted with a yummy orangey custard sauce . My wife cleaned her plate and loved the syrup sauce with the toffee pudding. We will be back.

Had our first roast dinner from Circa and it was fricking AMAZING, never had such an amazing tasty roast in all my life - thank you Circa Deli 🙌🏻

What a lovely place. the food was perfect! The staff helpful and friendly

Loved it. Had a coffee and a cake. Yum.

Nice food, friendly staff, home made feel.

Friendly staff, prompt service, good prices and great quality food and drinks! What more could you want! Keep supporting local small businesses, that's what I say!! I'll be back again soon, be assured of that!!

Nice cafe with friendly staff. A reasonable selection of drinks and snacks too.

Excellent service - keeps us smiling

Local deli, coffee shop, restaurant which is dog friendly

I had a nice coffee but the pastry I had was not very fresh at all. It was so hard I had to dunk it in my coffee, no wheelchair access that I could see. Staff not very welcoming this morning. So not that amazing. Also the chairs are very uncomfortable

Dogs given a warm welcome. Very tasty, homemade food, the soup is delicious. Definitely go again.

Great staff, fab food and a lovely place to go.

Some of the best sarnies around

Best coffee I've had in a long time,the staff were so welcoming and friendly cant wait to visit again.

Firstly the positives, food is good and drinks are also good. We visited midweek at 1400ish, when the café was quiet. The waitress was in a bad mood. After giving my wife an incorrect order, she then moaned about my wife loudly enough that the whole café could hear. When the waitress delivered the correct order she slammed it on the table and didn't apologise. Our friends had a similar encounter, with a member of staff in a bad mood a few weeks before. Disappointing!

Had the most amazing gluten free chocolate brownie sitting in the sun highly recommend.

Great little independent establishment. Busy at lunchtimes, friendly welcome and always some good vegetarian options on the menu. A stones throw from the Nuffield Hospital, if you're visiting and looking for a light lunch this is ideal.

De had breakfast Muffins.Delicious!!!!

Love this place, great coffee, great food ,great staff can sit outside and look out , it’s just fabulous,

Nice cakes and rolls, they run out of cake quite regularly xx

Lov this deli so much best coffee and staff so nice have my own table in the summer as their all day

A great cup of coffee and an awesome sausage roll! It was great to finally stop in today, especially as Circa Events catered out wedding 6 years ago! Great to see you're busy!!

Would definitely recommend this Deli. Lovely friendly staff, great coffee and tasty hot sandwiches/ciabatta/rolls.

Great little cafe. Good food & pleasant staff. Just over the road from the hospital in Woodingdean. Well worth a visit.

Lovely friendly staff serving great food at a great price

Nice food, lovely staff, would definitely recommend

Really cute cafe! Coffee was great, service was friendly and polite. If I'm ever over these sides again I would return!

Had a wonderful evening at Circa Deli where we attended a wine and cheese evening. The interior is lovely and really stylish and the service was five star. Sam and Jaz the hosts were very welcoming and extremely professional, telling us about the cheeses and wine. I was particularly impressed with the emphasis on using locally sourced produce, I didn't even know Brighton Blue existed. It was delicious. All in all a great evening and would highly recommend. Many thanks to all the team.

We had a great time at the Circa Deli pop up night, locally sourced cheese and chutneys, beautifully presented in generous portions. The atmosphere was ambient friendly and relaxed. Staff were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed this evening.

Love the cafe and staff always a really friendly welcome and great coffee... So please woodingdean has such a great cafe, and so close to where I live.

Delicious food, super friendly staff, nice athmosphere and lovely interior

Friendly staff. Pity it's dog friendly.

So yum, fresh pesto on my mozzarella, tomoato sandwich, and a cinnamon latte with cute short bread cookie! Fantastic after a walk on the downs!

Very nice staff really helpful xx

friendly and local and very accommodating. Nice ambiance and very clean. Good choice and moderately priced.

Great deli. Dog friendly and friendly staff!

Food is delicious, the atmosphere is really great, very polite staff but service is a bit poor... In three of the nine orders me and my colleagues placed there were things missing and two were very much delayed from the others. Lacking a bit of organisation and promptness doing things.

Great food, lovely staff. Excellent value for money, would highly recommend

We were looking for somewhere en route to Eastbourne when we saw this place, so we parked in a side street. It was 1.30 on a Saturday, but the cafe wasn't busy, so we were served promptly.

We were in a rush, so didn't have time to try the good looking cakes (fewer nuts would be better too)! The music was a bit loud. Excellent value at £4.75 per plate.

The staff are truly wonderful, so chatty and kind! Really nice lattes! Tasty muffins and not badly priced. Highly recommend.

Over priced here. Some nice ideas but not the best quality. Toasted sandwich one slice of ham over £4 . Service usually quite unprofessional. Could tell you most of the staffs personal problems as they air them quite loudly . Coffee often burned.

Great deli / cafe. Food is great, especially the cakes.

Great coffee and lovely friendly staff.

I came into Circa Deli for a bite to eat and the reason I took one star away is because it is a long wait,but it was definitely one of the best pains a chocolate I’ve had in a long time

Needs more vegan options, but very friendly service.

Food is great! Service is too slow. It’s busy because the food is fantastic but the set up takes too long.

The food and drinks are lovely and the staff polite and cheery. The lighting is pretty. The only reason I have scored three is the noise. For some reason it's really echoy and the music too loud to enjoy conversation.

Lovely local deli serving delicious locally sourced produce. Coffee inc. iced coffee wonderful, along with tasty lunch and cakes.

We overshot the car park for the races. It didn’t matter. We were early anyway. Assuming that there was bound to be civilisation and somewhere to turn the car around over the hill we carried on, boldly. Like Scott of the Antarctic or one of the captains out of Star Trek (probably to one who did the spoken-word “Rocket Man” cover).

Always good food and friendly service. The vegetarian options are delicious and they’re dog friendly too.

Visited here for the first time and was impressed myself and my friend had quiche and a pot of tea.

Reluctantly came back to Circa as my client asked to meet here and although the food was an improvement the service was sadly not. It seems at key times of the day the low level of staff are drawn to deal with the takeaway customers leaving the eat in customers with no service whatsoever. It's clear that their event work subsidizes their restaurant sales which without it would certainly not survive. Very very poor all round.

Good friendly service, delicious cakes.

Amazing food, lots of veggie and gluten free options too. The staff are very friendly and the coffee is fantastic too!

So glad this shop has stayed open in Woodingdean, serves a great selection of deli goods and delicious coffee. Happily go the extra 20 mins walk to be here. Keep up the good work folks, you're setting the bar high for other cafes in the area.

Friendly staff, great coffee, lovely muffins

Great little place in woodingdean, staff are all so friendly, food is great and they're dog friendly too!

Nice cafe with good coffee and food, plenty of vegi options & dog friendly

Nice little Deli. Also, the best coffee by far. Beats Café Costabucks any day!

Nice surroundings and lovely food

Came across this deli by chance. Great food,reasonable prices and friendly service. Make a detour if necessary to visit.☺

They make a really nice coffee and serve it with a smile. Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by.

Well stocked fresh food Very tasty and affordable Will be back The service was great and the choice of food very interesting Easy to park outside Was even open on bank holiday at Easter

We stopped here for a quick drink and we were enticed by the delicious looking sausage roll and homemade lemon cake. Both were great and left us wanting more! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Early Bacon Roll and Tea... Fresh roll and great crispy bacon ( no mass produced supermarket crap) Clean and friendly place

This is our local coffee shop/deli and we are so lucky it's near us. They do amazing coffee, cakes, sandwiches, artisinal breads, craft beer, gelato, incredible cheeses and much more. A trip to Woodingdean and beyond won't be complete without popping in here.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's great for a quick lunch. The veggie options are nice. Convenient and friendly.

This is a new find for us but it's amazing we will definitely be using this place on a regular basis and recommend everyone to try them out especially their amazing biscuits! Yum!

What this village needed, decent bread and coffee. On top of that great lunches, snacks in a stylish cafe with friendly staff. Keep it up Circa!

I find myself always popping in to buy coffee and cakes. Always something different everytime you go in. My kids are addicted to the gluten free chocolate brownies on sale here! we also got a spiced sweet potato cake once that was brilliant.

We had a group of 20 people for a fine dining experience at the Deli on a Friday night. This was the first event that Marc and his team had undertaken and from the feedback from our group they cracked it. The food was brilliant and some of our guests thought had Masterchef touches. The service was first class and we all had a terrific evening. The Deli has just got it's drinks license and has a good selection of wines.

The only place serving food in Woodingdean which I would rate as a destination. The food is delicious and you can have great banter with the staff. The bread is to die for.

Having used Circa Deli for a good while now, today's visit was very dissapointing and the lady who usually works there seems to be there no more? Such a shame.

The coffee is delicious and is roasted locally at a small batch roasters called Pharmacie. A tasty shortbread biscuit comes with it. The service is super friendly and dogs are welcome inside. I had a lovely croque monsieur for lunch. It's great to have a good coffee shop to go to locally and not have to trek all the way to town.

Really cute deli, tucked away next to the Tesco Express and Petrol Station at the end of the parade of shops. Super real coffee served with tasty home made shortbread biscuit on the side, wonderful looking cakes and savouries (to be sampled next time!) and great service.
