Wigston Fields News And Deli #NotJustACornershop in Oadby and Wigston

The place has a range of cakes, Indian snacks, and takeaway meals, as well as assorted pre-packed deli goods. All made fresh by local partners, steered by the owner. The samosas are the best I have tasted in Leicester, and I have tasted quite a few in my time. The pre-packed pork pies are by Walkers, which is a top brand, and very good value.

tried it a 2nd time and it was terrible was was sick for 3 days never again needs reporting to health and safety so I will never go to that place a 3rd time thanks

Been going here the last six months and every visit is a pleasure The indian food is epic the Breads cakes deserts are all of the highest quality The drinks selection is second to none and they sell fine whiskeys aswell And the owner done me a great deal on a bottle today Great people and they deserve every success

Today was our first visit with my family and children. I was impressed by the food, the cakes looked amazing. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Overall a great little shop and worth the visit.

Wow! We popped in as we were visiting the hospital and wanted to try it after finding out about it on Facebook. It was so worth the short detour. The staff were absolutely lovely. Great to meet them after seeing their Facebook posts etc. The food has all been delicious. The potato bhaji was stunning (I don't like onion so thanks for the information that it didn't contain any). It took my tastebuds back to a trip to India. My partner loved his vegetable samosa and onion bhaji. The other items we purchased (bakery things) were also fantastic. The homemade chutney was to die for! We will so be back. x

So I popped in yesterday to get the new roast chicken samosa, and whilst there decided to get some 'burnt' cobs for the husband to try. The staff Kam and Elliot served me, both super friendly and helpful. The samosa were delicious and the cobs a huge hit too, so much so, I have returned today for more 'burnt ' cobs, more samosa and a bhaji or 3! It is a corner shop, but it's definitely not 'just' a corner shop.

My experience getting a too good to go bag from here was so bad. Standard too good to go bags are a selection of items. I got half a cake essentially, wrapped in cling film. The guy said to add some simple syrup so I said ok and he said do you know what that is in like a patronising way so I had to repeat back to him what simple syrup is😂 Could tell the guy felt slightly bad at the fact he was doing a bit of a rip off and could tell I was surprised at this disappointing too good to go single item, so he said for the guy on the till to add a Bhaji and a pot of chutney “so she has something to eat on the drive home”? So 2 items, rip off and random. The cake wasn’t nice but the bhaji was top notch, just a shame I the concept of too good to go wasn’t understood by this corner shop. The shop is quite messy, it’s right that it’s not JUST a corner shop, but it is still very much a corner shop. Deffo not a deli. I do feel bad for those travelling far to visit. Wouldn’t recommend it as it was uncomfortable, patronising and not quite clean / tidy enough for the nice bread it was selling. Also it doesn’t have actual deli food such as olives/ meats etc. A lot of the Indian food is just standard for Leicester so is nice but is sold at 3x the price.

Visited fkr the first time yesterday, staff were very welcoming and helpful. Great products very fresh and taste great. Will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend others go to support this local business.

I recently left what I think in hindsight was quite a harsh review of my trip, I couldn’t edit so I have since deleted and take back my comments as the management dealt with it so well. I am incredibly impressed with how the team managed this in their response and their honesty towards the situation! I feel it’s only fair to say I most certainly would return after this. Also the shop has an incredible selection of goods, and it’s one of those places that will surprise you with a new treat every visit. I would be missing out if I said I wouldn’t go back!!

Such a brilliant little shop. We loved the wide variety of food to choose from. All delicious. Lots of admiration for this wonderful couple running such a cracking business. Thanks for the coffee too!

it a total miss in shop my samosa was old and musty and needs to clean the place up I will not be going back

This shop is such a treat. We wanted an alternative to takeaways on a Saturday and this shop had everything to offer. Had a lovely little gin tasting session with a lovely lady serving. This session was passing time on as we waited for our curry bowls. We've been to this shop a couple of times and it gets better and more informative each time! The staff really made me feel at ease and that in itself is a miracle! Thankyou for your great service :)

We stumbled across this #notjustacornershop a couple of years ago and it has become a favourite place. They stock a wide variety of top quality local produce, such as sublime curries, bhajis and samosas, made by the owners, who owned Lilu restaurant; Hambleton Hall breads, Doughnotts donuts, cakes (vegan and gluten free options), Vine Farm milk, local meats, yogurts, eggs, jams and chutnies, honey, gin, cider and so much more. They also stock the essentials and if you need something, they usually have it. The owners, Pratik and Bee, have become friends not just to us, but to the local community. They go above and beyond to help, offer support and kindness... during the pandemic they sourced items people were struggling to find. They also provide home deliveries for those who need it. My twelve year old daughter is autistic and has learning difficulties, and they have shown genuine kindness during times of high anxiety and overwhelm. As a means of learning, and to boost confidence, we have been making dog cookies, which Pratik and Bee have invited us to sell on their shopfront. In doing this, my daughter is learning valuable life and business skills, and we donate to local animal charities too. If you haven't already visited, what are you waiting for? The owners have a funky Chaat Bar with the yummiest freshly made tikka wraps, and a coffee caravan, serving 'proper coffee'. There is such a wide variety of delicious produce, you won't be disappointed.

Love visiting the Deli! Always such a warm welcome, customer service is amazing. Pratik and Bee are always happy to help in anyway the can! The shop always has an amazing selection of goods. Keep an eye out for special events too like the Indian Street food which was so good!

Ordered a too good to go bag as wanted to try it out… it was a total waste of time, 2 loads of bread who is going to eat 2 loads of bread in a day? A Viennese swirl that looked like it had been kicked around the floor a few times and half was missing! A chocolate bar( I thought it was produce that needed to be sold by end of day? A sausage roll, a tiny pot of some sort of sauce and a pack of who knows what as they had ripped the label off!! Which by the way is illegal to sell any packed produce without allergens, labels and best before date!! So quite clearly it must of been way out of date!! I have allergies and as we had no idea what these 2 items were we had to throw away!! All in all we could only eat bread, a sausage roll and a chocolate bar, total waste of the drive and won’t be back. Also a smile and thank you from the lady owner would be nice instead of a grunt!! I suppose I will be seeing this online for all to see so no I am not picking on you!!

Deli in suburbia. Great local produce.High end fresh food, Indian and Leicestershire specialities. wide range of Hambleton produce. Full of quirky ideas and personality. Particularly good for high end gifts from Leicestershire. Great creative enterprise with presence of entrepreneurs Pratik and Bee.

What is best? The outstanding local food, or the humour of the owner Pratik and his lovely wife Bee. If you want to experience an Asian version of Fawlty Towers, pop along to this little deli which champions local produce, especially local vineyard Rothley Wine Estate and local brewery The Mash and Press.

this deli sells everything that you could ask for I live around the corner from this shop and I go there every day. I would recommend trying out the ice- creams they are delicious, everyone is welcome at this shop. They sell very good plants...

An amazing service with a range of quality local products. Having our twice weekly bread order along with any corner shop/deli essentials. Having our weekend curry order, great quality from Lilu is a massive bonus. Couldn’t be more greatful in having #notjustacornershop so locally

We visited Not Just A Corner Shop on Monday and we were shocked by the beautiful array of homemade goods. Lots of cakes, samosas and breads as well as chutneys and jams - we could have spent a fortune! Instead we settled for vegan cakes...

I've been to the deli many times now and always found the range of local produce to be outstanding. I've also had top restaurant quality food prepares for me by Pratik, to enjoy at home. Highly recommended!

Pratik was so helpful in preparing us three of the most fabulous dishes for our party. He provided food for nearly forty people for us to reheat at home. Everyone loved it, we'll definitely come back for more. All three dishes were superb, butter paneer,...

I dropped by the Deli completely by chance, and now it's going to be on my route home. They have fresh bread, cheeses and milk as you would expect but it was the samosas and onion bhajis that caught my attention. Perfect for a quick...

Stopped by and got some of the best samosas - Really tasty and freshly baked that ended goig back to have an extra one, Milk tastes like it should - thick and creamy, you can taste the freshness. I miss proper food from back home...

Nothing is made in house but all of the ingredients are freshly sourced and some amazing items on the Menu, definitely worth it to make a stop and check it out

We had a curry on Saturday night and it was the best,freshest,flavoursome Indian take away that we’ve had in years.The couple that own it are lovely and are really trying to do something a little bit different in the community.They also sell a huge variety...

So this is the sister business to Lilu Fine Indian Dining Restaurant, and it's obvious as yet again they are doing something different. Still stocking traditional corner shop fare there is now also a dedicated deli area, show casing local food & produce, just like...

Love this place, they have a huge variety of items to purchase to accommodate all of the families needs - incredible bread and pastries, a great selection of cheeses, children’s magazines, sweet treats as well as fresh fruit & veg which supports the local community....

Run by a couple who not only offer the most amazing local produce but also delicious curry to preorder for collection on a saturday from their restaurant Lilu. Always a warm welcome when I visit and I spend too much because everything tastes so good!

What a lovely little place to buy some super deli food. The vegan sausage rolls are amazing and there’s a great variety of breads and cheeses. Fab.

I think it would be impossible to visit this shop and not find something delicious... and importantly a promoter of great local produce too!! Bread, samosas, ice cream, cannoli and lots more besides all fresh and local and great value ! You NEED to visit!!
