B R E A D We get our bread baked by @andysbread It’s great bread. There’s no bread on Mondays. That’s one of the days Andy spends with his beautiful young daughters, educating them, watching them grow, nurturing them. There’s no bread on Mondays. That’s the Law of Bread. For the three people who ALWAYS ask for bread on Mondays, please do not worry. We close on 31 January. This is therefore the penultimate Monday for us to have THAT conversation. In summary, no bread today. This is an archive shot of the sort of bread we’ll have tomorrow. Which is Tuesday. Happy Monday . . . #shoplocal #localbaker #mrandmrsdeli #andysbread
G O O D B Y E S Eek, and the lovely folk started saying their goodbyes. Don’t make us blub now!! That’s not fair . . . #communityshop #shoplocal #smallbusinessowner #mrandmrsdeli #feastsandfables
R E A D Y 10am til 4pm ... we’re ready, are you?
P A N I C We have to report increasing levels of concern and consternation as we enter the LAST TWO WEEKS of Mrs Deli’s cakes. Today, an emergency delivery of Blackberry and Orange Frangipane to sit alongside the Chocolate Raspberry Brownies and the moist Gingerbread. A very fine selection for those who cannot conceive of a life without the cakey loveliness . . . #makeyourmoment #homemadecake #shoplocal #eatlocal #mrandmrsdeli
S H E L F I E With about two weeks to go, there’s less stuff about. But it is very fine stuff indeed. Pretty certain that a gin night on 23 January and Wine/Drink Us Dry (January) evening on 30 January should break the back of it . . . #lessbutbetter #makeyourmoment #delilife #mrandmrsdeli #shoplocal #smallbusinessowner
S U P P O R T When we started out, Henry @harplanedeli generously shared his time and talked openly about things he’d have done differently. It really helped two naive souls with no background in retail. We’ve relished that kind of support throughout our time and we’ve always tried to pay it forward. No surprise to find a beautiful handwritten note from Henry in the post to mark the end of this chapter and the start of our @feastsandfables adventures. A very lovely touch from a super supportive fellow traveller in this high street adventure. When you’re in Ludlow pop in and say hi. We will for sure . . . #makeyourmoment #highstreethero #smallbusinessowner #shoplocal #community
M A K E R S . . . ... maketh the deli. We have to be different. We need to have the stuff you don’t see so often. Actually, we need the products you don’t know you need until you see them. None of us head out with ‘Gin Pickled Cucumbers’ on our shopping lists. But once you’ve tasted them, you are NOT going to look back. We discovered @newtonandpott serendipitously ... January is when we head out on the road to find producers, to seek inspiration, to ‘forage’ for stock ideas. We peeked into the fabulous @goringgrocer in early 2016 ... time and ideas were generously given and we filled our basket with some of Kylee Newton’s finest handmade produce and resolved to pop a selection on our shelves. @newtonandpott has been a staple ever since. We went to visit the unit ... we watched the tiny florets of cauliflower being hand trimmed for the Posh Piccalilli ... we navigated to the production unit by following our noses and sniffing out the aroma of pickling vinegars. It always makes a difference to hug a producer. To make the connection. But as we draw down our high street presence, we received a note from Kylee saying that the time has come for her to draw production to a close. It’s not easy for producers. Rising costs; reducing margins; the dominance of big factories. We feel privileged to have overlapped with such a high quality, handmade range of preserves made by folk who care about every aspect of the production. It has been our good fortune to stand on the shoulders of these giants, the makers of the things you didn’t know you needed until you tasted them. Do keep supporting these folk ... they keep the shelves interesting. They keep the high street special. They make what we try to do so much easier . . . #handmadewithlove #preserves #themodernpreserver #ginpickled #shoplocal #highstreet
In Breaking News, we have cakes. Enough for each hand. 10am til 3pm today (Tuesday). We have other stuff. But we mostly have cakes . . . #homemadecake #shoplocal #smallbusiness #highstreet #cakes
I N O T H E R N E W S There are lots of folk who just know us in the deli. That’s cool. Without our lovely deli customers, well, it wouldn’t be much of a deli! But over there ... yep, over THERE, we’ve spent the past two years hosting a supper club. We’ve loved it. Great tastes, ten folk around a table, some stories and chat and good friends, old and new. Mrs Deli does knock out a very fine pudding ... maybe that’s why in our new world @feastsandfables she’ll be Mrs Feasts. Makes sense really. We have one more supper - this Saturday. It’s fully booked again. Which is nice. For those of you who haven’t made it to one, we’ll just leave this @honeyandco inspired dessert here. Do keep an eye out on @feastsandfables because we’ll be popping up and doing some more of this. Got an idea for a supper near you, shout up . . . #gatherandfeast #makeyourmoment #feastsandfables #supperclub #greattastes #foodstories
