Food For Thought in The Vale of Glamorgan

Always stunning! The baguettes and sandwiches are the best in the area in my opinion, (try Chicken Tikka with mint jelly, or the lamb and mint!) and there's a big selection of deli snacks, cakes, crisps, coffee etc. The staff are all lovely too. I'd get my lunch from here every day if I could!

Love this place, amazing food and Natalie is an absolute star. I’ll be driving down to Barry soon just to pick up a sandwich. Ben W

Always a queue, staff falling over each other and shout at the top of their voices, food expensive, misguided food hygiene.

We enjoy an office treat from the deli. We often order more than 10 baguettes, sandwiches and jacket potatoes for lunch the food is fantastic. They are very well organised with social distancing at all times. The food is always fresh and tasty. Hot food is always hot when we get back to the office. Thank you for your amazing service from staff at communication hub. Xxxx

The tastiest selection of treats you'll find anywhere. The best ham I've ever tasted and a gorgeous selection of sandwiches all served by lovely, friendly, helpful staff.

Great food,great staff. Ideal to pop in for a quick lunch. Fresh Home made food every day. Their little pasties are the best. My favourite is the panini's very filling at a great price

Fantastic Deli with wonderful baguettes made to order. Great array of cheeses and cold meats. Lovely bread and cakes and pasties and sausage rolls made on the premesis. I’ve been shopping here for years and just love it. It’s a local family run business with wonderful staff. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I grew up in Barry & The Deli was always a luxury for me when I was a teenager. I moved to Gloucester around 7 years ago, but whenever I come back for the day, it’s the first place I head to before visiting anyone/anything else. The staff are lush & the baguettes/food are fab, too. Don’t ever change!

We have visited here for many years and the shop is always busy. The baguettes are stunning with a vast choice of fillings. When ever we are in Barry we always pop in for a baguette. Would definitely recommend. The prices are reasonable and the staff are very nice.

Been there years...family run business. Friendly. Always happy to help. Delicious choice of cold meat and sandwich fillers, great for a Tapas style tea too!

They do seriously good sandwiches and baguettes here. The bread is always really fresh and the fillings are generous and really tasty. The people who work here are really chatty and friendly.

There are a number of different combinations of fillings available. All of them delicious and will make your lunch go with explosions. Try it! Recommended.

Nice variety of products and a great baguette bar with a great variety of filling. Plus very tastie veggie samosas.

Love the mini corned beef Pasties here , home made and they taste so good , everybody should try them.

Fab place, with friendly staff and first class baguettes freshly prepared in front of you. Excellent range of products in the deli too. Always stop in for lunch if I'm in Barry.

This small deli has a fantastic range of cakes and sandwiches. Always a wait, a queue at lunch time.

After walking around Barry and then heading up to the high street coming across this place felt like the only place to try and have something for lunch (used to living in a city and lots of places available). Had a great selection of items to have for lunch , we both had turkey and stuffing which was great to see them actually freshly made! Very busy place but the queue went down fairly quickly! Staff were friendly and seemed to be having fun and a laugh with one another! Food tasted great would definitely recommend , just as shame there’s no where you can sit and eat.

I Googled the best breakfast in Barry and Food for Thought was top or at least up high - but actually, they are very nice but they don't serve breakfast-!!

Having grown up in Barry I have been to Food for Thought more times than I can remember. Never had a bad tikka baguette from there, they are well priced, always fresh and absolutely lush. The pasties are worth buying as well, they are really nice as well as the sausage rolls.

Very friendly staff and excellent food what else could you ask for, there is such a selection to choose from. Thank you

Coronation chicken is delicious...and really friendly service. A really old fashioned and good quality sandwich shop...it's great!

Popped in on Saturday morning for a baguette, we both had chicken tikka which was lovely, not premixed, but a portion of chicken that was coated, great choice of salad items, oh also had a cheeky shortbread and jam slice that was awesome. Many thanks.

I had chicken tikka and my gf had coronation chicken. Both were lovely and freshly made. Didn't know about this little gem. Shall return.

I often drive from Abergavenny to here purely for a baguette, they're that good! The chicken tikka baguette with mint sauce and mayo is out of this world!

Whenever I’m in Barry this is my must go to place. We always order Chicken Tikka Baguettes which are made fresh for you very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious.

Been coming here for years - from the delicious offerings to the cheery friendliness of the staff means it is a go to for a freshly made baguette for lunch or to grab a quick coffee. If you are in high street try them you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended

Perfect baguettes and sandwiches - great fresh bakery items and lovely staff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 good value for money

I have been visiting here for over 25 years. The baguettes they make up to order are delicious and the cold meats are also really good. I get my bread here every week and love it. What makes the Deli stand out is the really friendly and helpful Owners and staff. I would highly recommend a visit.

Superb buffet laid on for a private function . Excellent variety/choice of fresh homemade food was offered at a great price. This family run business is second to none when it comes to the quality of food used. Highly recommend a visit to this friendly deli

we order regularly as a treat on usually fridays, great choice, pre order and collection, every baguette choice you could ask for, some nice cakes for afters :) Would recommend we love it

A little jewel in the heart of Barry, amazing staff, great homemade pastries and out of this world filled baguettes and sandwiches.

Always a fantastic friendly service, the baguettes are stunning, always gorgeous. Never a disappointment, my family comes down regularly from Birmingham & we always have to visit. Best baguettes ever!!

always service with a smile, food served is fresh and always tasty. Even on the gloomiest of days you can expect staff to be friendly and cheery

Fabulous staff, amazing baguettes and cakes, Welsh cakes are really good. The pasties are very good and exceedingly Moorish.

Love this delicatessens, always pop in here to see Freindly staff. Lovely flakey real ham rolls with salad , mini pasties and lovely cakes, the pickles and jams are amazing too . Lots of other goodies available too, love this place, been going here 32 years , thankyou all

i pop in here most mornings to get food for my lunch, the food is really good quality and good value for money and they have great staff and friendly service

We always get the chicken tikka baguette - stunning. Freshly made with fresh produce. Great service.

Fantástica selección de relleno para rollos, etc. Selección de deliciosos pasteles. Todo a un precio razonable y el personal muy amable.

Great choice of fillings for baguettes. Plenty of other things to eat too. Friendly staff. I love it and look forward to lunch from Food for Thought.

Always a great welcome by staff cheerful great service baguettes made fresh while you wait great selection at good prices...

Un gran lugar para hacer sándwiches o baguettes, así como la mayoría de productos de delicatessen. Un pequeño pero muy popular negocio familiar siempre ocupado y siempre hay una buena selección de comida y abundante.

this as got the best the best delicatessen in Wales, great choice of baguettes, salads and other tasty treats. the staff are very friendly and always remember what you like. huge thumbs up from me x

After looking round the shops we decided to have Cornish pasties for our lunch, at 99p each what a bargain and I would highly recommend them as they are delicious, the staff are always friendly and so helpful, any food you buy you wouldn't be disappointed, well done will call again soon.

Amazing food, with substantial portions and value for money, (puts other more famous food outlets to shame). Family run business with very friendly staff. I miss working next door to this place.

Been going to the deli for a few years now, food is amazing and the staff are even better.. The young gentlemen is a credit to the team. Always happy and smiling. Love their chicken tikka baguettes, and the small corned beef pasties are superb! Top work guys

This place has the freshest and tastiest chicken tikka baguettes ever! Lovely little shop for deli items such as local produced jam/honey and fresh pasties and welsh cakes daily!

love their tasty bagettes they have a wide range of fillings it is always really busy at lunch times well worth the wait the staff are really helpful and quick

I would honestly recommend anyone visiting Barry or anyone who lives here and has not tried it to go try a baguette. Best i've ever had and everyone raves about them when they've tried one. Chicken Tikka and Mint jelly always a favourite. The deli is full of fresh pasties, sausage rolls, different jams, sweets, anything you can think of and all so yum!

There's no point in writing too much....everyone knows how lovely it is here, I always love looking at the different things on their shelves! The only downside is every time I'm in there I end up buying loads

Lovely fresh bread with loads of choices of fillings. Huge range of other products too. They've got service sorted too - always quick no matter how busy they are! Highly recommended.

This place has always had fantastic reviews with the locals! To be fair my hubby bought us some pasties to share the other day and they were totally delicious we were basically fighting over them! Have had a few lunches here (baguettes and what not) and they've always been lush! Hubby strongly suggests anyone that likes welsh cakes get them apparently they are gorgeous! Have stopped him buying them as he doesn't share!

Lovely baguettes here, was going to have a ham and cheese until they suggested the chicken tikka to the guy in front of me so thought I'd try that too and oh my days it was amazing!!! So much so I went back on the weekend for another!! Lovely friendly staff and the que was out the door so goes to show how popular they are!!

I often pop in for a baguette, food is always fresh and tasty, friendly staff. Happy to take phone orders which are usually ready when you arrive to collect

Very friendly staff, exceptionally reasonable prices, very tasty food! What more can you ask for?The fact that the queue is often out the door proves that this place is worth a visit. I go every day I work for a baguette or jacket potato. Everything is made to order and they have a large range of ingredients to choose from!Couldn't recommend highly enough!Note: there is no seating available, so you need to plan to eat somewhere else.

Great little Deli, We love the choice and food offeredI have seen and visited often this Business over the years and have watched it re-invent itself with great success.But now surely it is time for phase 3, Perhaps a move to the next block up the High St, where parking is less of a problem and where a larger premisses could accommodate a coffee shop and kitchen facility.Best WishesMr Spence.

Brilliant baguettes, served with smiles and friendly chat. Great value always fresh. Family visiting always nip round to the Deli for lunchtime treats.

The only place to go for baguettes in Barry.If you haven't then you have to try the Chicken Tikka! My personal favorite is when you put it with Onion Bhaji, Smoked Cheese, Sweet Chilli Sauce & Mayo.Sounds like a weird concoction, but tastes amazing!

Can't fault the Deli. The friendliest staff (albeit a tad bonkers) and the best, freshest food. The baguettes are amazing, made exactly as you want it, the pasties are way too moreish and the cakes.....nom nom! I've eaten here for over 18 years and I can't recommend it enough. Only down side is the parking on high street which often dictates if I can call in for a cheeky Saturday lunch. Overall a great family run business producing lovely food.

We visit "The Deli" at least once a week. Great choice of fresh food. Baguettes and sandwiches made to your liking. Chicken tikka mayo is a must!!Very friendly staff. Best place in the town for a take out lunch.

What a great deli, lovely fresh food, lovely fresh filled to order bagettes, they sell yummy mini cheese pasties also yummy mini cornbeef pasties, they have a great choice of condiments, and cakes. They have a saving club for Christmas which is really useful. This is the best deli in barry, a must for any one who wants good food at a very good price

Spent way too much money in here over the years but it's so worth it! Chicken tikka baguette and a Twinky is a must. So glad I only live 2 streets away

Always love coming to you for fresh, good value for money food. Always service with a smile! Your coleslaw is a particular favourite with a chicken salad baguette-

Im always in there. The food in there is fab!! Great choice of food. And the staff are great! Keep up the great work guys !!

The team at FFT are fantastic. A really lovely bunch of people who provide the best customer service needed. The food is just as amazing, with plenty of choice there's something for everyone.

My family has used this deli for many years and have always received impeccable service, beautiful food and always impressed by the high level of cleanliness. Wonderful, family-run business with friendly and caring staff and owners!

On my way back from Barry hospital I decided to call in and get 2 Cornish pasties, the staff are so friendly, the Cornish pasties are the best and cheapest in barry, only 99p each, all their food is brilliant and tasty, would highly recommend this fantastic place, wow.

truly wonderful an its brilliant reputation is well deserved. friendly staff always happy to chat no matter how busy it is in there and a huge selection!

I have been a customer here for many years, having been working and living close by.Parking is always a bit of a problem, but if you drive around the block a few times, you may get lucky.Food wise! ExcellentAlways fresh and plentiful The staff are friendly and seem to want to be there, always jolly and joking about, in a good way.Great place, worth a trip

Just cannot fault this place and have been coming here for years, they pride themselves on offering the best quality foods and all the staff are fab, very friendly. You can't fail to get your favourite sandwich here as they make it front of you to your specifications, however fussy you may be - make sure you try the homemade pasties.

Very clean inviting place to eat, great prices and friendly staff and a pleasure to eat and great menu, thank you.

The food is absolutely amazing from freshly made baguettes and sandwiches to the best home made pasties around and a large selection of buns and cakes they also do meals in a tray that just require heating up, there always open nice and early so you grab your food on the way to work The staff are so friendly and it's always a warm welcome would highly highly recommend the best deli for miles and miles around xxx

This place is the true hub of the community. Greeted with a warm welcome every time the staff are out of this world. If you like food with great taste at great prices look no further. Would recommend to anyone. Worth a visit. Keep up the great work Team ☺ coffee is great also ☺

Lovely sandwiches, pies and pasties and great ingredients from all over the world. Great for picking up ingredients you can't get in the supermarket and if your going to have a picnic you can't go wrong with the choice of sandwiches and other snacks.

If you're looking for a baguette or sandwich on the go, this is the place. Usually 4-5 people serving behind the counter and very efficient. Huge range of fillings and they are bespoke to your requirements.They also have a big range of pasties, pies and the like, as well as the usual Deli stuff.

My wife and I called in to get some Cornish pastie,s, the staff are very friendly and the Cornish pasties are great for taste and value at only 99p each, well worth a visit, well done. We will definitely be going back.

Fabulous deli. Staff always very friendly and helpful. Food very fresh and of highest standard. Wonderful variety and choice. Great for picnic food. Highly recommend

I have used this deli many times over the years in fact they catered for my sisters wedding and for my mothers wedding anniversary one year. This food is always excellent and of a high standard. In work we have our lunch every Friday from the deli and they cater for any lunch meeting we have. If you are looking for first class deli food you cannot go wrong with food for thought

By far the nicest baguettes and pasties in town. lovely little deli with homemade pasties and pies etc all very reasonable prices. The extent of the baguette/sandwich/panini range is really impressive, you could eat there everyday for a year and not have the same combo twice =) £1 for 5 pasties is just insane and they are sooo good. (They even serve coffee) This is an absolute must visit if you are within a 10 mile radius you will not be disappointed!! YUM YUM YUM

This place is amazing! I live in Penarth and I travel all the way just to get a freshly baked baguette, created with the perfect amount of filling by the lovely group of staff. Cannot believe this place doesn't have more reviews!! It's a hidden gem!

I cannot recommend this place enough, absolutely amazing food for incredible value, great atmosphere, great selection of food, lovely staff!!! I would go every day if I had the time!

I've lived in Barry for over 2 years now, and I honestly can't think of a better place to go for lunch/treats/specialized food. The atmosphere is great, the staff are really friendly, and they pride themselves on being a local business which is a bonus. The food itself is sensational, especially the staple that is their Chicken Tikka baguette.I can't recommend it enough - it's one of the best deli-type places I've ever been to.
