Food Fanatics in Tewkesbury

Visited 18/8; staff were excellent! Professional and friendly and super efficient too! Coffee is three sizes which is great for choice.

We stumbled upon this wonderful deli with counter service shop while enjoying a day with the local train. It was perfect for our family- the food was excellent, especially the biscotti cheesecake. There is also a variety of speciality items for sale, gifts and jams and beers. The staff was friendly and polite.

Monday morning in Winchcombe is tricky for breakfast but at Williams, we found fabulous coffee and deli but couldn’t help but notice that the two air conditioning units in the seating area are in urgent need of servicing..

Nice delicatessen / coffee shop in Winchcombe. Good range of local foods and wine selection. Coffee is available in different sizes / strengths which is commendable and served with Biscoff. Order at the counter then delivered to your table.

Please may could your Customers have a daily newspaper or appropriate monthly magazine ( (currently only the Christmas versions are still on display) available to read as many customers do enjoy reading material as relaxation over a cup of Coffee . Thank you !

This place is wonderful. Delicious food served by kind and welcoming people. The scotch eggs and veg samosas were top notch. Thank you! We visited a while back, so you might not remember but we wanted to say an extra big thanks for your help, giving us the chance for a perfect end to a wonder trip to your beautiful village and countryside.

Seems like Winchcombe has become a desert of good service! Having left The Tipsy Egg Café around the corner for being ignored we were visited upon here by poor management of "staff shortages" effectively blaming the customer for that! "No, we haven't got that". "No, we don't have time to do that". etc. All really rather expensive anyway thus making all the shortcomings here harder to swallow (no pun intended)! We decamped to The Coffee Pot at the heritage railway station - watch out for their review; they played a blinder going some considerable way to sparing Winchcombe's blushes!

Very unwelcoming due to shortage of staff. My toastie was ham and cheese, seriously lacking on both not worth £5.99 . Wont be returning as I like to enjoy lunch.

Excellent paninis. Good friendly service. Small negative was luke warm coffee. Otherwise a good stop over for a snack with an attached deli and grocery.

We used to love coming for Sunday breakfast after a walk, and you could read the papers and see people we knew. We're glad the cafe is open again, post-pandemic, and I've been in a few times recently with friends. Great coffee and lovely cakes, but the deli food is is also great for a light lunch. Food Fanatics is very central and convenient, just off the High Street and among interesting and useful shops.

We’d been out walking and were keen to sit and relax whilst eating a hearty lunch. Perching on the 2 high stools by the window the food was ok it looked bland with no type of garnish, just what you asked for on a white plate. Expensive for what it was (panini and coleslaw for one and a scotch egg and coleslaw for the other). We both left feeling hungry and disappointed by the our lunch. We were also disappointed by the manner of the staff. Winchcombe town sign says Winchcombe welcomes walkers, but we beg to differ. Maybe customers are an inconvenience here? We really wanted to like it but won’t be back and wish we’d gone elsewhere.

Admittedly this was not our first choice being off the High St (first two were full) but it was well chosen. The deli is great. We had our meal at the high bar so we could people watch. The quiches and homemade slaw were good as was the hot apple juice. Very clean. They are quite scrupulous about sanitising after every customer. You really can't complain about that. The staff wear masks and they seem relaxed about whether you choose to or not.

My friend and I were walking the Cotswold Way and had called into the tourist information centre and they recommended this place for lunch. It was fairly busy but only one person in front of me at the counter. My friend took a seat and I waited at the counter to order. I was then told very abruptly to ask my friend to move from the table and sit on the 2 seats in the window. I was told the table we had chosen was for 4 people! My friend moved to the window to find the seats were high bar stools. We had been walking for 10 miles and the thought of sitting on high stools did not appeal. So my friend found another table which was 2 seats which looks more comfortable. The very rude Middle Aged lady serving caused a scene by shouting across to my friend telling her not to sit there. She then pointed to the sign and very rudely told me I am supposed to wait when all I had done was stand and wait to order. We just gathered our things and walked out. They obviously didn’t like the fact we were walkers and had rucksacks taking up space in their small cafe area. I was very shocked and can honestly say I have never experienced such bad customer service. Fortunately we found a lovely bakery round the corner who even though they were busy found us seats and we had a delicious lunch there. I would avoid this place like the plague. I was not surprised to read very similar reviews of this place. It seems they have no idea how to serve people!

The food served here is of good quality. From siple tea/coffee and toast to a breakfast. This a=is also a quality food shop. The staff are exceptional and the tables, seating etc is always cleaned when vacated by customers. Not many are continuing with this regime, now that formal restrictions have been lifted. The staff all wore masks and asked customers to do so but there was no compulsion to do so.

Popped in for something to eat in the cafe and was first visit. Very limited menu and small number of tables, but the paninis where excellent. Service was good, but nothing special. The deli has an excellent range of items and so ended up buying a few.

Fabulous deli with a very lacklustre cafe. The toasted panini is just that, a few crisps and a salad garnish would have boosted the offering significantly. A friendly smile is always a plus, but was clearly not on the menu.

Waited at the counter to order some takeaway cakes for around 10 minutes whilst two servers did not give us any eye contact or let us know they would be with us in a moment. Do not mind waiting but they acted as if we were invisible so walked out empty handed.

fantastic deli, great local produce - cheeses, cider, beer and all sorts of nice things from the area. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the coffee isn't bad either! Sit in or takeaway, coffee and light bites.

Well organised, clean, sanitised and friendly. Good quality coffee, tea etc and nicely served snacks.

We just visited Food Fanatics in Winchcombe, we asked for a table to be told none were available but we could have take away drinks; there were two taken tables and one reserved when we entered. A couple were leaving and offered us their table but the rude man serving told us we could not have it, and as we waited for drinks, a second group entered and were offered the table!! I queried this with the exceptionally rude middle aged man behind the till to be told in a sarcastic fashion he was sorry if I was unhappy but the other people came in and the reserved table was free until 12! Astoundingly rude, awful service and I’ll be sure to let my local friends know that apparently young families are not the desired clientele here! We won’t be supporting that local business with that attitude!

Friends of ours had spoken so highly of food fanatics complementing the quality of the food and the ambiance. In fairness we only stopped for a Cup of coffee on a Sunday morning (it is good that they are open on Sundays!) but our experience...

Our local go to place for lovely coffee and cheese scones but they have also kept us going during the pandemic with grocery deliveries.Nothing too much trouble and always willing to go the extra mile to locate your needs

Lovely little gem. Great deli with lovely food offerings. We went for coffee every morning while staying in Winchcombe. Nice, helpful people working there!

We stumbled across Food Fanatics while wandering around Winchcombe, what a lucky find for us. We stopped for coffee and cake, although my wife choose a pot of loose leaf tea, and I had a cappuchino. The tea was excellent and I enjoyed the coffee,...

Have been in on numerous occasions, but cant understand why we go back ! The food each time we have sat down to eat has been mediocre in quality, and the atmosphere is so lacking in warmth and friendliness. You really feel like the staff...

We called in for lunch, and ordered a sandwich, a toasted sandwich, two cups of tea and two cakes. The tea and cakes arrived after 5-10 minutes, but the sandwich and toasted sandwich took over half an hour, which we thought very slow for a...

I live near Winchcombe and use FF a lot. Today I popped in for a sandwich to take out. They make them to order. Oh my what a sandwich. Tuna with olives and spicy mayo plus salad. Bread fresh and crust crunchy. Best sandwich ever....

We were saying locally and dropped in for a coffee. What charming and welcoming staff, food was very nice and reasonably priced. It became our go to place while we were there

In this pretty historic village it was a pleasant surprise to find a venue with automatic doors and space to eat or shop if you have limited mobility

I popped in for tea (and a snack) quite early in the morning on a Tuesday at around 0900 am whilst waiting for a friend who had some distance to travel tea and toasted sandwich was ordered and paid for at the counter and bought...

Felt like a distraction and had to wait ages fir my coffee and cake.. salad drowned in dressing and shop bought style coleslaw .. no smiles from staff and owner... disappointed from last visit

Only visited for morning coffee and snack. Order placed and paid for before sitting down. Coffee arrived in 5 minutes and it was hot with hot milk on the side. Coffee had a wonderful flavour and if time had allowed I would have had a...

Food Fanatics is a deli and cafe on North Street in Winchcombe.Stopped there for a well deserved coffee and cake after finishing the first 18 mile leg of the Cotswold Way Walk, Chipping Campden to Winchcombe. Coffee and cake very good.

This is a deli & small grocery store. You can order soup, sandwiches, hot & cold drinks to either eat there or take out. In addition, they sell a wide variety of products including teas, jams, mustards, chutney etc. I had a sandwich & tea,...

This deli come cafe was really nice. Their cappachino was very good along with their ham & strong cheese croissant. The store had a great selection of local fresh produce to jars of preserves. The staff were really nice too.

Went there for coffee and cake, coffee was hot and the cake was good, even bought some ham on the bone to take home and it was fantastic

God cafe og supermarked. Kaffen er god og der er stort udvalg af kager, mad osv. Fødevarer er der ikke så stort udvalg, men det set godt id

Visité con la familia en un feriado bancario. No hay muchos lugares de comida abiertos, pero esto fue servir comida hasta las 5 pm el lunes festivo.

Called in today as passing and it looked nice from outside - what a mistake ! found a table covered in dirty cups and plates so started to stack the plates while the wife sat down . Grumpy old Git turned up with a tray and stood staring at me as if I had insulted him by tidying up his dirty crocks ?.I said just giving you a hand tidy up , he replied - I will tidy up when you sit down ! WOW !!

Located on North Street this is a good deli to explore and from where to buy some special items. There is a small but popular coffee area and if you can get a seat then its a good place to take a short break.

Llegué a través de los fanáticos de los alimentos después de bajarse del tren de vapor Gloucestershire Warwickshire en Winchcombe y dar un paseo por la zona. Es una combinación de una granja artesanal y una cafetería, con una buena selección de comida y precios bastante razonables.

He utilizado este café y delicatessen en varias ocasiones cuando me estoy quedando en Winchcombe o al final de un día caminando

Hace unas semanas fue mi segunda visita, y lamentablemente mi última. Mi primera visita estuvo bien, sin embargo, el personal (no todos, solo una cierta pareja) no fue acogedor ni amistoso, de hecho, fue bastante grosero al tomar mi pedido y lo mismo otra vez para mi segunda visita, ya que era la misma persona que servía. No me gusta dejar comentarios como este o leerlos, pero no aprecio ir a algún lugar donde gasto dinero para que me desairen. Decepcionante, ya que la comida era deliciosa y el resto del personal era amable.

Visited a couple of times as staying locally. Great deli selection of cheeses, wines, beers, amazing condiments and the pies, quiche and scotch eggs were excellent. Also have a small selection of vegetables. Perfect to stock up before a picnic.

........here recently and was excited by the range of foodstuffs on offer and the friendly and knowledgeable service too. I left with some Worcestershire Hop cheese and a pork pie - both of which proved to be most toothsome on consumption.

What a treasure trove of all things yummy in such a small space so you don't have to go far! Everything from coffee to fudge to chutneys to go with the cheese, wine. I'm surprised I made it out the door!

Fui a tomar un té y un pastel que era realmente agradable. Cuando le pregunté a la camarera por un poco de agua caliente extra para mi Earl Grey, ella respondió: "No lo hacemos, lo haré esta vez, pero NO volveré a preguntar" ella simplemente me dio una mirada tan sucia. Nunca me han negado el agua caliente, con gusto lo pagaría para poder disfrutar de mi taza, ¡qué actitud!

One can always find some very nice and often unusual deli items here. The food, hot and cold, is excellent and served by friendly staff. Just a coffee or light lunch, great.

We had a delicious breakfast here, the food was fresh, local and very tasty. The staff are friendly and there are newspapers out to read. Highly recommend!

We had lunch at Food Fanatics after walking the Cotswold Way from Stanton. We had coffee’s with a Ham & Cheese Plate (ploughman’s lunch) and sandwich’s. The staff & service were friendly and efficient. The food was good and tasty, clearly freshly made with local produce.

We had been traveling for 20 hours straight and were tired and hungry. We stopped by Food Fanatics and it was awesome. I had the best cup of hot tea ever, along with a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and gluten free chocolate cheesecake which was outstanding.

We were very well received by the staff and eventhough we arrived 10mins before closing time, they prepared two really delicious, generous, fresh sandwiches. We also had gluten free options for the sandwiches and the cakes. Very glad to have visited Food Fanatics when all other pubs around were not serving food (between 14:00 and 18:00).

Thie is a deli, restaurant and store all in one. We stopped here and had such a good dinner we came the next day to pick up a lunch for our hike. They deserve the high rating given.

I cannot comment on the food/drinks but i did find a selection of local beers to buy that i had never tried. Helpful staff.

This is the kind of place where you choose your food at the deli counter and it gets heated up (or not) and brought to your table.

A great place for a coffee and cake or something a little more substantial. Friendly service. Also a delicatessen and foodie gift shop. The salted caramel ice cream is delicious.

I stopped at this great place yet again whilst waiting for the bus back to Cheltenham - best bet is to find somewhere to sit, order and pay at the counter and items are bought to you

My wife and I was driving through Winchcombe on Monday 6th and noticed Food Fanatics so decided to have a light lunch. We shared the Roasted Smoke Salmon with rocket leaf salad, coleslaw, mustard and dill sauce and granary bread £9.95 plus the Coarse Pate with toast, spiced apricot and orange chutney, small side salad £4.95 and they were both lovely flavour and texture. To accompany we had a 175 ml of Sauvignon Blanc £3.50 and 175ml Cabinet Sauvignon £3.50 ( i perhaps picked the wrong wine as I did not enjoy it or perhaps they could have a slightly more expensive one).

Very good deli shop as well as a nice café. Well stocked lunch menu. The food was great. Good service too. A must if you are in Winchcombe!

I always stop here for a coffee when I am in Winchcombe and today was a hot one so I ordered a café frappe which was delicious and enjoyed it sitting outside.

Stopped here last week for a coffee and cake, was made welcome and service was good. Lovely range of cakes to choose from. Had a look round the deli afterwards and noted they had good quality unusual items, many of which were locally sourced. Would certainly go here again.

Great , extensive choice of lovely food, even gluten free! Very friendly, efficient team, and a lovely atmosphere to have a coffee/snack and watch the world go by.

We popped into after a weekend of walking late on a very hot Sunday afternoon. We were pleased it was still open and even more pleased with the mint tea and Damson and sloe gin ice cream. I also noticed they had veggi scotch eggs from the Scotch egg Co. I usually can only get these at Wonderwool yarn festival in Wales so was delighted to buy a couple for our lunch. We were too tired to have a good look round but there is a wonderful selection of cheese, and unusual produce. We were also delighted to find a free tap water despenser on the counter. Just what is needed these days in an effort to reduce plastic waste.

We have been to Food Fanatics in Winchcombe several times and have always been impressed. On our recent visit we stopped for a late lunch and despite the time found a good choice of items, even for our fussy vegetarian. We were able to make slight adaptations to the sandwiches we chose, eg changing the relish, omitting dressing etc, which is always a good sign! We were served quickly and our food arrived promptly and tasted delicious. When we returned to buy some food from the deli to take home, we were served by a rather grumpy and slow member of staff. Everyone else was very helpful though, even when confronted by another customer who was very rude! We shall definitely be returning.

Stopped by for a coffee and sandwich,lovely food but asked for a diet drink for a Diabetic and was told they do not have any? No apology for that. Seems odd when all these sugary drinks are bad for your health.Found the staff not over friendly but the food was nice and had a good selection on the Deli counter.

Stopped on the Cotswolds Way for a strong coffee. Delighted to find this establishment which served mugs of coffee and had an amazing selection of cakes etc. Opted to have the flapjack, which was excellent. The other food and deli selection also looked very good

Popped in for a light lunch. Excellent food choices. The service could have been a little better - not overly fast for a deli style café - but overall, very good. Would certainly go again.

Called in for Saturday lunch and ordered a sandwich for myself and cake for my wife. My wife’s cake and our drinks arrived after 5 minutes but no sign if the sandwich. My wife had finished her food and we had both finished our drinks 10 minutes before the sandwich finally appeared.

This takes you 100m off the route, but you won't regret it. Had a salami sandwich on malted brown, excellent, you can have it to eat in or takeaway. Lots of choice in food and drinks. Service friendly or excellent. Strong recommendation for a lunch stop.

I was staying in Winchcombe for the weekend and not having a car, I needed to be able to buy food and I was able to buy excellent food from the deli - yes it is on the expensive side but it is also good value

Called in for breakfast. The service was not good. In fact waiting nearly 15 minutes for a Cappuccino is not good. I know we all like fresh food, but waiting 35 minutes for cooked breakfast is unacceptable level of service. The black spot bacon was good, but the sausage was bland and they need to be taught how to properly fry an egg. Whilst i waited someone else complained for the wait for a coffee and they brought another person the wrong breakfast. This is a nice shop with nice food, but I would reiterate that eating there is a nightmare. I also separately bought 3 local beers for which they rang up £15.00 plus, they couldn't even get that right!. Hunt.. you can get local beer cheaper at the Coop.

Great sandwiches, quiches, etc at this lovely Deli in the centre of Winchcombe. We had Roast Turkey and BLT, both of fresh Granary bread....lovely!

Wide range of delicious delicacies that make choosing difficult, but there is no need to worry as it is all wonderful. Highly recommended.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Had Ducksbill Ham and cheddar. Excellent quality food. The coffee was good quality as well. Very impressed

After a soggy run along the cotswold way my friend and I popped in here for lunch. To drink, my friend had a latte whilst I had a pot of tea. The tea came in an unusual glass pot which had a device where you could make the tea stronger. I wasn't sure how to use it but the lady at the counter kindly came over without me having to ask and explained how it worked.

After visiting the spring homes & garden fair at Sudeley Castle we had a walk around the town and dropped into Food Fanatics for a pit stop and we were all impressed by the quality of the hot sandwiches and the friendly service and the range of delishious foods available in the deli.

Popped in this morning, having seen recommendations on FB, to buy some cakes for a family coffee get together. Really fantastic selection, friendly and helpful staff and tasty cakes at a good price.

This is a lovely little deli with all kinds of foods cheeses and meats we were able to try. Owner comes over a bit 'stern' though. Would return however, despite this.

over priced would be the best place to sum this place up, but none the less the coffee was nice, my partner wasn't keen on the tea or her cake, money that was wasted to be fair

Support your local deli - cafe because this place is well worth keeping open. Even though the service is occasionally slow and, on odd occasions, grumpy the selection of food available is wide and the quality generally very good indeed. Coffee is excellent.

stopped off for lunch found staff member very rude i have hearing problem explained that to staff member who was very rude .food ok but would not visit again

There is a good range of food behind the counter at this cafe: with a range of quiches, tarts and pies to please vegetarians (like my friend and me) and those of carnivorous diets. The place is clean and smart. The coolness from the staff bordered on the unfriendly, and for that reason we would try other cafes if visiting the area again.

Stopped here after a morning walk in the area. Looked a nice cafe from the outside with several customers inside. We had a bacon and a sausage baguette, which were both excellent and of very good quality. They also came with a little side salad. The tomato sauce was very tasty and was available to buy in the shop. The staff were very pleasant & friendly. We enjoyed our experience and felt quite relaxed. I would definitely revisit here and look forward to trying something else from the menu. I'm sure I wouldn't be disappointed.

I very much enjoy going to this place as it is always open when I need it at the end of the day and whilst waiting for the bus to go back to Cheltenham - other places are available I know but I am now finding that I am a creature of habit when going to Winchcombe for the day.Find a place to sit, decide what you are having and order and pay at the counter and then the orders are bought to the table - very enjoyable pot of tea and caramel flapjack - felt more refreshed before making the journey backLook forward to more visits and one day I will bring some friends with me and hope that they will be equally impressed - I find it a nice relaxed atmosphere and never feel rushed even at the later part of the day - it does well as it doubles up as a deli and I have got excellent stuff there in the past

I have been in the area for work today and popped into this shop to grab some lunch. I was impressed with the range of food available with a large quantity of savoury snacks such as scotch eggs, pasties etc.. I opted for a toastie and a scotch egg and although prices were on the higher side (note: if you eat in it's £1 or 2 more than the takeaway price). I was very impressed. I was served with a smile and the staff were extremely friendly throughout. Will definitely recommend and definitely come back when I'm next in the area.

Popped in for a quick lunchtime meet - first visit so not sure what to expect but everything looked good. Toasted goats cheese sandwich with apricot chutney and small side salad - not the cheapest but it was good and I really enjoyed it. Definitely would go back and try another choice. Friend had salmon salad - dairy-free coleslaw and gluten-free bread provided without fuss. All very enjoyable. Steadily busy which is always a good sign.

Found this and were drawn into the Aladdin's Cave of a Deli. In the deli counter all looked superb. Eventually chose Smooth Pate & superb olives ~ Salmon Salad ~ Florentine for me ~ flapjack ~ Iced coffee & a Smoothie ~ all excellent ~ bill for 2 very reasonable ~ a great deli pit stop!

We decided to have breakfast at this deli as it looked nice, we had at least a 20 min wait, just for eggs on tost and granola with yoghurt! My granola was so bitter had to ask for more honey as could not eat it, had a tiny bit of honey arrive only to find it still too bitter to eat, so left half of it. Coffee was good though! Table as so close together you feel like you cant speak as everyone can hear you!No atmosphere at all, and no music, will not be back anytime soon! Very dissapointing!

We only popped in for a takeaway sandwich. They did look good. But then we saw the amazing array of tempting savoury offerings, put the sandwiches back, and ordered lunch to sit in the café.Service was helpful when we ordered at the counter. There was a longish wait for our food but that only sharpened the appetite. I had a generous slice of quiche with peppers, feta and spinach. As requested, my side salad came without dressing and was very fresh. The quiche was very good, and my companion's savoury tart was declared excellent too. Nice touches - tap water came in a jug with ice, for instance.We were simply strolling past when we spotted Food Fanatics so this was a really fortunate find. Highly recommended.

As we had recently ate breakfast and saw this wonderful cafe/deli on our way to Snowshill Manor we had to call in for a coffee and a strawberry milkshake, the service was prompt and polite, the cafe was spotless and I just wish I was hungry enough to try the food on offer as it all looked delicious. Everything you could possible need was on offer in the deli, it was very well stocked.Next time we visit this area we will definitely try out the food.

My wife and I asked a group of local businessman for a lunch recommendation and without hesitation they suggested Food Fanatics. We were certainly not disappointed - the smooth pate and toast and ham and cheese salad, both well presented, were excellent. Together with professional and friendly staff and an interesting array of quality deli items this establishment will assure an early return for us when we're next in the area.

Open cafe style relaxed where you can sit in the window (bar style) to eat and drink then buy local produce for dinner in the evening. The Eccles cakes are the best I've had. You can also drink a beer with your sandwich. Easygoing with good service then a nice stroll around Winchombe afterwards.
