The Wee Deli in North Ayrshire

Take away lunch shop that was a let down. Called in to pick up a sandwich. My daughter is on a strict dairy free diet due to allergies…we struggled to get anything for her. Chef seemed to think eggs were dairy…that her mayonnaise had milk in and that a chicken poached in milk was ok. Finally we got that sorted…shouldn’t have been so hard. Then there was my sandwich. Ordinary ham on brown. I paid 80p extra for salad…which consisted of a very few undressed leaves, one sliced cherry tomato and two chunky slices of cucumber. I really wouldn’t go back…over priced for what we had and absolutely no idea re allergies which is ridiculous really. A supermarket sandwich is cheaper and tastes nicer. Think that says it all. Very disappointed.

This is my experience of my first visit to The Wee Deli Ordered takeaway of 2 sausage rolls which were ready for collection on arrival and my wife chose a Quiche Lorraine type tartlet whilst in the shop. Quiche lorraine type tartlet. My wife was unable to finish it as it had a very mushy filling when heated. Posh sausage rolls burnt on the underside and what I call ‘Lazy Bake’ sausage rolls i.e. looked like and tasted like commercial link sausage wrapped in pastry. Not for me. I prefer real sausage meat. Both ended up in the bin. Pity because these items get good reviews on their Facebook pages.

My family have been ordering pate every Christmas for years from here and travelling from Glenboig to West Kilbride to collect it - didn't get any last Christmas due to Covid and was getting withdrawal symptoms!!! A colleague mentioned they lived in West Kilbride and we recruited him to order some for us. As usual the service was excellent and when the order was ready it was delivered to his home - he has brought the pate in to us today and I have let my colleagues try it for the first time and they agree that it is the best pate they have ever tasted. I cannot recommend this highly enough to do it justice - it is a taste sensation!!!! Thank you Wee Deli :)

I was gifted an afternoon tea and the selection of everything was really lovely. I wasn’t expecting anything and the first time it was delivered, we were in the garden and didn’t hear the door. They took the time to come away back down later to try again. I would absolutely recommend them, and the afternoon tea. Great food and great service.

Thought lunch deal ie soup anf sandwich would be more than enough and in fact the haggis soup and pate and onion chutney baguette looked too much but with the friendly atmosphere meant we stayed long enogh to clear our plates and share in Katies birthday cake. Thanks Gillian and Mum.

I’ve had a few things now from The Wee Deli: pate, soup & pies. All were delicious. The cheddar cheese & ham pie I had today is definitely one of the best I’ve tasted. Great quality and service. I’d highly recommend this wee place.

Popped in here for a wee bite with a mate before heading back home , the woman behind the counter was very unpleasent and the food was bland , definitely wont be back

Great little shop situated in the heart of West Kilbride,anyone who visits the village i could reccomend this place great food and staff are very helpful

Gillian is so friendly and helpful and the food is often locally sourced and hand made. She takes orders for cheeses and pate and will let you know when it's available.

Great home cooked produce, soups with a difference and the most fantastic pate you have tasted !, Friendly, helpful and chatty staff. Lots of cheeses on offer with surprising tastes.

Was to die for very tasty bought at local market had tequila bf randy and cranberries will be buying again

Soup and sandwich lunch special 4.20 Chicken banana soup yum! It might sound strange but delicious! Friendly likable staff person and great service, not much seating but a lot of people takeaway enjoy!

Fabulous food & service by the amazing Gillian, a pleasure to visit time & time again, always busy but worth a few minutes wait for the food, 10/10!

Great little deli, fantastic selection of fresh food, freshly prepared homemade food, fresh pate' and delicious homemade soup. Great, friendly service and made to feel very welcome. My family are regular visitors.

El paté es para morirse. Primero intenté después de comprar en un mercado de agricultores y han hecho algunos viajes a las tiendas o recogido de pedidos de otro mercado. Almorzamos mientras estábamos allí y sopa y sándwich eran bastante bien. Sin duda recomiendo este pequeño lugar.

Great local deli. The couple that own it are always friendly and helpful. Great lunchtime homemade soup and sandwiches and naughty treats!

I would not recommend the cajun chicken sandwich. Brown bread not fresh and cubed processed chicken was disgusting.

Bueno, pero no sólo cosas abiertas en el fin de semana un cruce entre una tienda y una cafetería. Un montón de comida camino hecho a la orden.

Nunca había estado en West Kilbride antes, pero yo estaba asistiendo a un programa de radio en el hall del pueblo. Después de la radiodifusión, mi novia y yo llevamos a recorrer el pueblo en busca de una copa y un aperitivo a mediodía. Por casualidad pura encontramos "Altas Deli y pasó por, y estoy de haberlo hecho.

What a wonderful place, you will honestly not be disappointed if you choose to visit this delightful shop

Had popped in to get some homemade pate as I had heard so much about it.I had went over in the Christmas holidays when it was closed so when I mentioned to the lady I had been a few times and was closed , my fault I should have looked, she offered to have my pate delivered to the house (so very kind) lovely wee lady and very helpful. Pate was amazing will definitely be back very soon. Thanks again x

Delightful ambience, top quality food with lots of choice all served in a friendly and professional manner.

Taking time out with my daughter we visited The Wee Deli in West Kilbride and oh what an experience it was....We had their famous Chicken & Banana soup it was amazing a real must and the Cheesy pasta is out of this world creamy..smooth..tasty...perfectly balanced and extremely enjoyable. And of course followed by homemade cake and coffee. All the cakes are wonderful but the Carrot Cake with its Cream cheese frosting.....AMAZING!! You must visit here even though it has a small dinning area you will find yourself waiting to sit and enjoy the atmosphere, the owner is a truly wonderful host along with the other members of the staff...it all makes a warm and friendly place to be a real you time that we all need...Keep up the wonderful experience Wee Deli... bravo!!!

Dropped off in East Kilbridie this afternoon whilst enroute to Largs on the train - was walking down the high street when a lady stopped us out of the blue and said you must pop in The Wee Deli and try one of the Friday Soups - we had Banana and Chicken Soup with Posh Sausage Roll - highly recommend ...yum yum ... Will be back for more

Gillian's soups are legendary. There's also a great selection of tempting cakes and goodies and the pate is the best you'll ever have. All cooked fresh and with great care. You just can't beat The Wee Deli

If your looking for fresh grate tasteing food then the wee deli is definitely ware you want to go. The only thing a feel that lets it down is that the price are a bit higher than the other lunch spots near by.

Facebook reviews led me here but I was a tad disappointed really. Bread was nice on the sandwich but the soup was a wee bit bland for me, disappointed after so many raving about it on their page

Great little find, missed out on the famous soups but instead was lucky enough to taste the fabulous home-made pate. Nice friendly couple running the place and in the heart of the excellent little craft village of West Kilbride as well.

Soup and sandwich is a good deal, free sit in option and a good bit of banter! All freshly made to order.

Customers come from miles around at lunchtime to share in Gillian's daily soups. She generally makes three varieties each day which are unique and flavoursome - I can recommend thoroughly.
