I was out of the country and knew of this lovely place. Helen help me organise a delivery of some Deli favourites. Helen was so helpful and managed a delivery, making a lovely birthday surprise with card and note. Thanks again for your great service and helping to make someone's day special.

I tried the deli breakfast as recommended by another reviewer but it wasn’t to my taste. I didn’t like the weird beans and does avocado really go with a cooked breakfast? I liked the sausage and egg. The bacon was unusual and overall I didn’t enjoy it. I didn’t like the coffee either. It may well suit others but overall I found it disappointing. Nothing wrong with it just not to my taste.

Honestly extortionate, we ordered a salad for my daughter, a ploughman's for my son, I had 2 small plates and then fries between us and my MIL had a toasted sandwich..... £65!!! Only 3 soft drinks between us. My MILs toasted sandwich was just insane £14.50!! The fries were the biggest rip off I have ever seen, the fries were only a third of a small plate and were £3. My sons ploughman's was fine, but again £13 was a tad excessive for some slices of wafer thin ham (usually I would expect thick cut butchers ham) a sliver of cheese and not even a full tomato or full apple. My daughters salad was such a let down, the feta was great but the salad which would have been of minimal cost to the cafe were very tight as well. Genuinely blown away by the prices, I felt awful that I had recommended it. The profit margins must be incredible and fair play to the owner as she must be laughing, the produce was good quality but there is no way the prices could be justified.

It seems pricey at first but then you get your food and it doesn't seem pricey anymore. Hot chocolate at £4.75 also seems very pricey but this is hot chocolate heaven that you might normally find, say, in the Alps. Let down by the coffee which isn't great.

We popped in to try this cafe's wares after a long walk in the surrounding countryside. It's bezu, but we got served quickly from the efficient team. The menu has some interesting choices, we opted for whitebait and tarteflet. Booth were tasty, with quality ingredients. Prices are not cheap, but this is a quality eatery.

Fantastic little Delhi nestled in amongst other farm shops in the beautiful castle Ashby. Staff were friendly and polite but importantly the food and coffee were amazing; particularly the Scotch Egg. Yolk was dark orange and was absolutely delicious. Came with a side of fries. They also cater for intolerances and have things like Soya milk for coffee etc.

First visit at the café for a lunch. Lovely and clean setting but the food was a total disappointment. I felt like I waisted my money, the food was bland and not much to it to be honest. Especially the coleslaw, which was cabbage with mayo, thats it, no carrots or other veg no seasoning no other ingredients just mayo and that cost me £3.50 for a portion as nothing came with garnish. The staff didn’t check on us so we couldn’t give any feedback. I wanted to love it but left disappointed.

We have visited and been delighted previously and swung by today initially for a coffee and cake. We were tempted by the charcuterie board and a glass of wine. It was sow to come and very disappointing. Some poor ham, a few small pieces of salami, some wafer thin chorizo, some iberico(?) and some sort of rillette(?) that was frankly tasteless and a few cornichons. That with a side of bread £19. The quantity was at best very, very small and the bread nothing exciting. The wine was average. At paying, no question of how was it. We will now think again before visiting - sad really but a poor experience

Since The Deli moved its eatery into the old Buttery building next door this was our first time catching up over brunch. Lovely cheese board, which, by the way, was what enticed us to meet up here, was exceptional. Pickled walnuts are delish with cheese and again, perfect canoli, my favourite, pistachio, soo great. Dogs were all happy too. Even the rain didn't bother us, why would it. Its great to see The Deli evolve. I hope the atmosphere continues to be one where everyone feels like they've Discovered a Foodie Haven... I'll be back, more meet ups, more pooch treats and next time we'll see what the lunch menu tastes like.

This lovely deli has recently expanded and they have opened their beautifully refurbished eatery in (what was) the cafe next door. We enjoyed a fabulous tapas style lunch in the sun… washed down with an Aperol spritz and a non alcoholic beer. So nice to have lunch and then wander over to the shop for some treats to take home (wonderful selection of cheese!). Love the food and the vibe. Helen and her team work so hard to deliver delicious produce and excellent service. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful…. I thought I knew a lot about food but I always learn about something new when I visit the deli.

Have visited the deli many times since lockdown lifted. When service was from the shop with a menu, the food was lovely, service friendly and slow, and the method of ordering confusing to say the least as there were seats for eating-in and other seats for takeway, and perhaps you ordered at the counter or at the till..... Now it is a whole heap worse with both a shop and a cafe. We tried the newly opened cafe for 'afternoon tea'. We were inivited to sit down, read the menu and come back in to order. The cake display was poor - no brownies, sponges, scones, etc, as was the menu cakes described as desserts. We asked if we could get cakes from the deli to which the answer was yes, make your choice and come back to order. Did so and was told by different person that this was not possible. So ordered drinks and decided to do what had happened all summer, bought cakes in shop and sat down. To be fair we were grumbling about the chaos when the owner appeared....Our experience was far from that described by others. She felt it necessary to describe VAT rules (not my problem) and did not care a bit that her offer in the cafe probably does meet the lunch crowd, but has a poor choice for tea & cake. Her confrontational style was unhelpful, all I was asking for was a better cake choice. Such a shame to have lost a regular stop-off on our country walks .

Excellent selection of wine and beers and wonderful service. Thank you so much. Inside the deli is an Aladdin's cave of wonderfully local produce. The biggest selection of cheese I’ve ever seen. And really great knowledge and advice from those who work there. Will definitely be back, what a rare treat to have something so great locally.

We visited on a sunny Friday afternoon. We queued at the till for 20 minutes to order 2 cups tea and 2 cakes. 35 mins later our tea arrived but no cake, my friend went to the counter to ask for hem but was told they were on the way, 10 mins later, the cake finally arrived, which was delicious. We were then told that they hadn't put the cake on the bill and that they were short staffed. It would have been helpful if we were told there would be a delay due to staff shortages when ordering. The key to good customer service is managing customers expectations.

This wonderful delicatessen and cafe is just packed with luxurious, top quality food and drink. The cheese selection alone would make me return time after time but there is much, much more - all that you would expect o find in a good delicatessen plus bread, biscuits, cakes, tea, sweets, beer, wine, cordials.......the list goes on. It's a pleasure just browsing the shelves but I challenge any food lover to leave empty handed. I never have.A great place, not only to pick up ingredients for an indulgent meal but also to find interesting quality gifts or even to stop for a very good coffee and a tasty snack in the pleasant courtyard seating area. Drinks can be taken away too.It's worth mentioning that The Deli sits in the small and lovely village of Castle Ashby, in a rustic courtyard of tasteful shops selling gifts, antiques and furniture and right next-door to the beautiful grounds of Castle Ashby itself. A nice little daytrip with the added advantage of returning home laden with goodies!The staff in The Deli are always cheerful, friendly and helpful. They really know about the produce they're selling. Indeed I have received advice on cheese selection from the owner on a number of occasions - always spot-on.Prices are not cheap by any stretch, but they are fair - you get what you pay for.Treat yourself to a visit!

After visiting nearby Castle Ashby Gardens, we were shocked to discover that the tea room closed at 3pm and as it was 3.15pm, we were turned away. I therefore had a very upset 4 year old who was expecting an ice cream and a disappointed husband who was desperate for a drink and hoping for scones. Thankfully I spotted Castle Ashby Deli on the drive out the village and we were so happy to find somewhere that we could still get drinks, cake, ice cream and lollies. The customer service was excellent and the food delicious. Would highly recommend if you happen to be in the area.

The deli counter itself is fully stocked with fresh gems and an amazing selction of British cheeses. The home baked cakes are amazing and the sausage rolls are to die for. You can even buy them frozen to take home and cook yourself. The team who work there are very knowledgeable and make you feel welcome on every visit. This place really is a hidden gem!

We have just had the best lunch at this charming deli/café. It was a mother/daughter meet up with four of us. We had only planned to stop for lunch but ended up staying for three hours drinking mulled wines, mulled cider and Christmas tea. All our meals were cooked to order and staff made efforts to answer any queries we had and change ingredients to suit dietary requirements. The food was DELICIOUS and it was clear that the staff take pride in the ingredients and appearance off their dishes. After lunch and drinks we perused the deli shop which was ideal for getting local food and drink as gifts for friends (and indulgent treats for ourselves!). There was also a nice range of vegan products.The owner and staff were so friendly, and clearly took pride in running the deli and café so it was nice to feel like we were supporting their small business - Apologies that we didn’t catch your names, but thank you for a lovely afternoon!Eating and shopping there was a super experience and we will definitely be returning. Oh - and the home made vegetarian rolls are SUPERB! (Eating mine as I write this review).

I've just spent a week on a holiday where Susan from The Deli was the chef. I have a dairy allergy and, although not diagnosed as coeliac yet, gluten makes me feel very unwell for days and was very nervous about eating away from home. I am , however, able to eat fish and meat.All my worries were unfounded. Susan was a very knowledgeable lady regarding allergies and intolerances. My barn had a selection of foods that were safe for me to eat. Each day I was given incredibly tasty and healthy dishes. Susan also catered for a Vegan but instead of treating me the same (which would have made her life easier) she ensured I still had my meals tweaked. All seven days of my holiday were a culinary delight.Her meals were full of flavour and colourful vegetables. Her puddings and cakes were absolutely gorgeous. Normally I can't indulge in puddings or cakes because the combination of dairy and gluten free sends the chef into melt down. It didn't phase Susan at all.If you plan to visit The Deli a quick phone call or message and they will be able to cater for you and serve you tasty and delightful dishes – you won’t be disappointed.

We took A trip to Castle Ashby’s The Deli, in the autumn sun Unbeknown to us, they were holding a food fare, open to everyoneThere was a nice buzz in the air as we entered the Castle Ashby yardWith stalls and alcohol vans, to enjoy the occasion, wouldn’t be very hardArriving around 1.30 we had to sort out our hungry bellies first But there were no spare tables, the situation couldn’t be worse We stood and waited, giving that look, you know, the one with the big sad eyes Then the waiter called us, “There’s a table over here, guys “He explained the menu was just meat and cheese boards today due to the food fare This being, that the stallholders had the chance, to sell their own wares So not minding the limited menu we plummeted for a mixed platter for twoWe’d have probably chose this anyway, so no need to cause a hullabaloo We settled back and took in the easy listening tunes It was turning into one of those chilled out afternoons Then from the kitchen came a platter to excite the eyes and fill the belly Stuffed peppers, artichokes and pork pie, fresh from the deli Along with salami, Brie, Stilton and ham Olives, figs, salad, garlic, pesto, and a chilli jam A separate plate with both toasted and fresh bread And real butter which on top you could spread Delicious, delightful with an ambience to please Which was thoroughly enjoyed by these two attendees Lovely couple of hours enjoying the food and music played by the chap with the record player. Took a look around the stalls afterwards and purchased some fresh coffee roasted on the Thursday night, and a home made chicken and leek pie. Also purchased fresh bread, and two cakes from the Deli which were all fantastic.

Arrived here later Wednesday afternoon looking for a cup of tea having visited Castle Ashby (their tea room was closed!). We knew it was a bit late but the lovely lady owner put herself out to make us a lovely pot of tea even though they were closing. We sat in the courtyard and weren’t rushed to go. She made us so welcome. So a huge thank you. We wished we’d had retime to browse around the deli itself as it looked to have a huge selection of really nice items. Would definitely visit again when on holiday here next year. Thank you so much again.

What a lovely find- the deli is set in the lovely Castle Ashby courtyard and is such a great place.

We received a very warm welcome from Helen and her staff. We weren't sure if the cafe area was open though as it was unlit. We turned the lights on and chose somewhere to sit. It's quite a small cafe area but the lovely friendly helpful staff more than made up for it and we were the only people there so had their full attention. The food was tasty. We had a cold choice but hot food and a couple of specials were an option. There is seating outside but I'm not sure if it is for the Deli Cafe or the one next door. It was too cold to sit outside on our visit day but I think in warmer weather it would be glorious. A lovely courtyard with nice little shops. The Deli has some great food stuffs for everyone including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Will definitely return.

We have visited The Deli @Castle Ashby on many occasions since Helen took over earlier this year & have had fantastic food, great customer service and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere every time we’ve visited. The shop is always really well stocked with locally produced & hand-picked food & drink, and the staff really know their stuff about the produce they’re selling. If you’re looking for a quaint spot for brunch, lunch or an afternoon treat (the chocolate brownies amazing), then this is the perfect place.

What a gem of a place. Sublime food and drinks. The sharing platter is a must have! I recommend trying this place and make sure you ask about the specials!

Impromptu stop at the castle Ashby courtyard to find this fabulous place under new management and it’s fantastic. Brought a pie for dinner (lovely ) and brought a drink and scotch egg to eat outside there and then. Lovely. Make a point of going here!

Opened for 5 wks now and I had to check out the ambience for myself. It was a breath of fresh air as we were welcomed intelligently by charming authentic ladies who were clearly getting ready to close up. Unrushed and unhurried we ordered coffee and were offered freshly made cake of the day!? we went for it and luxuriated in the genuine friendliness of the hosts...sofa was comfy as were blankies laid out well...pleased to report I will be frequenting this little gem regularly ...I bought some local gin plus my friend bought a few local steaks!! The deli really is a deli....oh joy!! oh yes, the cake was delish and we left feeling like something fresh had appeared for us foodies....yay! oh and the recommended gin...sipping it now and its bloomin' lovely! xx

castle ashby is a beautiful place to visit. the tea and coffee are diving. the deli is excellent with a wide variety of exotic meats. if this is what you enjoy, as we do, then it's the right place to visit.

We have had some good food and drinks from the restaurant. Nice to finish the day in the garden of the house with a coffee and cake.

Vimos el Deli y mi primer pensamiento fue una agradable ale chutney que era encontrado y vigilado.

Hemos sido la temporada de los jardines en el castillo de Ashby durante algún tiempo ahora pero la semana pasada, no nos aventuramos a la zona de compras y lo pasamos un tiempo agradable.

Las personas son el Café confundir este con casi adjunto no es, este es un delicatessen pero tienes que buscar lo que lo. . Queso es realmente buena, hechas a mano chocolates son imprescindibles y siempre hay una buena botella de algo para ir con el "cualquier cosa " para preparar una fuente Stuart compartir para llevar y regresará por más. . Yo visite el Deli una vez al mes y no es un café, ¡merece la pena!

A great place to have a cuppa and sandwiches after a walk through the beautiful gardens. Food was fantastic and a fair price. Portion sizes are good and would highly recommend

Advises by the girl on the till to find a table and they would come to us. Apparently that was "easier for them". Sat for 10 minutes being ignored, despite making eye contact, before we got bored and left. It wasn't even that busy.

外の座席について注文を聞きに来てもらえるのをずっと待っていましたが、何回通り過ぎても他の事をしていてこちらには来てもらえず。テーブルの上には前の客の皿が残されたまま。この調子じゃあ料理が出て来るのも相当遅いに違いないと思ってそのまま席を立ちました。

Agradable cafetería con una buena elección en el menú. Agradable para sentarse fuera en el verano y pasear por las tiendas de patio

It’s quite nicely set out and the service was good. Everyone was very nice and attentive. We could not fault the food, however it is a tad too expensive for what you actually get.

We had left Hinckley Saturday morning and were on our way to visit a cousin in Olney and wanted to stop for a drink. We drove past this farm but further up the road turned round and ended up in the farm yard. We walked into the cafe and ordered food and a drink rack. Well what a find I came out in the end with cakes a local brewed craft beer . Would highly recommend this eatery if in the area,very clean and well priced with excellent staff.

I had a business lunch at the Great Western Arms arranged by my financial advisor. What a lovely tranquil setting next to the canal. The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. Well worth the drive to get there, which was also beautiful scenic countryside and villages once off the motorway. Unfortunately I did not have time to spend a night in the hotel but it is now definitely on my bucket list.

One of the best Sunday roast dinners that I have had in years. The publican was very kind and accommodating. Had a very nice and relaxing time. Thank you.
