Pieri's has a nice selection of cold meats and cheeses as well as some gorgeous handmade chocolates and delicious ice cream. There is a café at the back of this deli and you can get a decent cup of proper Italian coffee and watch the big screen TV mounted on the wall. The staff are really friendly but unfortunately as Pieri's is quite expensive I don't get to pop in as often as I'd like. My budget can usually only stretch to Billy Bear Ham from Asda but next time I am feeling flush I shall certainly be treating myself to some fancy smancy ham from the lovely people at Pieri's!

Given the precedent set by waterfront businesses, I fully expected a shop of this name to be a proprietor of sausage rolls and cheese sandwiches, with a range of chipolatas covered in bacon if you were planning a fancy dinner party. Instead what greeted me was a deli which wouldn't look out of place in the swishest areas of the country. With vibrant, friendly and helpful staff, this place is a breath of fresh air for the town and offers some truly sumptuous deli treats, including a fantastic range of freshly made sandwiches. There is also a well presented seated area in which you can enjoy a meal. Indeed the two course lunch deal at 7.95 is astoundingly good value for money and comes highly recommended.
