The Deli in Calderdale

Went yesterday with friends on a business trip. 7 of us. Found a table and a helpful waitress got more chairs to accommodate us. Could have done with another table but it was busy so we said we would manage. Friend went in to enquire what soup it was. Person, rude unfriendly. Felt like didn’t want to serve us so we all left.

Visited here a few times & we love it! Food is always lovely & fresh, and prices are good too! Cakes are massive and delicious! Staff are very helpful & chatty! Definitely Recommend!

Have visited the deli on several occasions, the service is always excellent, nothing is too much trouble. Food is lovely particularly the cakes. Tried the vegan chocolate cake today, recommended by a staff member, which was beautiful. Well worth a visit

We managed to get a table. So busy had to settle for other venus in the Halifax piece Hall that weren't a patch on the deli. The staff are friendly, The coffee good. We had a pleasent lunch. Have almost worked through most of the menu visited so many times. We would recommend the high standards of food. Aren't eating cakes at the moment but they are delicious. I enjoy all the food on my visits as does. my partner. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff. They will alternate food on the menu eg do wholemeal as an alternative to what it says on the menu. The salad side is always fresh and they serve a variety of drinks hot or cold. The atmosphere is quite relaxing, even when there are lots of people passing by. Service is quite good they work very hard deliver high standards. Would highly recommend. I have recently visited a couple of places in the Westgate arcade because I was unable to get a table on my last couple of visits here. And I have to say. No where else matched the standards of the Halifax piece Hall Deli. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our next visit.

Very good service and lunch. Friendly staff and handle rude customers very well. Would go again. I enjoyed it and I enjoy the piece hall in general

I visited with my husband yesterday (20 March). I'm dairy intolerant and the ladies helped me with suggestions as to what I can eat. I ordered a sandwich and there was some confusion over what I'd ordered. I sent the sandwich back as it wasn't right. Unfortunately it still wasn't right when it came back out again. My sandwich was made again, and it was fine. I got an apology (and a beautiful cake as an apology too). It was just a simple mistake, easily done, very enjoyable in the end. Thank you for sorting. The Tuna Lady 😃.

Excellent service, staff catered for my family of five. We were served quickly, drinks and food arrived together. The coffee was very good. We had cake too. Highly recommend a visit here.

Unfortunately they are so disorganised they lost our order - despite one of us being visibly pregnant, we waited 40 minutes and no food came. We were absolutely starving by the end of it. They refused to refund us claiming they're a charity. Unbelievably poor service. I had to ask several times to get their attention as the girls behind the counter were just ignoring customers. There seems to be a lot of bad reviews about their customer service, I can see why - they made no effort to apologise or put anything right, they were far more interested in playing the blame game with each other as to who lost the order. They eventually reluctantly gave me a small refund that didn't cover the cost of the food they didn't serve - which hasn't even appeared back on my card anyway. They may be a charity but that doesn't excuse dehumanising treatment, not giving people what they paid for and being *really* un-caring about a legitimate complaint. I'm suprised the Piece hall allows a business like this to run. We left, very frustrated and were served brilliant food very quickly at a cafe around the corner.

We sat outside under the heated gazebos. We all had a melted sandwich and they were really nice. The tea was spot on and the service was excellent. We'll be visiting again that's for sure.

In this place on two occasions now our food has come way before the coffees or drinks at least ten minutes. This is poor hospitality etiquette. Food ends up being cold before you have anything to drink with your food. Communication could be better between the food and drinks service delivery to prevent this.

I don't live local, Wales, but took a detour on my way home from Harrogate to Halifax. Part of the reason being because I've visited this place 3 time in two years and the reason is the food, the soup in particular. I've tried 3 different soups now and I am amazed at the quality of soups this little place produces. Seriously top quality soup, and sandwiches to be fair, but the soup is better than some so called top restaurants I've had soup at. Had this been available to buy off the shelf I would certainly have stocked up. The taste is superb and balanced perfectly in flavour and texture.. This is every time I've visited and every soup tried. Definitely worth a visit and reasonably priced.

Been here a few times, food is delicious and good quality The chicken and chorizo melt is outstanding! Beautiful soft baguette and plenty of food on the plate as it’s served with crisps and a side salad. Good value for money, only downside is there aren’t many tables inside but that’s the nature of where the cafe is

Gorgeous lunch and good prices. Situated in the Piece Hall. Highly recommend the hummus bagel. It’s a busy spot with great staff.

Had never eaten here before but thanks to a bit of prior research on TA we enjoyed a very good lunch here today ( Sun 23rd July .) It was very rainy but the Deli had large & efficient sun umbrellas outside so we stayed totally dry. You order at the counter inside then they bring your food to you. I had the tuna & cheese melt on a lovely crusty but light baguette, served with crisps & a salad garnish, my husband also really enjoyed his ham & cheese melt. Our son enjoyed his chicken & chorizo salad too. We felt the food was good quality & value for the Piece Hall & we would definitely recommend the Deli as a good place for lunch here.

We had a look at a number of places for a light lunch and decided this was the best option. A couple of us had jacket potatoes and the other two had sandwiches. The quality is excellent and the prices were very reasonable compared to the other options in the Piece Hall.

Food is really good and service is usually quite fast. Hot chocolates are 10/10, and the melts are unreal. They offer gluten free bread, so melts can be done if cross contamination isn’t an issue. Only issue I have is they tell you things have gluten in when they don’t? Like mayo and pesto, so I ask to check ingredients and they don’t have gluten in. So I think they need to be a bit more clued up on what gluten is as it is quite unnerving and worrying really, also quite frustrating every time!

Lovely spot, staff where friendly and very helpful. Food was really good and presentation looked beautiful. Chosen the Mother's day brunch menu. The Host really looked after us.

Lovely treat from my niece for Mother’s Day. Took us to the deli and what a lovely place, lovely meal and wonderful cakes. Staff where really friendly and welcoming. Thank you. Will definitely recommend this place. Beautiful

The location is beautiful in the newly restored Piece Hall. You have to queue up to place your order and although the staff are super friendly, the queue was glacially slow. It took almost 20 minutes just to let them know what I wanted (it was the third choice as the first two had run out)! Not a great customer experience unfortunately.

Clean, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Good food choice and drinks what’s not to like! Also sells treats and foody gifts to take away.

After wandering round the Piece Hall we felt peckish and popped into The Deli. It was lunchtime and there was a short wait for an inside table. The staff were friendly and gave us a menu so we could choose our lunch We both chose melts which were quickly delivered to our table and were accompanied by salad and crisps. They were good quality.

I came here with my elderly blind grandad and my toddler and I was taken aback by how friendly and lovely the staff were. They were so helpful and really went the extra mile. I get anxiety in busy places but the staff here made me feel welcome and relaxed. The food is really nice and the portions are good. 10000% recommend.

What an outstanding coffee shop. Amazing drinks Massive scones beautiful cakes. 10/10. Nothing too much trouble the staff are brilliant nothing too much trouble.

We stopped off briefly in Halifax and went to the amazing Piece Hall, a hive of high quality local independent businesses. We popped in here for coffee and cake and it was amazing. Very good value for money and really high quality with nice surroundings and lovely staff. Generous helpings of cake and the tea and coffee was amazing too. Please support brilliant local businesses like this.

Our first visit to The Piece Hall and were delighted with the offerings at The Deli. Good service, tasty latte and hot chocolate and delicious toasties. Overall, very good indeed and will recommend.

whilst the weather was so nice i decided to have bite to eat so popped into the deli at the piece hall, And they have a wait till call forward policy, regards ordering. menu was fairly comprihensive. so ordered capacino and cheese & yorkshire pickle sandwich followed by jam drop.food was very nice so was the atmo, staff very friendly but food ordrers can take a while pending on what time you go. but otherwise no complaints.would deff recomend this place when visiting the piece hall and halifax .

Grabbed some lunch here and they do really nice toasties. Gluten free bread and a couple of cakes is available which is good. Nice to sit out in the piece hall. Only annoying thing is they said the mayonnaise wasn’t gluten free which I find...

Greeted on arrival and offered a table outside overlooking the square. Good selection of deli food at reasonable prices. Despite being rather late for lunch on a warm, sunny day the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful - at 2:50 we'd just...

We were looking for lunch and found a table here. The menu is quite extensive with lots of choice for vegetarians. I had a jacket potato with cheese which was a very good portion of an excellent quality potato. Prices are reasonable.

Very nice coffee and sandwiches.Will definitely return again.Piece hall is also very nice to look round with the many lovely shops

We had a lovely sit outside upon our arrival at Piece Hall this morning. It was a bit chilly, so one of the staff put the outside heaters. Tasty flat white and cappuccino brought out to us. Lovely view of Piece Hall while we enjoyed...

Great place for our lunch. Our first visit to Halifax and The Deli did their bit to cement our very impressed impressions of this lovely town. Food was fresh and not overly priced either. Seating in and out is a seasonal choice of course! Well...

Waited by the door to be served - as requested on signposting due to Covid 19 regulations - and waited. Waited some more whilst 2 staff members both looked but failed to acknowledge our presence. Waited another 5 minutes whilst a female member of staff...

Went for a swift lunch. Great coffee super hot. Decided to have lunch. Since lockdown the quantity has food has got smaller and more expensive Prompt and friendly service. Lovely food just expensive for the amount you get. The salad that comes with your food...

We were regular visitors until lockdown and have supported the deli since reopening.I have visited three times this week but we will be looking elsewhere after today's visit sadly.Staff work hard and efficiently but the quality of the food is not what we have come to expect.

A great place - superb piece of cake served by a lovely lady. Service really nice and covid control was VERY strong. Lovely people lovely place lovely food and drink

I called here for a coffee and scone on lunch way round the Piece Hall. The sun was shining and all was good. The staff were great, the food as good. The coffee was particularly good. A lovely place to spend a while.

Lovely little place at The Piece Hall. Very reasonable prices. Generous serving of smoked salmon, olives, coleslaw, salad and bread. Friendly service.

Not fair to call it just a take away sandwich . Presentation superb can highly recommend . See you again soon.

It was very busy but we were quickly and plesantly served. The coffee is wonderful and we had a delicious bowl of the soup of the day (roasted butternut squash). It was served with herby croutons and a bread roll and butter. We also has the spicy Louisiana chicken toasted melt with side salad. This too was really tasty.

Highly recommend, quality ingredients, superb coffee, super friendly staff, highly recommend, also stock produce. Great place.

Dove into first place we came across to get out of the weather on a cold and windy day. After a quick glance at a smallish menu ordered a sausage sandwich and a coffee. Sausage sarny finished at 11.00 am. My wife then selected the mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes toastie. The lovely waitress then brought Sorrento on a plate. It was simple and gorgeous. Gino de Campo watch out! We will return to the Deli.

Lovely location on edge of Piece Hall square. Good range of sandwiches and toasties, freshly cooked with tasty bread. Tasty home made soup, fresh iced water freely available. Efficient, fast and friendly service. Highly recommended.

This coffee shop has a very good location in Piece Hall. It has quite a small interior but very pleasant outside space. It is not far from the train station and we called in for a coffee not long after we arrived. We enjoyed two flat whites and enjoyed the view from the terrace.

We were in Piece Hall and saw the lovely food being brought to people sat outside - the selection is good and the pork pie delicious too. Didn't have room for cake. Highly recommend this place - lovely staff too.

On a weekend filled with events in Piece Hall and square arts surely more tables should be put out. Staff seemed like headless chickens and when I asked if any idea of tables just told wait outside. Not great customer service. Has happened previously too so not uncommon

After an enjoyable tour of the Piece Hall, we dropped into “The Deli” situated at one corner within the site for an excellent lunch. The menu offers a good choice of meals and we chose two of the range of platter selections. Well presented and very tasty, the staff were welcoming and efficient. Duly restored, we continued our visit of Halifax.

Although quite small (get there before the lunch time rush) the menu is basic for butty's but this means that despite the amount of customers the food arrives quickly. Recommended .... the Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Sarnie. You can sit out in the Piece Hall Square under cover and enjoy the view as inside it is a bit cramped ...... overall though enjoyable. Good selection of cakes as well.

Really lovely coffee, toasted tea cake and Bun. Staff super nice and helpful it was raining and we didn't realise it was dog friendly inside until they mentioned it so definitely be regulars from now on! Little touches make all the difference ...Lurpak butter and lovely pot of Jam how nice is that

Visiting the piece hall specifically. Found the deli at lunch, limited menu but looking round at other diners plates and ours, very good food. Very good service and friendly staff. My only suggestion for improvement would be bigger coffee cups. Loved the coffee but wanted a bit more.

Had a great lunch at the ‘The Deli” superb food really friendly staff - good value for money Would definitely go there again

Wanted more than a sandwich but more than a drink. Staff found us a table for 4, moving two smaller tables together. Good menu go early for a breakfast or a bit later for lunch or have cake. Selection of different pork pies and teas and coffees. We had ploughman’s and ham roll served with salad and or crisps. Reasonable prices.

We called here for coffee when we first arrived at Piece Hall, which gave us a little time to get our bearings, and it was much needed refreshment after our long drive.

In common with all the PieceHall businesses, this is nota large place but the coffee and cakers give it a largeheart. Clean, tidy, warm and welcoming - together with the aforementioned coffee and cakes - made this a treat on a cold afternoon.

Great cafe with a good food selection at reasonable prices. Excellent coffee too. You can also sit outside and enjoy the Piece Hall

A lovely cafe supporting regional producers. The money actually goes back into supporting the sustainability of The Piece Hall. Had an excellent hot chocolate and piece of cake, but they do hot and cold meals also, at excellent prices. Really clean and showcasing regional wares.

We were visiting Piece Hall and happened on the Deli by accident around lunch time.

We recently had lunch here. The place is small but well staffed and very efficient. I guess you wouldn’t have long to wait for a table. In warmer weather there is outside tables too but it was too cold to eat outside when we went. Eat in and take out food and drinks are available. All the food was lovely and hot, very tasty and excellent value for money. We would definitely go back for more.

We went in for lunch after wandering round the Piece Hall and had s very pleasant lunch. All four of us had different food and drinks and although the place was busy we had hardly any time to wait and the food was lovely and freshly prepared. Good coffee too. It isn't a huge place but we didn't feel cramped or too close to other people even though it was lunchtime and pretty well full. As well as nice food and drinks the staff were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic for lunch ,wouldnt go anywhere else. The coffee is amazing and just sitting in a place with loads of atmosphere, even in the winter just looking out of the window feels great.

Lovely fresh sandwiches made to order served with a smile, what more can you ask for.

When visiting Piece Hall this is definitely worth calling in to. Freshly prepared sandwiched good coffee and lovely cakes. Does get busy and lunch time but worth the wait.

We have been here several times and always enjoy the food and find the service very friendly. The food is always excellent and very reasonably priced. Great coffee. Yes, it is small, but that is not the fault of the staff, who always try to accommodate everyone in a helpful and cheerful manner. We love this place and wish it every success and hope people are not deterred by people criticising the size. They really do their best here and we are really happy that it benefits our beautiful Piece Hall.

Great little Deli but quite crampt. Their menu does not advertise everything that they have on offer. We enjoyed a couple of hot drinks. The service was good.

Yes its a small cafe but the coffees and the food is first class, highly recommend, they should be bigger, they are so good.

This is a great cafe however it needs to be bigger, we had to sit on a table outside in the drizzle. It’s nice to see a cafe so popular however few more tables inside in order to enjoy the nice sandwiches would be better.

This cafe has tables outside and inside. We sat inside, in a friendly atmosphere. Our order came quickly. I had tuna melt, my daughter had the soup. The menu is not too large, but a good choice of sandwiches both hot and cold. The food was freshly prepared and tasty. Some previous reviews have been critical of the service, but we had no problems. Packs of teas and biscuits are on sale, of the type suitable as gifts.

I called for lunch on a quiet Wednesday. However they had already run out of brown bread before 1pm. I wish now I had gone somewhere else but it looked nice and I fancied Wensleydale and beetroot rolls. So I agreed to have white bread. When it arrived it looked good so I t tucked in. Only to find under the salad a brown slimey mess - clearly lettuce leaves that had gone off. I mentioned it to a waiter who said sorry, we just tip the leaves on the plate from a bag. Don't they know lettuce in a bag goes off quickly and surely they should watch what comes out? It was horrid.

Whilst visiting the Piece Hall we called in here for a coffee and snack. We sat outside overlooking the forum. Popped inside to place our order and unfortunately had a long wait for the goods. We actually had to go and ask were our drinks etc were. The staff were very apologetic but had run out of cups and only one machine was working. It appeared they could'nt cope with the busy time.

This is a very small cafe in Halifax's prime tourist attraction and quite frankly it cannot meet the demand because of it's size.

It's 9:00 am on Monday and I have the deli to myself right now. If you like a quite chill place to get your morning brew with no rush, then you will love it. Great atmosphere and well presented staff.

We were delighted to discover The Piece Hall whilst on a day visit to Halifax. It is one of the most stunning buildings I have seen in the UK and is the home of a wonderful range of small independent businesses. Any excuse to stay here for longer and enjoy the atmosphere was welcome and so we stopped at The Deli for lunch. The food was excellent including a particularly good bakewell slice. If we are ever in this area again, we would definitely return here.

Food was lovely, we sat outside and had the lovely view of the piece hall.

Popped in for coffee and cakes in the afternoon - sat outside overlooking the square watching the people come and go. Nice spot in the sun. Friendly and efficient service. Best cup of coffee I have ever had in Halifax and the cakes were nice too. Reasonably good value for money

This is one of the more family friendly eateries at the Piece Hall. (The others are more like pubs with a bit of food). The menu here is varied and food is good. My companion enjoyed a generous cheese toasted roll (not sandwich... it was bigger) and I had a salmon and feta salad, also served with a whole large roll. There was a large serving of beautiful smoked salmon and a good pile of feta - plenty for lunch. Coffee is good. Note though, getting a table outside can take some patience. But if you can get one it’s lovely to sit outside in a sunny day. Service is efficient and lovely. I would come back here.

We went with friends to see the Piece Hall. Called at The Deli for a spot of lunch. Good assorted menu. Order and pay at the counter. Waited an age to be served although there was only two other customers in front. Trouble was that there was one immediately on the other side of the counter handing out orders to s waitress and another person off to the side taking orders and trying to put them together. There were numerous mix-ups between the two !!!

Had lunch here, lots of choice and not overpriced. The food was delicious and served quickly. Would certainly recommend.

Visited twice now and couldn’t of asked for better service! The girls were so friendly and especially the foreign lady who was more than happy to help me with my choice for myself and my daughter. The cakes was cooked lovely and tasted really fresh too! Thanks again will defiantly be back soon!

Always a full house whenever I visit. Food tastes so clean and fresh unlike the coffee chains the cakes taste like they were baked that day. The sandwiches are always filled to the brim of delicious fresh ingredients and the coffee is a lovely smooth tasting blend that is only complimented by the amazing food.

I've give this place a few attempts to fix their issues and unfortunately its just not up to scratch when compared to the service in the rest of the piece hall.

I’ve had two trips to this Deli so am able to leave a more rounded few. The first trip would’ve have got 4 stars, the second trip would’ve got 1, so the rating above is quite generous.

M and I visited the Piece Hall recently and this seemed like the best place to get a quick lunch - the menu wasn't vast but we had nice sandwiches and soft drinks. We popped back later for a cuppa. The staff were friendly and the service was pretty quick given how busy it was. There were some nice gifty food and drink items for sale too.

Their coffee and cakes are pretty good. And the location in the Piece Hall is great. However, lunch is a bit of letdown. Any deli that serves dry salad leaves without dressing should go back to sandwich school. Also, the Wensleydale cheese tasted of absolutely nothing.

The sandwiches are delicious. Toasted baguette with Filling served with salad and coleslaw, yummy. The coffee is lovely. A great little cafe in the delightful Piece Hall.

The food is excellent and well priced. Nice place to sit and eat whilst taking in your surroundings.

The deli has the best coffee in Halifax and the food is always delicious. The staff are so warm and welcoming and always greet you with a smile. The cakes and scones also deserve an extra meantion, I could of had them all! I couldn’t rate it more, I recommend it to all my friends and family and anyone from out of town who visits. Such a great atmosphere and a wonderful location as well. The Deli has is all, you can come here for breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. What a great coffee house, with a great selection of things to buy.

Unfortunately not up the level of a branded coffee store - burnt coffee, stale food and too much gossip/chatter behind the bar for my liking - it's a shame the piece hall doesn't have a Costa instead. Would recommend taking the short trip down to the brilliant Costa nearby instead.

This place has a lovely menu and cake selection, I had a tea and piece of orange cake mid morning which was yummy. The staff are very polite and helpful at all times, I opted to sit indoors, but there are tables outside if you wish to enjoy the sunshine, well worth visiting.

Had a coffee and cake here, coffee was really good and the cake selection made it difficult to decide! Scone, rocky road and flapjack were all very good. This is such a nice spot with outside seating we came back for lunch. Goats cheese and avocado roll and humus and red pepper roll were tasty, the ploughman’s, quiche with salad and jacket potatoes also looked good. Staff were helpful and friendly.

A great selection and spoilt for choice with a wide variety of tasty snacks. I opted for an orange chocolate fat rascal which was one of the best things I’ve every tasted. Bettys do a version but not half as good as this one. Accompanying coffee very good too, and made just the way I requested. Staff friendly, helpful and informative.

Lovely lunch and the coffee was made to perfection. The staff were so helpful, particularly with my two young children. Will definitely be back.

A small, cosy deli/eatery in The Piece Hall ( the only one at the time of this review). Reasonable fare with unusual twists ( a toastie of feta, olives and sunblush tomatoes on a bulky roll). Short on space but delightfully cheerful, helpful staff - it may come under pressure to cope as the Hall develops as it has no competition as at Dec 2017.

We stopped for a coffee at the end of a walk recently. Very welcoming, with a good reasonably priced menu. Outdoor seating available
