St Annes Fine Foods in Fylde

I usually love this place, especially their soups! However, the one downside is the consistently unfriendly service. Unfortunately, today wasn’t the first time I left feeling as though I was being looked down on. There’s something about the way you're made to feel like an inconvenience just for ordering. It felt like I was holding them up simply by making my order. I ended up paying without getting everything I initially wanted. If the staff was quicker the lady behind me who ordered after me wouldn't have got the last 2 soups. It’s not my fault if your memory can’t recall what was ordered and you have to ask ‘anything else’ over and over. I’m nothing but polite when I come in. Given the number of reviews mentioning poor customer service, it’s clear I’m not alone in this experience. I understand it’s not easy standing on your feet for hours, but I hope this feedback encourages a friendlier attitude in the future. TIA

Cannot fault the food from here or the service! Been a customer for years and have never had a bad experience! Customer service always spot on.....delivery service exemplary too

sausages hard and inedible, bacon cold and hard had to put in microwave to warm it up. Very disappointing as food is usually excellent.

Fantastic wholesome food at great prices - our new favourite takeaway!! Really polite cheery delivery driver too 👍

Sandwiches were top notch. Fresh and tasty

Absolutely love this place the food is top quality and tasty never disappoints and the pasta salad bowls are amazing I would eat here all the time if I could

Great food and fantastic service every time. Highly recommended.

So good is their food that I ordered for both my lunch and dinner

As always they deliver quality food and products, doesn't get any better than here.

Yet again they never fail to deliver on amazing food and fantastic service

Lovely staff and great sandwiches. My favourite place to go if I want to grab something quickly! The food is really good quality and the roast chicken is fab. It’s freshly roasted in the shop and you can tell it’s fresh hen you eat it

if you have not brought food from here either in their shop, or via Justeat app then you don't know what you are missing, quality food and exceptional service

Amazing food 😋 my chicken tikka salad was delicious, my husbands bin lid was great and even filled him up, which is no mean feat. Would highly recommend 👌

Wonderful! Excellent quality, tastes fantastic! Only a slight problem that I ordered extra salad items that weren't given. Was given very little salad but it won't stop me ordering again because this place is just superb at what they do! Thank you :)

Please read!! The food is FANTASTIC!! Pickles NEVER disappoint! Just eat drivers made us wait for our food for over an hour after it was ready! Disgraceful

Amazing salads! Going to be regular order now. Fresh and tasty!

i would recommend this place to anyone, Fresh, clean hearty food! that taste fantastic!

If I keep commenting on here how good this place is, people will start to think I work there 🤣 but seriously if you don't believe me then try it for yourselves 😋

Food prepared incorrectly! Unable to eat one of the sandwiches ordered

Thank you! Everything perfect once again.

Sausage rolls only Luke warm, not hot as advertised.

Amazing. Substituted something they didn’t have and sent a free flapjack very good service.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely selection of food. Had a nice sandwich from here and would love to be able to go regularly to try all the other different tasty looking options.

Amazing food as always from St Anne’s fine foods/Pickles

The sandwich was very good lovely fresh bread lots of filling. Ordered 2 pork pies only 1 sent

Thanks for a very tasty lunch and fast efficient service

What's not to love about here, amazing food, fantastic friendly staff and great customer service.

St Anne's Fine Foods, or Pickles as i've known it for what feels like 20 years? is just a really good store...their sandwiches have always been top tier at an affordable price, and the pork pies are insane! Not just that, they've now started delivering, which means that my work from home lunches have become a lot tastier! I ordered previously and unfortunately some items were missing, I informed the store of this and they apologies and offered me some freebies on my next order. I have just got that order and the willingness to own up to a mistake and rectify it makes me want to be a repeat customer (even though I already am). Plus they even left a note with another apology. It felt sincere and I feel thats what Pickles has been this whole time, a wholesome, sincere, tasty company.

3rd time ordering from here and I can't get enough

Delicious sandwiches as always. Love the vanilla slices too. Great service!

Food was brilliant again! Went a bit crazy on the cranberry sauce and the egg mayo but apart from that it was top-tier as always

The food here is so good that I would eat from here 3 times a day if I could 😋

Asked for no cucumber on one of the sandwiches, wasn't nice to bite into it to find cucumber on it as it makes me throw up. Couldn't eat pasta either as salad also had cucumber in it.

The food is fantastic and beautifully presented. Order arrived on time. I will be ordering from these guys again

Great quality, good delivery time and nice surprise to get a little freebie too

Smashing it out of the park again! Fantastic food as always from Pickles! Haven’t sent a bad meal yet!

Wow! So fresh sandwich was lovely fresh bread, chicken, great quality. Super fast delivery too! Thankyou

I cannot fault the food from here whether purchased in the shop or via the app, I was disappointed today, not with my order but with whoever delivered it, they buzzed my intercom but by the time I opened the door, it had been left in the front porch and the driver was nowhere to be seen, could have been taken by any of the other tenants in my block.

Knocking it out of the park yet again!!! Cheese Savoury was SUBLIME! Sausage rolls beat Greggs Hands-down! Every time! The better half had the roast chicken, bacon and mayo.. She said it was INCREDIBLE!! Insane that we got a loaf cake as a free item with our meal as well!! Cannot wait to order again!

Fast and brilliant sarnies! Thanks for the free cake too

First time ordering from here and it was absolutely amazing! Realistic delivery timescales too! Super service! Delivery driver was immaculate and so nice too which makes a refreshing change. Food was probably the best we have had. Recovering from major surgery so wanted a few salad boxes and sandwiches! Usually find places are stingy with the chicken, tuna or whatever.....not here! Was fully loaded and tasted delightful! Kids tuna mayo sandwich was "ace"! Comolimentary old school cake too which got me all emotional........if you haven't tried here.....get ordering as you won't be disappointed! Absolutely top notch

Food is always amazing from here. Arrived quickly and is always so fresh. Even gave me a lovely freebie

The quality is amazing!!! So glad they now deliver!

Said for years that Pickles are the best sandwich place around. Absolutely unbeatable!

Another belting brunch! Bacon & Egg Mayo was incredible! Highly recommended. Topside Beef & Horseradish was also excellent! Top marks again for Pickles!

Delicious fresh food definitely gonna order from here again 😊😊

Amazing! The best food place on just eat and in the Lytham St Annes area. Fresh food and all tastes delicious! Will definitely be ordering again in the future! :)

Very fast delivery. Sandwiches so nice. Will be ordering again.

Whatever it is you buy from here, you can guarantee it will be fresh and tasty, the sandwich I had was a meal on it's own, packed with salad and chicken, there is something in this deli to satisfy you and you won't leave disappointed

Delicious food served by fantastic polite staff

I came here a few months ago and the staff were rude when I was looking to order a sandwich, ended up leaving and going elsewhere. Decided to give it another go today thinking it may have been that particular staff member and the customer service was still awful. The server was rude despite me asking him politely for a cardboard tray to protect my eggs. He was argumentative and needs customer service training, would go as far to say that many of them need it, including the old blonde woman. There is no hygiene standards as he served me raw bacon, sausages and was touching cooked food. Would recommend going to Gigli for your bacon and sausages. Much better service, hygienic and good quality. Looking at other reviews, there seems to be a pattern of rude customer service Response to owners comment : If eggs are put in cardboard every time maybe you need to train your staff as my purchase was not packaged correctly. In regards to my hidden agenda in regards to staff? What would that be and what would I gain from it? Surely you as a business should apologise for the poor customer service I received and look to rectify the issues many people are raising on here. Going off other reviews on here I'm not the only one who has experienced rude customer service.

Fantastic find in St Annes-on-the-Sea. Very busy little spot. Friendly service. Had a gorgeous proper pork pie with plenty of jelly, and a freshly made roast beef roll with salad. Absolutely delicious!

I visted Tues 5th Sept and was absolutely gobsmacked and left furious after I was told to "come on spit it out" from the narrow minded women behind the counter . I have a stammer so sometime's I struggle with certain words I expect that in a school playground not a narrow minded shop worker will never set foot in there again

This place is an absolute gem, they have such a varied selection of amazing food on offer that would satisfy any pallet, their sandwiches are amazing and all provided by friendly staff served with a smile

Ploughman’s box great, sausage rolls brilliant, cooked meats and cheeses awesome, pies amazing Evie’s realllly good

My daughter has recently moved into the area so I have popped into this shop twice in the last 10 days, fantastic choice with friendly staff and the food (sausage rolls/sandwiches, hot pot and bakewell - and take away lattes) were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back! Thank you.

Exceptional sandwich. Great menu. Everything on show looked simply delicious. An army arches on its stomach and this made my team/colleagues very happy!

We bought trays of sandwiches fir our Coronation party. They were delicious. Lovely fresh soft bread, really tasty fillings. You can tell it’s top quality produce used. Will definitely recommend and order again. A thank you for Lynn who works in the shop for her help. She’s always so kind and helpful.

fantastic service fantastic food love popping in for a butty and a cake.

Great selection on menu, not bad prices, lovely friendly staff and service good, highly recommend

Bought a hotpot and it was delishous and great value for money l also purchased a ham sandwich for my lunch at work 😋 yummy as usual. Thank l highly recommend you x

I thought I would try this place for the first time as my boyfriend highly recommended it! We was met with such lovely staff! Especially the young girl called Rosie who was so lovely and polite. She made an absolutely delicious sandwich for us both, we can not recommend this place enough! Keep up the great work guys!

I’ve been going to this place for years, since the early 2000s and I’d not been for a few years since my job moved out of St Anne’s. The food has always been top notch, very reasonably priced, and my favourite hands down are their doorstop sandwiches. Just amazing! For not much more than you’d pay for an off the shelf boring sandwich in a supermarket it’s all freshly made and great value for money. Last week I’d gone in around lunchtime and the queue was out the door (always a good sign) and one of the young staff members had accidentally missed the bacon off my sandwich (it happens when you’re busy!) so I phoned up and when I went back the next week Cath kindly replaced it for me no charge plus the 2 cakes I’d bought too. It’s not often these days you get fantastic customer service and quality food at great prices. Just by Ashton gardens entrance. What a gem.

Great sandwiches with a vast selection of fillings. Their white crusty bread is gorgeous. We also have to have the old school cake. Not cheap but high quality produce used. Our go to when in this lovely town

Lovely sandwiches old school cake is the best everything is fresh great service every time

Order sandwich platters for a party They were fantastic ,service was great ,definitely be shopping here again

Love here for lunch however hate attending due to ignorant staff who are always chatting to each other about there family drama - 3 times I have visited recently and its always the same.

Came to this fabulous shop on holiday from Manchester & wow what a well stocked shop, butchers pies & got 2 home made turkey sanwiches which were best butties ever. Staff great , service too. Well worth a visit - despite rude customer next to me ! Will be back for more soon, Lvly.

Great Staff and food was absolutely delicious I personally think its better than subway I 10/10 recommend 👍🙌

Cant fault the food, although some of the staff do not have a friendly attitude. They huff and puff and walk away mid order.

Grabbed a sandwich here most days when I was in St Anne's. Great selection and not stingy here. Fully filled wraps and sandwiches.

Great location in the heart of St. Annes town centre with great hot drinks and the cherry bakewell and old school cake slices are lovely! Highly recommended!! :)

Bacon is stale and hard to chew. Staff walked away when I was part through saying my order. Heard so many good reviews about here. Very disappointed. The food was microwaved, hence the stale taste.

The festive sandwiches...WOW. This shop and Giglis the only decent shops left in St Annes

Fantastic shop. The 1/2 roast chicken salad box is amazing. I particularly liked the onion bhaji side salad. Great selection of local cheeses.

Opened up my sandwich paper with sandwich in and an ant walked out 🤢 gross 🤮 felt sick and binned sandwich emailed them no reply

Fantastic shop...great salad boxes sandwhiches cooked meats..unbeatable

Absolutely unreal sandwiches in this shop. I used to work in there in 2015- 2016! I can’t wait to visit st Anne’s again to treat my partner to a sandwich! I hope you still do firecracker chicken, the deli is to die for and the fresh cooked meats everyday! I can’t wait to visit and get my sandwich fix! The staff at st Anne’s fine foods are so lovely of whom I can remember! staff there always had a laugh and a joke with customers. Also if anyone goes for cheese make sure you try the garlic Lancashire cheese! It’s unreal! I hate to see these bad reviews as everyone has bad days and trust me the sandwiches make up for it! See you all soon ladies! Steph x

My favourite sandwich shop. Best BLTs by far. Mayo is amazing. Sausage rolls are great too

Fine foods and specials with friendly staff supporting us through all. Been a regular for the many years living in St Annes. My favourite place to shop for takeaway sarnies, soups and brews in town. Around corner from highstreet tesco on way to the Park. Always been made welcome with home-made and cooked from fresh specials. Nice bread available on site with a full deli counter. Personal favourites are the Daily homemade soups (£2.20) and Spicy Indian Wraps (£3.50)

This is one of the best food shops in St. Annes. Staff are very helpful, and give service with a smile, the atmosphere in the shop is warm and friendly and you can have a bit of a laugh and a joke. All goods are fresh and tasty. There is always a queue at the sandwich bar, especially at lunch time. They sell a variety of jams, marmalades and also lemon curd, orange curd and blackberry curd all to die for. There is also a variety of cheeses as well as cooked chicken portions and a variety of pies and sausage rolls. They have been open throughout the pandemic and allow just three customers with masks in at any one time. If you have never visited the shop you must give it a try.

Best ingredients and nicest sandwiches around, great selection of other local foods.

I don't know what's happened to most of the commenters on here, but I've been going here for years and everyone has always been really friendly. Really nice bacon barms at breakfasts, sandwiches and soups are mega at lunch. We always order patchwork pate at Christmas, and the precooked gammon joints are delish too. You can call up and preorder if you're bothered about having to queue.

Lovely fresh foods at reasonable prices and service was perfectly fine. Best little deli cafe in the area.

Fantastic little deli with a wonderful choice of food, unfortunately the staff here need customer service training, they are very rude. How you can trade a profit with staff like this is amazing! Such a shame as it is a lovely little shop but I will not be back with staff like that

Positives first- their sandwiches are really great. Lovely thickly sliced bread and a wide range of filling choices, which are good quality. However, I went in here a couple of days ago and was pretty shocked by the customer service and disregard for the pandemic that is going on. In fairness to them, there was a sign up outside the shop saying 3 customers at one time- all good. But when it was my turn to go in, I went in and placed my sandwich order with an immediately angry lady, and was keeping my distance from the other customer who was in there. Another lady came over to take my friend's order and we were shouted at by the first lady for not ordering both together. Despite already knowing and making a start on my order, she then shouted at me to come down to the end of the shop and ordered me to stand directly next to another customer. A bit baffled as to why, I went down a little further and the poor man had to move away so we weren't stood next to each other. The lady continued to be so rude to us while she made our sandwiches, again seeming so put out when we asked for something else too. It was just a really strange, almost embarrassing experience... I can't imagine what could have made her act so rudely to us. I also noticed that none of the 5-6 servers behind the counter were wearing any masks. The shop is tiny so they were all close together. If you go into any cafe or restaurant at the moment, all waitresses are wearing masks... and these ladies who were actually making the food we were eating had nothing. It really put me off, and I was pretty shocked that with the current times they weren't even taking the most basic of precautions. I won't be going back here again. It's a shame as their sandwiches were a real treat. But I refuse to give my money to a shop that clearly has no regard for the safety and experience of their customers.

I go here because they have a large selection of meats and cheese...Otherwise I’d avoid. The majority of the older staff are just plain rude (slim blond haired lady especially). They leave you waiting whilst they finish their conversations and everything you ask for seems like a huge effort accompanied with sighs and frowns. The time I was told I couldn’t have a yoghurt because they’d now been put away (one metre behind them) in the silver fridge was mind blowing. The younger girls there have always been nice and helpful but the attitude of others takes away any positives of the experience.

The food was lovely unfortunately the attitude of the young girl that served me was absolutely disgusting. I felt like giving her the sausage rolls back and telling her to shove them where the sun doesn’t shine. How they can let someone like that be front of house is beyond me. Disgrace. Avoid at all cost likely to ruin your day

Looked a lovely shop,, very ignorant and lazy staff, went in there at 3:45 pm they did not close until 4:30 pm shop was empty would not make me a sandwich, Even though they had the stuff ready to make it,, awful customer service

Popped in for bread .. got 6 barm cakes. Cost £2.80 also selling bags of pasta at a price. Hope the pasta is dated as it's already been taken from a bigger bag .

Amazing deli with a wonderful selection of cooked & uncooked products to choose from.I've brought cooked meats from here & not once been disappointed by my purchases, I always buy a cooked gammon from them at Christmas as it's just so lovely, also they offer a great selection of bacon & sausages along with cooked chicken & plenty of other delights.They sell eggs... bread & rolls, what look like home made preserves pickles & relishes.They offer filled sandwiches & rolls to take away & the queue is always long.First class service provided by fantastically friendly staff, what more could you ask for?

All for supporting local businesses so was very dissapointed to be made to feel like a problem, because I had the audacity to try and pay with a £10 note. At first her disgust was subtle with a simple tutt when I revealed I only had this available. Then, just to confirm I was aware, that my hope to complete this transaction was unacceptable, she proceeded to state to the full shop that ‘nobody in St Anne’s seems to know what change is’ and to try and diffuse the situation, when I offered to pay by card I was sharply told, ‘it’s too late now!’.Needless to say I won’t be returning, so that’s a little bit more money that won’t be going towards her wage.

Good friendly knowledgeable staff . Great for range of cheeses and fresh meat . Good choice if freshly made sandwiches and snacks

The staff are all lovely and smiley. Food is amazing, especially the wrap in a box!I visit most days and work in the square so is very convenient! 5 Stars

Called in for a breakfast barm today, I won't bother again. For just shy of £3 you get 2 of the sausages piled up in a tupaware container In the back & bacon that would trouble a bunch of piranahs. Service was average if it wasn't for the Huffing & puffing the lady was doing who served us (not what you'd expect from a mature member of the fairer sex). My partner fancied a hot sandwich & had to use all of her powers of persuasion to get her to melt some cheese. When she asked for tomatoes to be added then that was too much & wasn't possible for some reason, it wasn't like the 5 of them were rushed offotheir feet, we were the only ones in! Delicatessen bit looks alright but don't stray from the menu for butties if you don't want to be huffed out on to the street!

Purchased spit roast chickens from here and they were quite nice so are their eggs, cooked meat was to plasticly for my taste and the coleslaw tasted off and sour.

Been a regular for a few years, before it was called Pickles T and has continued with the same deli counter and takeaway food, 5 misn from the train station and right on the side street to the main park. I usually pop in for one of the 4 soups £1.50, or HotPot with cabbage £1.70 with a Tea £1/50p (small). There is plenty of options for deli with cheeses, meats, jams, chutneys and bread for sale with a fridge offering cold drinks and milk. Staff are friendly and helpful.
