Pumpkins Deli in Rugby

What an excellent place for breakfast. Having recently moved into the area I came here to try this with my daughter. I had the veggie breakfast and my daughter had the breakfast stack bagel. Both were extremely well presented and utterly delicious. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and the outside seating was fabulous with the sun shining even in mid September. So happy to have found our new breakfast out spot. We will be regulars.

Came here for lunch, as we entered and went to order at the counter (which is weird in a cafe . . . Surly table service) we waited a long time to be served, non of the staff even said hello or greeted us etc, we were just stood by the till for 10 minutes. We were served by a women, mid/late 20s, quite tall and fairly skinny, she was quite snappy and rude, she didn’t make us feel welcome at all and she doesn’t look very professional basically wearing gym clothing. Long wait for food and it was mediocre. Portion size is small especially the carrot cake which was also state and tasteless. Not great

Absolutely superb food and the service was exceptional. Arrived with the dog knowing we could likely only sit outside. Had us set up within minutes and even gave our dog an extra sausage to keep her occupied. Staff & food brilliant, strongly recommend

Went for a takeaway sandwich .omg it was lovely ,tasty , filling ,service was great , price was good value . Very good range . All fresh .

Welcoming little cafe with excellent freshly prepared food. Generous portion sizes. A great stop along the Fosse Way.

Simple takeaway ordered from me. Sausage and onion baguette and a coffee. Place was full. Plenty of staff Very attentive Not cheap but quality was excellent and food was more than enough. Menu looked great and if I’m passing through again I’ll definitely pop in. Definitely recommend.

Had breakfast here this morning. Second time I have been here. Breakfast was absolutely lovely as was the coffee. Staff all very friendly . Lovely place to go will try lunch next time.

Met up with a friend here for lunch. Wow! It was a beautiful place and the food we had was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful too. Will definitely be going back.

Five of us came in for breakfast. The food was absolutely superb! I had their vegetarian breakfast which was a real plateful including avocado, halloumi, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, two eggs and a hash brown. Really tasty! Others had their ‘Traditional English’ breakfast with very good quality bacon and sausages. Served with your choice of white, granary or sourdough toast. Top quality coffee to go with it. We were all well-satisfied. Very pleasant service too.

So pleased we had the opportunity to meet our friends here again after been put the area for a few months. Food, service never disappoints. Clean plates all round.

Fantastic little cafe. A real find. Really nice, tasty fresh food and coffee. Their cakes are out of this world too. Highly recommended

This lovely place has been recommended to me by lots of people. So had a visit today for breakfast. Lovely quaint place in a gorgeous village. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. Breakfast and drinks were excellent. Will definitely be going again. I can understand why people have put 5* reviews.

We found this place when the cafe we were looking for turned out to be closed and a lovely lady pointed us in the direction of the Pumpkins Deli - what a gem! It's a busy little place serving the most fabulous food - in fact my 91 year old Mum pronounced it the the best breakfast in Britain! The cakes looked amazing too but sadly we didn't have room!

Delicious, freshly prepared and tasty food that was a delight to eat. Great selection on the menu and great value for money. The staff are so helpful and friendly and we will certainly be returning. It was very busy when we arrived but the owner ensured we were comfortable on an outside table and when a table became free inside we were able to move there. Exceptional customer service provided. A gem to find in Brinklow.

A gem of a cafe We went for the Greek sharing platter, wow gorgeous Spoke to the owners who are so passionate about food and their values Definitely a place to visit

Just been to this Deli after reading online reviews, it did not disappoint. Had coronation chicken sandwich with salad, coleslaw & crisps, we decided to share, thank goodness huge sandwiches, so fresh & delicious. Nice hot flat white, pot of tea and a chocolate orange cookie. 10/10 for everything. Thank you !

Everything you could wish for in a deli! A wonderful selection of home made cakes and savouries, which were delicious. We had English breakfasts and agreed they were as good an English breakfast as we’d had. Tasty sausages, peppery black pudding, thick toast, buttered mushrooms, the works. Coffee was excellent and to top it all friendly and welcoming staff who went out of their way to help. Only downside? We don’t live locally so could be a while before we are there again!

I had been here a year or so ago when out cycling, I only had a coffee at the time but the venue caught my eye and the staff where so friendly I always said I’d be back to try it properly. We popped in on Saturday for an impromptu lunch on our way to Coombs Abbey Park. It was just as remembered, upon entering the staff where super friendly catering for my wife and I and our 1 year old daughter. We ordered a Chai Latte, along with there chicken gyro & pork gyro for lunch. We also ordered a slice of toast for our little girl to keep her going until our lunch arrived. The staff came over to see if we wanted the toast ASAP while they made lunch for us all, and if our little girl needed anything else while waiting. Through out the whole visit the staff where very attentive and the food was great. There was a steady flow of customers both dining in and taking away which is always a good sign! Will be back soon for a coffee and cake (they look great) when back out on the bike!

Me and some of my Family have tried over 20 venues over the last year for breakfast. Rating them for value and quality out of 10, the lowest has been 5/10 the best 9/10. But finally we have found a 10/10 at the Pumpkin Deli, excellent quality products, very good value, friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to go back again.

We are regular visitors to Pumpkins, the food is always amazing, they use good quality ingredients, and offer great value for money. The staff super friendly and always make your feel very welcome. There is a good choice of breakfast and lunch options. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Once again, I cannot commend pumpkins deli enough. Christos & Holly, the owners are the most wonderful couple and chefs and their staff are brill and the food, well it’s amazing!! Absolutely incredible, always ‘on-point’. Thankyou guys! I need to travel to you more often! 🍴

I have been to Pumpkins a few times for breakfast and lunch and honestly, it just gets better and better! I'm so glad I live within a reasonable distance to visit. Everything is so fresh and the combinations of ingredients are so imaginative. The helpings are great too. Nobody will go hungry here. What a great and valuable addition they are to Brinklow. Try it, you will not be disappointed. Great coffee and ambience too.

Stopped for an early luncheon Excellent food - try the halloumi on flat bread with avocado- marvellous, and probably the best coffee around As a biker I try a lot of coffee and this is the dogs nuts! And the best bit is it’s only 10 minutes from home

Enormous sandwiches, a generous pot of tea and tasty cakes. Just what we needed. Glad we visited this lovely friendly cafe mentioned in our canal guidebook.

Had a fabulous lunch here, food great quality, staff lovely, friendly & accomodating. Nothing too much trouble. Went back later for takeaway cakes & they are to die for. Good prices & lovely coffee too. Thankyou, I will be back.

Really good food and large portions. The rocky road was very good and nice coffee. Would recommend and would come back again

The quality and freshness is amazing. We have sampled the breakfast and cakes. The food is delicious. Can't wait to visit again. This place is a jewel in the crown!

Had a takeaway lunch here for the first time. Food was absolutely fantastic, delicious flavours and quality, generous portion size and great value for money. Looking forward to dining in soon when I have a chance! Would highly recommend.

Great food, amazing value, cheerful staff! What’s not to like Unusual choices on menu of Greek gyros and halloumi wrap which were fresh and tasty with high quality ingredients followed by white chocolate traybake Lovely lunch

As always awesome food from the lovely pumpkins team. Fresh ingredients and good sized portion .. perfect! A***

Best Sandwiches ever. Been here quite a few times and the food is always brilliant. The sandwiches are massive, fresh and tasty.

Stopped over on the way through the area. Two table spaces outside on the pavement (which isnt busy) but as it had been raining I opted for the inside with the bike chained up to the table at the front. I was welcomed in by the staff and was given the table at the window where I could keep an eye on my bike - as well as sitting on a wooden bench to not make a mess.Great bacon sandwich and cup of tea served quickly, by lovely cheerful staff.Good Covid-19 policies and the NHS QR code available for scanning. Will definitely be back for more cake !

My mum and I visited pumpkins deli for lunch just before attending my grandfathers funeral. We needed a quick bite so decided to share something. When it came out they had provided our shared dish on two separate plates ☺️Amazing little gem in a lovely village that, the staff are so welcoming and friendly and eager to please.The food is to die for, hats off to you all

We have lived near this fantastic little gem of a deli / cafe for 4 years and will sadly be moving.The food is astounding and excellent valueIf near brinklow I would urge you to try their freshly prepared locally sourced meals.Don’t miss them!

Lovely place, friendly , clean , helpful . Breakfast was very nice , hot , all fresh , would go again

We visited the deli last Saturday. Great friendly service and great food. The team couldn’t do enough for you. A really good find.

I've been to this cafe three times now and each time have been delighted with the place, the food and drink and the reasonable prices. The menu is varied & interesting.

We visited as it was well known. We went to this little café, ordering the usual, and being very original.

Couldn't let today go by without saying a big thank you to the staff at Pumpkin Deli.We always love it there but today not only did I enjoy an amazing vegan brunch (smashed avacado, cherry tomatoes, granary toast flavoured with garlic and balsamic) they cooked a smaller snack for mam and gave foil to take half home.Truly awesome; thank you xx

I've been here a few times now to meet friends, we always receive a warm welcome and the fresh cooked meals are really yummy. Sometimes a bit tight for space but that shows how popular it is. Delicious salads, a Greek twist. Massive menu and really good choice for veggies. Good coffee. wifi. nice stuff to buy to take away too eg local honey. Well worth the trip (just wish it were a nicer cycle ride from Cov but the road can be busy)

Always love a trip to this Deli, their food is always amazing and the service fantastic. Great location for passers by and cyclists looking for a nice little stop off. Also great for takeaway lunches.

Alongside their excellent salads, subs and rolls, it’s hard to beat their excellent full English breakfast with a large pot of tea. Very friendly attentive staff. A regular haunt.

2nd visit and the Farmers Delight is still as good as the first time we tried! Halloumi flatbread not far behind!

Well I'm not sure i should be reviewing this and telling everyone about this fabulous little Deli. The food choice is just divine, the quality of the produce and the cooking were just right. The service continued along the same high standards.

Another lovely visit to this great little independent cafe, always good coffee, good food, good service with generous portions & a warm welcome. Nicer food at better prices than most places around Rugby! Would definitely recommend. :-)

Popped in for breakfast. It was heaving & we had to share a table, which was lovely! 3 of us had 3 different things. All excellent. I loved my tomatoes & avocado on sourdough - just what I wanted, freshly made of course. The bacon sarnie looked yummy, as did the 'pile everything into one of your big white batches please - bacon, sausage, egg. Lovely cappuccinos. Everything is freshly prepared to order & the atmosphere is friendly & relaxed. Thanks you Christos & Holly for another perfect start to the day!

First visit to this very well run cafe. Delicious quality food. We ordered poached eggs on soughdough and scrambled eggs on wholemeal. The scrambled eggs were better than than mine!! Creamy and soft. Nice big pot of tea, a read of the paper. Job done.

Called in for breakfast with a friend. Great service and a quality English breakfast. Had the small English with a slice of whole meal toast. Well cooked and presented. Well done!

Great range of delicious eats, with pleasant service, in the village. We walked here from Brandon across some great paths and this was the perfect place for mid-morning refreshments. The eggs benedict was good, the plum tart was good. Overall experience was excellent.

A cool little deli offering a wide choice of food from bacon sandwiches to something a little bit special (like halloumi marinated in harissa paste over night and served with a salad and dressing on a flatbread). It is run by nice people who really care about quality and services. Well worth a visit!

Never dissapointed with pumpkin's selection and quality of food. You can choose from the specials, the board, the breakfast menu or ask for eggs the way you like it! My fav is the crushed avacado, with paoched egg on crunchy sourdough toat(check it out on the board)...hmmmmm yum!☺ Whats the price you ask? Well we had omelet, sourdough toast with homemade jam, my fav breaky (above) , expresso and fresh squeesed oj for two...all for.....wait for it....£18.00!!!! oh and the staff owners are ohhhhh so nice. Really cool place to hang and eat. Go there now!☺

Always have a nice time at Pumpkins Deli. Breakfasts are amazing. Today visited with partner and family. Food is cooked really well and very tasty. Service is always good. Even when it’s very busy nothing looks rushed. Will always recommend to friends and family.

We are a family of 6 including 3 kids. Pumpkins couldn’t have done enough to accommodate us all. Staff were brilliant, food was amazing! Couldn’t recommend this place enough

Had breakfast with my wife at pumpkins.

SUPERB! Fantastic staff; nothing was too much trouble, thanks Eli 😀 Lovely cafe, great relaxing ambience and child friendly 👍🏻 Delicious, tasty food and a very good price. Will definitely be returning 🤗

What's not to love , place sits on the main road through Brinklow village . Parking is available free on the street outside . Unfortunately you can't book a table and it isn't that big so you have to take pot look getting a table . That said , it is definitely worth it ! Staff are friendly . Food is delicious and prices very reasonable . Perfect meeting place for Breakfast or Brunch . I think it closes 4pm ish , so worth checking . They are on FB . It is not a ' fast food ' place , as food is cooked to order , so allow a little time , over a nice Latte maybe and relax :)

Brilliant breakfast with friends. Excellent choice and although we had to wait for a table it was well worth it. Not a place to rush …. the grub comes when its ready and by gosh its fresh.

Back again at Pumpkins Deli, Brinklow. If you’re in the area you have to call in. Varied menu catering for Vegan and Vegetarian. Amazing food all prepared freshly so it’s worth the wait when they’re busy

Unbelievable service! Unbelievable food! And a great little place. We have visited for breakfast and lunch both brilliant. These guys work extremely hard and it really has payed off. Well done.

What a gem.during my dog walk called in for lunch and rehidrate.Staff where so helpful coming out to me as I had the dog. The food was amazing value for money. Will defiantly be returning on my next walk. Thanks for making me and scooby feel so welcome.Being able to sit outside was perfect in the amazing February sunshine.

A small deli in a village on the Fosse Way near Rugby. The food is superb. Freshly cooked, well presented, quality and lots of it. The staff are friendly and efficient.

I’m not one for writing reviews but when I do, it’s for a reason!! Found Pumpkin Deli through Insta and I LOVE this place and only been once. The staff are lovely, friendly, accommodating, shall I go on!! The food was beautiful. Perfect servings, presented well and tasted great. The Ploughman’s are amazing and exactly what a ploughman should be. The croques, toasties, salads, panini’s and breakfasts all looked equally amazing that we’re going out!! The place is small and only 5 or so tables but loved the fact the queue was nearly at the door with take out trade. Clearly shows how good their lunch time food is!!! Added bonus.... our two kids were treated with a little brownie to take with them. Lovely little gesture but really made the kids feel special!! Thank you Pumpkin Deli and your staff and well done for your hard work in producing your hidden treasure!!!

My colleague and I stopped here purely by chance and were pleasantly surprised.

A delightful cafe with a wide varied menu on the wall , plenty vegetarian dishes.I opted for the ‘Greek open sandwich ‘goats cheese sundried tomatoes and peppers....delicious! It is a busy place but worth the wait .

Been to pumpkins numerous times. Every time the food and service are amazing. Granted the wait can be a little long sometimes but it's definitely worth the wait.

A number of our “go to” venues for coffee in the area have closed which has resulted in us trying new places.

First time visit to this great eatery. Full English breakfast for both of us, and we’re very happy. Freshly prepared and all nice and hot. Lovely decor and great service. Definitely be back.

Pumpkins Deli kindly donated 2 breakfasts as a Christmas Raffle prize towards money raised to a great charity within our company. As we’re based in the surrounding area our office had used them for our lunches on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed, so i was thrilled that i’d won.

What a lovely place to eat. Excellent food and great, friendly service. We were there for breakfast and every dish I saw coming out of the kitchen looked great

I dare anyone to prove me wrong!

Excellent sandwiches here today, always very fresh and tasty, friendly staff also, definately worth a visit if you are travelling through the village or happen to be local

Excellent, can’t wait to go again Absolute full after being there Recommend to everyone, but not on days I go 😁

What a wonderful find - can’t believe it’s been open for 8 years and it’s the first time I’ve visited, certainly a unique find. Only seats about 20 people but there is a great range of reasonably price, freshly prepared food and tea is served with your own teapot - I will certainly be returning. People possibly had to wait a little while but they did not mind and I understand why - everyone is so friendly and the food is worth waiting for.

Gorgeous food. Great selection on the Greek platter.... too much to finish. Lovely millionaires brownie to finish! And great company too... what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Search Trip Adviser as wanted to find somewhere for breakfast after dropping my son in Rugby. Wow we weren’t disappointed. Small seating area but plenty to choose from on the menu. We both went for the full English and it was great. One slight bit of advise would be to take the skin of the black pudding. Friendly staff who, although they were really busy looked after us well. Will definitely return when next in the area.

Pumpkin's Deli is simply the BEST cafe you could ask for. Me and my girlfriend LOVE coming here for the character, ambience and more importantly the food. After having raved about it for weeks i finally got my family down for breakfast and they were as pleased as i am. Whether it be a traditional breakfast, a more specialist plate, or puddings and snacks the place is well worth a visit. There arent many places worth shouting about in a small village... but this spot needs the recognition. Well done to the owners and staff for putting yourselves on the map. Good luck moving forwards!

So I had been meaning to come here for some time since we moved to the neighbouring village. I had every intention of taking a photo of our food and sharing it. Unfortunately it tasted so yummy we ate our sandwiches and cake in apromimately 56 seconds and realised there was nothing left to photograph.

Locale piccolo ma accogliente, ideale per un pranzo veloce. Cibo ottimo, possibilità take away. Personale gentilissimo. Un po' speciale nel suo genere, considerate che é anche un negozio di alimentari!

The deli provided the buffet for our wedding afternoon tea party. The food was amazing and everyone commented on the quality, quantity and presentation were exceptional. Thank you Christos and Holly.

Just called in to the Pumpkin Deli after its recent refurb. Great new look, bright and modern. Old favourites plus additional veggie @ vegan options. As always friendly and welcoming staff. Make sure you visit

Friendly staff and nice food. We visited as a halfway point on a journey and it was a pleasant stop. It was during the hot weather and we were sat in the window, which was sweltering. After a sudden influx of wasps, a member of staff helped us move our food onto another table. A trip to the toilet is slightly odd as you’re given a set of keys, sent down the road and round the back to a little cubicle. There’s also the opportunity to buy cakes and deli items, which looked good.

Lovely little deli, with great atmosphere and pleasant staff. The sandwiches are made to order and are bulging full of quality fresh ingredients. I love stopping here in the morning when I've "forgotten" my lunch. Nice coffee too.

I actually hate writing this review because the owner of this cafe is lovely, the cafe itself is beautiful, and is also very clean.

The owner offers a personal service and provides outstanding food made to order. The sandwiches are always perfect and very filling. There is a good range of food and drink. The fact that it is always busy shows how good it is.

6 of us were heading to the Norfolk Broads from Chester and decided to stop here, being roughly halfway between the two. We enjoyed it there so much we decided to go there again on the way back.

Good quality food a little expensive and cafe small but not overcrowded . Pleasent staff and do take out sandwiches freshly made.

As a complete unknown, we thought we'd try Pumpkins as somewhere to get lunch and to meet up with friends coming from various points of the compass. Staff were friendly and helpful, the cafe is small but inviting and the food was excellent, fresh and reasonably priced.

Went for a Greek evening for a family birthday. The food was amazing, as was the service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Using the Fosse Way to travel North, we stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning about 10.45. What a gem of a place this is ! We had the full English breakfast, at £8.50. Two each of fried egg, bacon rashers,sausages plus a hash brown , black pudding, ½ grilled tomato, mushrooms and baked beans. You can also choose between toast or fried bread , --- tea or coffee included in the price .
