Madeleine's Kitchen in East Hampshire

We've taken to lunching here whenever we have a trip up to Petersfield as their Lasagne is delicious. Good Coffee. Service can be a bit chaotic when busy, but it is popular so expect that. We always pick up a couple of extras for a Sunday night treat & the deli has some interesting items to purchase too. Great refill / natural products shop a couple of doors down too.

The crew at Madeleines Deli kindly prepared a special order for us for a retirement boardroom lunch this week. The beef dish we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious to boot. We were assured the dish would be ready in time for collection and in fact it arrived in 30 minutes ahead of schedule with clear and concise cooking directions attached. All the lunch guests were blown away with the quality and stood to toast the chefs. Thank you all for fulfilling his departing wish with such aplomb and making his retirement lunch such a huge success. Very happy customers indeed.

Excellent cafe with an amazing selection.

Really great place for a stop, breakfasts are varied and a must place to visit xx.

I had the sweet potato soup. Tasty if a bit thin. It was served in a coffee mug ; a soup bowl would have been a lot better. Also it came with very hard bread which I was able to soften in the soup or it would have been inedible. My friends seem to have enjoyed their quiches, rolls etc. The soup at the bookshop opposite is so much better.

Lovely deli cafe for tea and cake or something else from the wide menu. We chose two brownies with a tea and hot chocolate. No problems with ordering, very simple at the counter with a buzzer issued for us to collect our drinks when they were ready. Brownies were very nice with one plain and one salted caramel. Staff friendly and good service.

Great food from the healthy yet tasty salads to sausage rolls and scotch eggs.

Is there seating outside for my furry friend, please 🙏

A decent spot for vegans, though strictly it does not qualify for a listing on a vegan site as the choice was limited to the ubiquitous sausage roll, falafel, and wrap. However, both the falafels and the lentil roll were very tasty and well made, as were the salads. There is a good selection of salads including a lovely fresh vegan coleslaw and a potato salad. This was our second visit. We would recommend but it would be nice to see something a little different when we visit again.

This place is conveniently located (near the station) and exceptionally clean and with many attractive decorative objects for sale. Otherwise, not so good. My friend's "New York Reuben" had bread two inches thick (unknown in New York and difficult to eat) but very little meat and no sauerkraut. My Vietnamese pork bun (the weekly "special") was a bap filled with unidentifiable bits of food drowned in lots of a brown, sticky sauce that tasted as if it came out of a bottle, and not an expensive one. The service was idiotic. Customers order food and pay for it at a counter. Then they are told to go to a table and wait for it to be brought. You are handed a wooden spoon with a number lightly marked on the bowl so the waitress can identify you. It is impossible to read this number even halfway across the large dining room. Also, what are you supposed to do with the spoon? |(No rude answers, please.) There is no holder at the table to hold it upright. So are you supposed to sit at your table holding the spoon aloft, like the Statue of Liberty? All I could think of was to stare at the entrance for the waitress and, on seeing her, to wave the spoon wildly. This did not make it easy to talk to my friend. We get our food. I see that there is no fork to deal with the salad, and ask for one. The waitress gestures at a shelf on the wall two tables away and tells me to get one there. I point out that: 1. It makes no sense to bring a salad with no fork. I have never heard of a waiter or waitress doing this. 2. She is on her feet and nearer the shelf than I, who am 50 years older than she and sitting against a wall with tables very close to me in front and on both sides. She stares at me with her mouth open, then walks away. The man at the next table, without rising (that's how close the shelf was), reaches over and hands me a fork. He said that this was how they did things here, these were their rules. Well, their rules are discourteous and have no common sense. Why give people a table marker than cannot be read and cannot stand up? Why are you brought food but have to get your own cutlery--half restaurant service, half cafeteria service? What is so difficult about bringing a plate with a fork on it? What is so arduous about taking two steps to hand a fork to an old lady? I see that this place has won some kind of local award, so it is better than most restaurants in the town. The next time I go to Petersfield, I will bring a sandwich.

I adore this spot. I remember when it first opened, it had the type of energy that proved itself as a winner from the off. So glad it’s still here. The food they make in house is divine, salads, quiches and falafels, sandwiches etc. The blueberry muffin is also a fave but I believe it’s bought in and the marble muffin is no where near as good. The other pastries are generally too sugary, otherwise ok.

Great deli with lovely food for sit in or take away , good selection for vegetarians and friendly staff - dog friendly too. Tad expensive, not huge portions ( particularly salads) but quality so I guess you get what you pay for. Eat in is always £1 more than take out …

Great place. A very good deli and coffee shop.

Wheat free and gluten free sandwich 🥪😋 so delicious and lovely and clean worth a visit

A cool cafe. Delicious coffee and pastries. You can also eat normal hot food. You can buy various handmade paintings, cups, plates, jugs. Now before Easter they sell beautiful chocolate eggs.

Just great place with good food and excellent coffee.

Haven't had coffee yet but delicious food 😋

A bit slow getting food & drink to table but staff very pleasant. A bit overcrowded table's.

Great meeting place for coffee, savouries and assorted cakes and naughties! Wide range of goods available in delicatessen area of shop. Well worth a visit.

We have stopped here for lunch a few times but generally pop in for coffee and goods from the deli counter. Lunch is always tasty but service can be slow during busy periods, so leave sufficient time if on a tight lunch break. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The dog is welcome also! There is a great selection of produce available, including crackers, biscuits, dry store items, charcuterie and much more. The deli counter offers cakes, pastries, cooked meats, salads and more. The bacon and cheese twists are my favourite.

Madeleines kitchen was our go to place for lunch everytime we went to Midhurst. They moved to Petersfield so now we visit whenever we're in the area ❤️

Without question the best coffee house in Petersfield - definitely make the effort to go there. Whether for jus5 a coffee or more the atmosphere is pleasant gently bohemian, arty, quiet, and choice of deli to purchase also, at a high level.

Choice is excellent. The food is tasty. Staff are friendly.

Such delicious outstanding food. Now with more tables and some comfier seating. Can take dogs into cafe

It’s my go to for coffee, lunch and brunch in Petersfield. Coffee is good, staff are friendly and food is fresh.

Great place for food and drinks. Unbeatable

Consistently serves the best coffee in Petersfield and delicious food from the deli to eat in or take home. Divine cakes and bakes, scrumptious savoury dishes like frittata, quiche, sausage rolls and chicken milanaise, soups and salads. Fabulous.

Apart from the irritating bleeper sets,a great cafe.

Great hot choc and lovely Carrott cake ...perfect

We have just had the most delicious tea at Madeleine's Deli. Two friends had the 'Tea for Two' which was incredibly good value and beautifully presented. I shared an enormous piece of carrot cake with a friend, again delicious and so fresh. A wonderful place to sit and chat with friends and I would thoroughly recommend it as a venue for a yummy tea!

Best coffee in the area. Really nice ambiance too.

In a town where there are so many cafes/coffee bars you need something special/different to stand out. Unfortunately this is not the case with Madeleines. We walk past most weeks when in town and have kept saying we like the look of it and should try it. Were we disappointed - dirty uncleaned table, tasteless coffee and dry overcooked raspberry scones (which looked nothing like I think of as a "scone"). Dont think we will be trying again in a hurry.

Gluten free tasty options abd vegetarian though disappointed no longer have tge advocado and sweet potato muffins.

Great coffee and a huge variety of wonderful homemade food to eat in or take away. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Lots of local produce, artisan and pantry goods perfect for gifts or an extra special addition to your kitchen. Support local businesses, this is a great place to start!

Ohhhh smol cups - I’d like more than a couple of mouthfuls of coffee

Great choice of food, loved the salad bar. Nice to find somewhere that offers different dishes compared to the same old thing that you get everywhere else.

For years I've been training baristas myself, and to see a barista doing a perfect coffee is just so heartwarming. Thank you for that and well done!

Oh my god! Visiting friends in Portsmouth and was lucky enough to be brought here as my friend works in Petersfield. The food is DELICIOUS and staff super welcoming and helpful. Will definitely return when back visiting. Also, I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion however I feel like the two bad reviews are completely unjustified :) x

Friendly staff, good food and a nice atmosphere. It’s not the cheapest eat in town.. but it is one of the best. It does get busy, so sometimes you might have to wait for a table.. but it’s worth it!

Tasty food. We'll return when it's warmer. The beeper system for returning to get your coffee is rather unnecessary in our opinion and the constant noise does not contribute to a relaxing atmosphere to eat and chat. Hence a 4/5.

Amazing hospitality タクシーの運転手にお勧めされました。 この近くを通りがかったらぜひ寄るべき。 店員の皆さんもフレンドリーでおもてなし の気持ち溢れた素敵なお店でした。 食事もカフェも美味しかったです。

Delicious food. Light-filled eating area which has been expanded with more seating. Only niggle is hard seating (one sofa). Salad selection excellent

If you want amazing homemade foods for lunch, this is the place to go. I go 15 minutes out of my way just to get my coffee. Expensive but so worth it. Dog friendly too 😍

It came recommended and didn’t disappoint. Nicely wrapped up and heavy, the salt beef was melt in the mouth and the sauerkraut was just in the right proportion. I could get the rye bread flavour coming through as well. Definitely a treat to be enjoyed when your pretty hungry.

Really good food and is a good mood place to visit with someone. Enjoyed this

Great place for coffee, breakfast or lunch. Excellent choice of delicatessen food, foody gifts.

Amazing deli and restaurant - such a shame the Midhurst branch closed as it was a little more convenient for me but it's worth the drive.

Very tasty food, had a Ruben sandwich, packed with salt beef absolutely huge. Always room for dessert tho

Had the best ever lemon meringue pie, absolutely delicious

Good service, coffee and ambience

Friendly service and delicious hot chocolate

Nice place, recommended for coffee and cake.

Why has it taken me so long to find this wonderful place? Excellent, tasty food, good choice available and very reasonably priced. Good coffee. We will be back!

I have just had the most delicious yellow pepper stuffed with chick peas, spinach and some secret spices. Oh my goodness! Please may I have the recipe? Please everybody, go and try it.

Madeleine's Kitchen pulled the stops out to provide hampers catering for 30 guests at Cowdray Gold Cup polo. The hampers contained everything needed - bamboo plates, wooden cutlery and yummy food. As it was delivered chilled to my door as a scorching hot Sunday and was still chilled when we ate at lunchtime. Thank you to everyone at the Bskehouse and Antonia and her staff - my guests loved it

Eclectic deli / cafe. Weird one way service system, some unhelpful and some helpful staff. Coffee was fine.

Ignore bad reviews this place is A1 and the lunch boxes they do are very good value Nutritious and really tasty food.

Excellent local deli in Petersfield, always tasty homemade foods to take away. Cakes are very good too.

Superb food, drinks and service. Highly recommended.

Great service and coffee with interesting selection of foods but prices can be high although quality seems good. Now has a nice cafe as well.

This cafe is a gem, and consistently has great food, drinks, and service. I've eaten in and had takeaway from here on a number of occasions (the perks of working nearby) and I could not recommend it higher

I couldn’t find a page for Madeleine’s Midhurst, so have posted my review here. We were in the area to visit Cowdray Park, so called in here for lunch. The food was delicious and very varied. One mark taken off for all disposable cutlery, cups and boxes (even when eating in the cafe!).

The beef sandwich is amazing.... really cute and well presented food. Actually top quality and great flavour

I was extremely pleased with this place and I am so glad that I decided to venture inside this shop. The members of staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. They were all keen to assist. They were exceptionally enthusiastic and friendly. There are also smoothies available. The Green Goddess was lovely. The freshly-made items behind the counter were labelled clearly as "vegetarian" or "vegan," which was helpful. Everything looked so delicious and healthy. I recommend Madeleine's Kitchen 100% and many thanks to the lovely members of staff who made our visit so pleasant. ***We attended this place again in February 2022. It was extremely crowded and once again, there were many delicious and fresh items from which to choose. I took some photographs of these items. Once again, the members of staff took lots of pride in their work and were able to make good recommendations.***

Just LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this place. The staff are warm and welcoming. The layout is good. The food is delicious. Particularly the Avocado Muffins. The coffee is my favourite in Petersfield. You eat in recyclable takeout boxes but don't let that put you off! A D they have interesting and lovely artisan pieces to buy.

Wow! Best gourmet sandwiches in Hampshire. Great coffee too. Sandwiches made with great attention to taste and presentation.

I was introduced to this Deli by a friend. We sat at a table at the back and had lunch. When I arrived, all I could see were pastry items & I thought this was going to be a coeliac's nightmare. But when we asked, a whole cabinet devoted to gluten-free savouries was pointed out to us! I had an Avocado Muffin. My friend and I will definitely be back very soon for a mug of hot chocolate and a slice of gluten-free cake. I could see the cakes looked delicious. But why do you only mention 'Vegan, Vegetarian Options' in your headline and not 'Gluten-free Options' as well? One other comment - you need more tables and chairs in the cafe at the back. I am disabled and cannot stand around waiting for a table to be free. Two kind ladies got up and offered us their table, and went and sat on bar stools.

Lovely treats for those pesky relatives that are impossible to buy for! Everything looked and smelled gorgeous.

This used to be my favourite place in Petersfield but I am afraid to say that despite the food being delicious, the service was terrible! There seemed to be something far more important going on at the back, I had to wait a while to be served, even though there were no other customers and I was left in the middle of paying for my food, until another waitress asked me what I was waiting for, when I explained she was very helpful, and concluded the transaction! As I said the food was delicious, but rather expensive when it was eaten from a paper bag and a cardboard cup on the premises!

Puts all the others to shame. Products (many special diets catered for) are all of excellent first class quality. I can't wait to come back again , though sadly rarely visit Midhurst. The only down side is it can be a bit pricy. But you get what you pay for.

Nice place and lovely staff! Shame about some of the rude snobby customers!!

Just popped in for a swift bite. Sandwich was served in a paper napkin. Huge slices of thick sourdough bread - almost impossible to eat! The filling of egg mayo consisted of a few large pieces of egg in an extremely runny sauce most of...

Such a wonderful deli, a treat to visit every week. We bring our own cups so our hot drinks are happily made perfectly in our own take away cups. They always serve with a smile and meet all our family needs. Food brilliant, drinks the...

I love this place – they have an amazing selection of deli items, wonderful pastries, and great coffee. I discovered today that they've opened an area where you can sit and have your takeaway food. Brilliant idea – thank you!

Went for tea and cake which we wanted to sit in and eat. We were asked if we were sitting in but when we came to take our goods they were only offered in paper cups and a paper bag! Might as well have been take away.

Don't know where the China cups came from in the picture but we were only offered take away cups and a paper bag for our sit down tea and cake! Won't be going back. Very disappointing.

I entered this shop just to look at the cheese selection. By the time I finished, I left the shop with more than just cheese. 1. The attitude of the members of staff was exceptionally positive. They were all keen to help. When they asked...

A hidden gem of beautiful foods. The expresso coffee is awesome and stopped me in my tracks from the caffeine hit. The staff were very friendly and the shop is lovely.

Very helpful friendly staff, purchased several items, thank you

Fantastic sandwiches and deli bits. Coffee could be a bit better and slightly slow to make sandwiches but they more than make up for it in flavour. The Lox bagel is particularly good!

Mainly love this place for its selection of Spanish food to buy ranging from the chorizo and Spanish meats through to the Torres crisps, olives, manchego cheese and the selection of sauces. Always friendly when you pop in. Some great Spanish ceramic bowls to purchase...

A Good location to stop off for a hot 🔥 beverage and something to eat.

Delicious and fresh gluten free coronation chicken sandwich. My only grumble was the price. For the sandwich, can of diet coke and small bottle of apples juice cost just over £13. Should have queried at time but embarrassed and in a rush. Didn't look at...

Madeleines is just the best thing to have happened in Petersfield and now it has given us a reason to go to Midhurst again too! It is my go-to for lunch, but also for delicious foodie treats. Both shops stock such delicious products that I alway end up leaving with much more than I intended. The salad box for lunch is just divine. My kids won't have a hot chocolate from anywhere else! Thank you.

Our team would visit on the lunch break as it’s local to the office. Must say, it used to be brilliant but standards have slipped. I’ve noticed since they’ve expanded, more products in the deli are pre-made and being brought in. Quality of the coronation chicken is awful and I will not be ordering a quiche ever again. Stale and old. It’s a shame as they’ve lost their decent management team or have been sold. Think the final straw was hearing the kitchen team talk about a Brakes Brother delivery... sorry but why are you charging premium prices for such items. Sad example of running too quickly.

What a find! Went in for a coffee, and went back later for one of their lunchboxes. Delicious pastries and pies and scrumptious salads. The staff are lovely too! Wish they were in my home town.

We were delivered a valentines hamper from the shop. It was beautifully presented and was packed with so many lovely ready made foods with simple instructions on how to heat and serve. Starter, main, pudding, cheese, crackers & chocolates and a bottle of sparkling wine. We were so impressed with the detail you went to - even down to the napkins and table decorations of rose petals. The food tasted very special. Thank you so much for making our Valentine’s Day very different in these days of lockdown. Suzanne and Ralph.

Cannot recommend highly enough for excellent customer service and kindness. Thank you Jess and everyone at Madeline's Kitchen xx

Wonderful deli, great coffee and awesome hot sandwiches !! Has been a lockdown saviour for us 😊

Brilliant little café. Excellent coffee - I don't know of better in Petersfield, a great range of interesting foods (take-away at present due to coronavirus), and service that makes it a pleasure to walk through the door. On top of that, Madeleine's is a brilliant...

Lovely food (but not cheap!) & coffee. Nice people.

Absolutely great food.and a great service.I treat myself every few months to a quality lunch.i dont mind paying abit more for a quality sandwich and quality cake it costs about £10.00 for a very good quality sandwich and cake.my pulled pork baguette was absolutely gorgeous and my nogoth twist cake was gorgeous aswell.thats what I had today plus I brought a home made cake and fresh pork sausage on a string

It’s ALL lovely & delicious! The salted caramel brownies are the BEST!! This village of Petersfield is an exceptional area to browse,shop, eat & drink.

I adore madelines kitchen, the range of hot and cold food is delicious, always colourful and extremely fresh. The staff are so kind and friendly, always. My week wouldn't be the same without a lunch and chai latte

This small well maintained and managed business is just fee nominal, Antonia, Kathryn and team at madeleines deli and bake house produce the most delicious Cakes, snacks and meals. There shop is stocked with lots of different things for the home and there deli counter...

Everything about MK is excellent - the range and flavours of the food, excellent coffee, the attentive and friendly staff and aesthetics of the space.

What a lovely restaurant - friendly and helpful staff, unique menu and a huge choice of extras available to buy off the shelf - food was really nice. Looking forward to visiting again for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended.

Suddenly realising that the time was 1.40 and that we were hungry we searched out Madeleines as it had been recommended. We were warmly welcomed but weren’t sure if to wait or to order at the counter. I was told that the take away menu...

Fantastic local cafe and deli, with amazing staff. The food is fresh, homemade and simple delicious. The best thing is that the food is innovative, there's lots to try and its all good - delicious cakes, fantastic Scotch Eggs, great coffee. The avocado muffins are...
