Some work colleagues told me about and i've been going back for special occasions ever since. They have a great selection of meats and the most gorgeous cheeses including yummy Welsh varieties as well as traditional Italian. OH and the freshly made cakes and bread, its just too good. Andre will helpfully suggest how to make the most of the ingredients and give you little tasters. It really does remind me of being back in Italy everytime I go.

Farthings at home is the delicatessen that's part of the restaurant/wine bar. It's not attached to…read morethe building but it is only across the road. If you're a big fan of Farthings (which I am) it's a great place to pick up all kinds of treats that they serve in the restaurant. The cheeses are incredible and I subscribe to the theory that the stinkier the cheese the better. One good slab of Stilton had full control of my fridge for over a week. It's all really good quality local produce but also stocks speciality treats. Around Christmas time this place is absolutely buzzing, not just because people are stocking up on gingerbread, cold cuts and cheeseboard goodies but because they sell gifts. I got my mum some lovely tapas bowls and stuffed olives as a stocking filler last year and she absolutely loved it.

Farthings at Home is a great deli, but it is very, very pricey in my estimations. I bought some…read moremaple syrup in there recently and it cost just under £6.00. Now I know that the cost of maple syrup has gone up inordinately, and that the brand (an average one) is organic, but this is a little extreme! It's usual to pay over £4.00 for maple syrup in supermarkets, but you can find it cheaper at either Lidl or Aldi where I bought some for about £3.00, but I can't remember exactly which one... try 'em both! And. I think it was organic... but quite oddly, for a high cost food item, there is usually little to no difference in the pricing structure of organic and non-organ syrup. I still visit Fathings when I feel like a treat, and want to splash out. They do the best of everything, and so you'll never be disappointed with the quality. If I was on a high income I'd shop here all the time. They have an extensive stock range, and so you can pretty much avoid the supermarket when buying the ingredients for dinner.

The window display looks like something out of a museum - huge tins and magnificently large cans.

We had some amazing food in the café and then purchased some lovely wine and cheese and beautiful homemade apricot chutney on the way out.

We had the most dreadful experience in this cafe on Thursday 11 April 2019, when my disabled wife…read morewas told by the proprietor that she couldn't sit in the restaurant area with comfortable chairs and proper tables, because of her Guide Dog! She could only sit in the dog friendly area that only had bar stools. We quickly explained that it is unlawful under Equality legislation to treat someone with disabilities less favourably because of their disability, or because they have a Guide or assistance Dog with them. But sadly, it quickly became obvious that my wife was not going to be treated with the respect and dignity she deserves, and the atmosphere was no longer conducive to enjoying a meal, so we left. He has since spoken with the Guide Dogs for the Blind Engagement Officer, and been informed of what he should have done, but no apology to my wife was ever forthcoming, which would have cost him nothing! I just want my wife to be treated like a human being! Each (illegal) "you can't sit here, sit over there" is a crushing, confidence shattering rejection.

Oh if only they were nearer my work! This is a deli counter / salad bar / cheese counter / sandwich…read moreshop. The sandwiches are just awesome, baps, baguettes or straight up sliced bread sandwiches that just never seem to go up in price. You get loads of filling, can mix and match and some of their specials are just amazing - tandoori chicken with mint sauce was my favourite but I haven't caught it recently. The cheese on offer is pretty wide ranging and there's also other unique items like eggs (I think they do geese eggs when they're in season), offcuts of smoked salmon and pies. Often people are queuing out of the door but don't let that put you off, it moves pretty quickly and it's only a small shop so there's not usually many people in there.

Elin Wyn Williams, the owner of Bant A La Cart Delicatessen, wasn't in when I called the other day…read morefor a chat. She was off delivering food to one of the film crews working on location in Cardiff. This has been a more common occurrence over the last two or three years. The film industry has pushed a little further West and has moved the majority of its productions to Welsh soil, leaving cities like Bristol to their own devices. There have been economic reasons to justify such a wholesale departure. Location shoots in Wales are significantly cheaper, as are all of the allied services that go into putting together TV and film productions. So, with fierce economic pressure, amid the backdrop of global recession, production houses and film companies are doing it on the cheap these days... that is to say, they're saving money on everything but the food! Bant A La Cart has managed to scoop up most of the catering contracts within this new Welsh growth industry. With a reputation for excellence, a broad choice of epicurean delights, and the ability to deliver an unparalleled service, it's small wonder that the Directors opt to sooth the fraying nerves and damaged ego's of their starlets with victual balm from Bant's.

Foxy's Delicatessen is something of a gem in Penarth's repertoire of shops and eateries. The…read morewonderful selection of produce includes traditional style pink lemonade, freshly baked breads, high quality cuts of meat and an array of cheeses, all nicely on display to customers. With Foxy's Deli choosing to stock a higher standard of goods, the prices are of course a little steeper than you'd expect to pay in local supermarkets, butchers and convenience stores. However, with the charming young staff and notably delicious food stocked, Foxy's does represent a happy alternative, with relatively good value for money also ensured. The cafe section of the shop uses the same high quality meats, breads and cheeses for their eclectic selection of sandwiches, all freshly prepared on the premises downstairs. With a number of drinks and cakes also available, Foxy's not only serves as a deli, but as a pleasant cafe with it's tasteful surroundings and lively atmosphere. Take away service is also available for sandwiches and cakes which simply adds to the high quality of service offered.

It's also a very popular spot for locals to have a cup of coffee to catch up, so expect this place to be busy! All in all, I like Foxy's. The food in my opinion is a solid 3 stars. ~ Atmosphere: It's a tight little space so there's not much room to maneuver around. If you're here during a peak time, be prepared! Especially near the deli counter, often times the queue and get pretty large and hectic. However, it does have a certain charm and especially when the sun's out, I highly recommend you have your brunch outside. ~ Customer Service: Really friendly and has all the charm of a local cafe. ~ Food: The last time I came here I had the Eggs Benedict. I ordered sandwiches before, so this is the most *substantial* thing that I've ordered. Taste-wise it was fine but they made some strange choices such as wholegrain toast instead of a traditional English muffin. Aside from that, unfortunately my poached eggs were overcooked. One of the saddest things in life is cutting open an egg and expecting to get delightful runny yolk but instead still medium-boiled eggs. However, it was still a yummy meal. The hollandaise sauce was fine so it hit the spot, just definitely not something I'd be still pining over. Overall, I like Foxy's. It's nothing out of this world, but a great place in Penarth for a quick meal and a coffee.
