Porter's Delicatessen in Denbighshire

Superb deli located just off the main street, bought numerous items from the owner who is very knowledgeable and recomended some local pate and cheese and coffee, we will shop here whenever in the area

If you're in Llangollen, a visit to Porter's is delightful. We went in with the intention of buying a couple of gifts, but came out with a selection of yummy cheeses (I've just had some), pate's, pantone and lovely biscuits. The shopkeeper was very helpful when it came to recommending types of cheese, and everything was perfectly wrapped. We'll be calling in again on our next visit, thats for certain.

You have to visit this gem of a deli , the cheeses are second to none , a very large selection , quite a few continental cheeses too. They sell a selection of vegetarian foods , honey , jams , marmalade , pate , baked goods cakes and pies pickled sauerkraut , relishes ,chocolate ,the list goes on and best of all the don't charge silly prices , very reasonable.

My wife and myself called in and got some olive's, cheese and cake. Staff very obliging especially the young lady who was working on the stall outside the shop.

I visited this delicatessen yesterday afternoon as I always do when in Llangollen, as I like the Bay tree chutney they sell and their cheeses. I was greeted by large sign written on door to Sanitise !!!! So I made my way in being sure to sanitise my hands in entrance. Because I was concentrating so hard on sanitising, I inadvertently forgot to put on my mask. However unaware of this I greeted the sour faced older lady behind till with a cheery "Hello" she glared at me and didn't smile or respond. I browsed right hand side of shop then walked across front of till to look at right hand side. I noticed they had a stack of good food awards magazines by till which are free and usually interesting. Because I didn't want to be rude I asked politely if they were free, despite knowing they are. She barked at me very pointedly " For customers , yes" . At this point she had no idea whether I was going to buy anything or not. I immediately placed it back in counter and left shop. She has single handedly ensured I will never enter this shop again. I don't know why she was so rude and am assuming it was because I wasn't wearing a mask. However instead of greeting me nicely and politely asking if I was exempt from mask wearing ( again she had no idea of my medical status) , upon which I would have immediately realised my mistake and apologised and put my mask on. Given the horrendous year retailers have had I think it's such a shame that she behaved this way, frankly if I was small independent retailer I'd be extremely nice and pleased to have customers again. In future I'll buy the chutney in Waitrose ( where it's also cheaper) and won't be supporting this small retailer again.

Popped into this delicatessen, the cheese counter is in front of you as you walk in, lots of delicious Welsh cheese to chose from, I spoke to the lady about each cheese I was selecting after the discussion I took her word on each cheese and she was spot on! Those cheese's are delicious, really tasty fresh and well kept. I can definitely recommend and will return. Covid secure.

Good variety of local delicatessen. We were going to get quite a bit from this shop as they look good, but unfortunately the lady’s attitude was quite off putting and not welcoming. It felt like she was forced to allow us into her shop.

There is a lot to like about this place. It is full for Welsh food and delights. I was keen to take home some Welsh treats but only managed some Bara Brith and a bottle of very good Welsh cider. There are many Welsh products here including tempting cheese and Welsh gin. This is a very good shop and around the corner is Gales an excellent wine merchant. Therefore if you are here camping or in a dull hotel there is no reason not to go to Porter's and Gales shop and wine bar to get goodies and treats. Next time I would do both but nip round to Aldi for some padding. That way you cannot go wrong!

Hubby and me went shopping in Llangollen on a recent Tuesday afternoon. We went inside this Deli and bought a 225g packet of lemon Aberffraw biscuits - these are hand-made Welsh buttery shortbread biscuits with a hint of lemon zest. They originated from Anglesey and are said to be the oldest biscuit in Britain. I particularly like them because they are shaped like scallop shells. They were priced at £3.80 (the plain ones are £3.50) - contactless card payments accepted. They taste even better with a nice cup of English tea.

A lovely shop full of delicious cheese and meats along with other goodies The only problem is the totally bad mannered member of the staff Her manners when we were being served were totally unacceptable and bad manners We will not be spending any money in the shop until she does a course on customer service

Porters' is always a 'must visit' in Llangollen. Still sourcing wonderful cured meats and cheeses and notably from Wales. The spectacular Welsh cheddar Black Bomber from nearby Snowdonia is a favourite. Porter's was not phased to send a BB by post. It's so easy...

We stopped into Porters looking for treats and souvenirs unique to Wales for ourselves and to share with our family. Both the cashier and friendly shop owner were so delighted to help us make a few tasty selections. The store was full of unique culinary treasures and local spirits. A MUST stop in, taste and buy!

I was looking for some cherry in kirsch...the only place I found it was this one, very helpfull place with plenty yammy choices.

lovely presented produce. Delicious cheeses and bread. lovely knowledgable anf friendly service. good value too.

家族でランチしました。サンドイッチは、ビーフ、ラム、ポークなどから選べ、作り立てをいただくことができます。

Had fun browsing the foodie delights in this store and ended up buying chilli jam, blackberry mead and local beer. Service by the young lady on the counter was good too. My kind of deli . Very good.

Although not a particularly large or expansive delicatessen, there is a decent range of imaginative and tasty goods and Porters is certainly worth a visit.

Well stocked. Can make a hamper up if asked. Maybe a little pricey and occasionally too busy to chat but who cares if you just want to get some interesting nibbles.

Hacer una última hora parada en la lluvia antes de regresar a casa, nos preguntábamos a la tienda 10 minutos antes de la hora de cierre. El personal no podría haber sido más amable o servicial y los productos que compramos estaban deliciosos! Sin duda volveremos cuando esté en la zona.

We bought some fantastic Welsh food from here..Leek mustard? Well will give it a try. Lovely selection.

La tienda tiene una muy buena variedad de quesos, incluyendo varios que no había visto antes, los precios son un poco altos, en mi opinión, pero supongo que por lo que ofrecen no es desorbitado. Vale la pena llamar en

Lovely shop with a very helpful lady serving. Wide choice of quality products, very tastefully presented. Well worth a visit if you are looking for a personal service and quality.

Porter's is a delicatessen for your delectation and delight of products from Britain and Europe, but note the carefully sourced Welsh products. Laden with Welsh cheeses, meats and even Welsh travel sweets, we went over the border into Cheshire bearing gifts...

A small but very nice delicatessen nice range of local produce and fresh foods stuffs.Good for the special treat

This was a spontaneous shop having not planned a visit here. We ended up buying some very good treats for the Christmas and New Year period. We particularly enjoyed some of the French foods they stocked. That said we also bought British cheeses from Wales and the Marches area.

Popped in this store for a nose whilst passing through the town. The window display was nice and suggested inside would have some good finds.Wasn't disappointed. So much stuff inside that you wouldn't find in a local supermarket. Huge range of condiments (both sweet and savoury), cheeses, ales and so forth. My other half got some local brews. I got some salt with herbs in, came in a lovely pot. I could have got so much more, particularly some oils and dips but we didn't want to risk them getting broken on our road trip! If you like cooking, food and drink, go to this store. You will not be disappointed and will find some wonderful little gems. Likewise gifts for anyone who likes that something different.

This shop has a wide variety of freshly made and high quality foods - ideal for outdoor eating in one of the many superb locations provided by Llangollen.

Visited this shop to purchase a present but could have spent a fortune ! Lovely local cheeses, cold meats and olives. They also stock Welsh whiskey from the only still in Wales, made a lovely present for our friends who collect different types. Also stock different types of mead. Well worth a visit.

Just popped in for a browse really. The lady was so interested in her regular customer that we didn't even get a greeting. After a leisurely look round we left without a word being spoken to us - small shops should encourage interaction, it makes you feel welcome. The array of goodies was lovely and varied but almost felt like we were intruding.

Perkins family have been customers for years. The superb quality also range of Cheeses & Ales are simply the best around. Wide selection of other products your just spoilt for choice. Always something from Porters Deli that accompanies are meals. Personally I recommend the Celtic Promise & Stinking Bishop cheese with a delicious glass Of Hafod Brewery Ale.

Lovely delicatessen with good range of local products. The pickled garlic is almost addictive! Sadly, the customer service is somewhat frosty, which is a little off-putting.

The service in this store was exceptional. The staff member was very knowledgeable about local products they stocked. The quality of the products stocked was there. Wonderful.

Bought some welsh whisky and local mead in here. Could easily have bought many of the cheeses too. Had some interesting mixer syrups for adding to your coffee etc.

Nipped into buy local cheese, which incidentially was delicious. Helpful friendly staff battling with a buggy is always hard, getting the door and helping with steps is appreciated.

Great deli for cheese tapas and luxury food and drink. Has lots of ideas for Christmas food and drink gifts.

I'm afraid I'm usually in Porters for my regular items but there is a stash of goodies waiting to be had and Tracey is always happy to lend some advice. It's great to see new products appear all the time.

We used Porter's to design and delivery a wedding cheesecake to our venue at Plas Isaf, Corwen.They were absolutely brilliant, from the initial 'tasting' they recommended the best local/wlesh cheeses to suit our chosen meal, and were very responsive to our queries - and competitively priced.When the cake arrived - we were amazed. It looked fantastic and was well decorated with fruit and (our florists) flowers. So many compliments on the day.We definitely over ordered, and used the cake as part of our evening food. It was decimated - absolutely nothing left! Everyone said how delicious the cheese was, and that was evidence by none of it remaining!We would 100% recommend porters for a wedding cheesecake - it was great experience when you're very stressed with other things, knowing you can rely on these guys give you one less thing to worry about!!!cheers Tracey!

Excellent selection of local produce, some local ciders and a great cheese counter. A bit pricey but all top quality foods, so worth that bit extra!

This is where I go (past 10 years) to indulge in my love of food and ingredients. I always find something new to take away - fantastic local/Welsh products

Wanted to take some Welsh cheeses home after our holiday in Llangollen and boy, what a choice. They were a bit on the pricey side but then I had not seen some of them in any other shop and they were delicious. Could have spent a lot of money in that shop and will certainly visit them again when I'm next in Llangollen.

Porters is a real treasure. It's my birthday today and last night Mrs Porter knocked on my door carrying a hamper a friend had sent to me. What delights and so well presented. The prosciutto and salami's were beautifully packaged, the peccorino equally so and the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and various biscuits, nibbles, jars of frutti del bosco, sun dried tomatoes and pesto had me salivating as I looked at them. All of the stuff was genuine and first class. So far I have nibbled at the prosciutto and what a joy that was. It is extraordinary that in a town as small as this one, we should have an Italianate delli of such quality. You must go - it's a joy.

Porters is our local deli in Llangollen and we live a stone's throw from it. That being the case we would probably feel fortunate having any type of deli nearby, particularly as Llangollen is a small town, but Porters really is a cut above what we could reasonably expect and does us proud.The shop is not huge but the space is used very well and they manage to stock a really good range of items. Of particular note and delight is the extensive range of cheeses - including many locally produced artisan cheeses. There are many here that I have simply never seen anywhere else and the staff, particularly Tracy, can give you very full information on each one of them. As I say it is a very impressive range for a comparatively small deli. I have seen shops many times the size that don't come anywhere close to the Porters' range. Other things worth noting - at least in my map of the world - are the range of good quality coffee beans, the range of charcuterie meats and the wonderful Patchwork range of pates. Some of these are simply to die for.I shouldn't forget to mention the selection of fresh olives and the extensive range of bottles sauces and other products. In addition to this Porters do a range of kitchen ware items such as cheese boards, cruet sets, oil jars and the like. A couple of Christmases ago I also purchased a Swedish steel nutcrackers which has so far proved indestructible (I have a bit of a track record of breaking nut-crackers by not knowing my own strength).Last but not least, on certain days of the week they have a basket of freshly baked, local artisan breads.You may have guessed by now that I love Porters and think it is a great addition to this lovely town.

Fantastic deli, with all our favourites and lots of new stuff to try. Not expensive. Friendly and knowledgable people. Visit regularly.

Llangollen is a very nice town with lots to see and do bit this Deli is spectacular your eyes don't know where to look first as the place is jammed with delights and everything you see you want to buy :-) well worth a visit but take plenty of money and a very big shopping bag !

On a visit to LLangollen we stumbled upon Porter's by accident and were so glad we did. The shop is stocked to the brim with an eclectic range of foods ranging from fine wines, indulgent preserves and chutneys, olives, had carved parma ham, a variety of olive oils, liqueurs, mead, cheeses, salamis, freshly ground coffee and so on. I manage to complete at least on bout of Christmas shopping just by going there it is an Aladdin's cave of gourmet delights. I would definitely recommend this deli for gifts as well as own consumption - fantastic and probably a lot less than you would pay for similar foods in Harrods or Selfridges.

This is a lovely shop just off the main street through town and well worth a visit. Everything is clean and nicely displayed and there's a large range of cheeses, meats, biscuits and other nice foodstuff.The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful and it's the sort of shop I like to browse and try all of the produce bit by bit. Wish we'd had longer and been able to try more of their goodies.Do yourself a favour and give it a try.

I've been to just about every deli in North Wales, and I'd have to say Porters is about the best. Fantastic range of cheeses, meats and other provisions, as well as a number of locally made foods and drinks.

We stopped off in LLangollen and found this gem. Have a wonderful tea on the boat instead of going to a restaurant. However the Stinking Bishop was so smelling we banished my brother-in-law outside

The olives are to die for. I went for the large ones with cornichons and marinated in garlic and parsley.....very good. Also bought some delicious smoked hard cheese. Deli's are always a bit more expensive but to be fair those olives are so good that they are worth every penny.

Such a lovely array of foods and items I have not seen elsewhere. I do love quality and you are guaranteed that here. The olives are gorgeous and the choice of tasty cheeses is my idea of a good deli worth shopping at .

a large selection for small deli ,good local produce prices a bit high but you pay for prime produce ,nice staff nice to visit for special food hamper .or present

Great range of cheeses, preserves, wines and foodie gifts. Lots of Welsh and local products too. They also sell the Gold Medal winning Penderyn Whiskey from South wales which is delicious and not always easy to get hold of.
