Village Delicatessen in Colchester

Love it great food sarnies, staff excellent and knowledgeable

I have been frequenting the Deli long before we made the decision to move our family to Wivenhoe. It still firmly remains one of my favourite spots for lunch, and I often go early for the delicious, freshly made sandwiches and soups to be enjoyed either on the waterfront, or at home. The owners have always been very friendly to me. I respect their preferences for limiting numbers in their store, as well as the mask-wearing requirement during this difficult time.

Absolutely brilliant place. Excellent selection of cheeses, wines, baked goods. Owners are very friendly. One of my favourite places in Wivenhoe.

We're so lucky to have such a wonderful Deli in Wivenhoe, well supplied and the owners are great people

The man working in here was extremely rude. Wouldn’t let my child in. A perfectly well behaved and reasonable 9 year old. It was like something from a Victorian era. I would never support a business that doesn’t appreciate mothers shopping with children. Their loss, that’s £20 of my money they didn’t make today.

Looks a lovely place with nice food, But I agree with a previous reviewer, the man serving had No idea how to talk to customers. He was the rudest man i've ever encountered working in a shop. If he's the owner he doesn't deserve to stay in buisness.

Absolutely love this place. Small and local business as it should be with lovely owners and delicious food. I’m particularly in love with their cheese counter and the variety. Always friendly and helpful it’s a gem in a lovely spot for a walk too.

Wivenhoe Deli has a good variety of quality cheeses, wine and food. Friendly service and Covid conscious and have remained open through the whole of the pandemic. I especially like the cumin goats cheese - yum!

I love this place, always a friendly welcome and like a bazaar selling all sorts of wonderful goodies, fantastic bread, the absolute best selection of perfect cheeses and brilliant meat from local Becky's Butchers. Very much missing the tea shop breakfast and cakes at the moment!

I’m a regular customer here. The range of food on offer is extraordinarily impressive; and everything is of really high quality. The choice of cheeses is superb. So is the choice of meats, soups, sweet and savoury biscuits and condiments. There are lots of fine wines and excellent breads and delicious cakes to choose from, fresh eggs and top of the range jams and marmalade, tasty teas and delightful coffees ... the list goes on on. Such a wealth of good food and drink in such a relatively small space is pretty close to miraculous.The service is first class: warm, informed and very friendly. The proprietors seems to know everything there is to know about food and drink; and they are always willing to share their expertise with their customers. This is the heart of the village - although I guess it might be more anatomically correct to call it Wivenhoe’s well fed and well satisfied stomach. Whatever you call it, it’s a place that offers real quality and value for money.
