Based on the atmosphere and quality of wine, I love this little spot. It is so cosy. We were the only customers in the store and received superb service. The owner runs this location and a few other shops, plus hosts food tents at festivals during Christmas. She came over to our table and made some wine recommendations and gave us a bowl of crisps on the house. My partner, Seth S., and I both ordered the Pinot Noir from Romania. It was delightfully full-bodied and smooth. The lighting is dimmed just enough to encourage good conversation and a comfortable atmosphere. There are two main rooms for seating, each with groupings of chairs or booths around bistro style tables. The art and decor feel like a brasserie. I would highly recommend The Deli for a delicious glass of wine (or 3) and great conversation with friends.

Breakfast Review:…read more One of the best Full English breakfasts in the Midlands! Its a wonderful deli, on the High Street in Boldmere, with outdoor seating - which is superb when the sun comes out! The breakfasts are awesome. Superb sausages, great bacon, exceptional bread, (the deli sells some of the best bread in Birmingham). 2 succulent sausage, 2 bacon, fried egg, 2 half tomatoes, mushrooms. toast, quality butter. Its one of the best in Birmingham, (I rate it joint 2nd). The staff are great, headed by Pip the owner and her team of assistants, (including sons). The only real problem with this place is that I always spend a fortune on their amazing cheeses, breads, cakes and pate's. Try it. You will thank me!

They stock a good…read morerange of meats, cheeses, olives, jams, pickles etc and fancy things in bottles and jars that you'd feel tempted to try out - leaving the shop with more than you intended to. We used to be obsessed with their roasted broad beans and their chilli bites that we couln't find anywhere else. They do a large range of sarnies, ciabattas and rolls. It's a lovely place tahat is not over priced and makes a change from the likes of Greggs. Next time your on the way to Bradgate Park (don't think it's open on sunday), stop off and stock up with goodies. You won't be disappointed

I'm usually in here for breadcrumbs, falafel mix, vegetarian burger mix, tahini, and my new favourite-Gits' ready meals. No giggling at the back! These are Indian-made authentic boil-in-the-bag vegetarian meals that are ready in 4 minutes and are as ideal for a lunchtime treat at home as they are for festivals and/or camping. The longer I stay in here the more things I'll see and buy, which I'm happy with, as I save loads by buying my basics at small supermarkets, so I can spend more on proper luxury! Like Belgian chocolate cups that you can use as the basis for bite-size desserts, or for liquors. And pavlova bases to pile Summer fruits on for a pudding to share. In the chilled cabinet are cooked meats and cheeses. At the counter you can buy Iranian sweets and a box of cigarettes. Nima is traditional, exotic and friendly. As it's one of Moseley's most long-standing independents, it also feels righteous to shop here. You'll appreciate the foods and they'll appreciate your custom.

I really love this place but I am scared that unless people use it they will suffer at the hands of the 'big boys'. Support deli's like this, they are a rare and wonderful thing.

Needing some lunch to share with colleagues recently we visited and picked up some wonderful food. The best thing we tried was definitely the salad boxes loaded with plenty of delicious cheese and cold meats for around £4 each. They have a very good selection of takeaway food. They stock lots of Italian style preserves, dry foods and olive oils. We also enjoyed some of their Italian biscuits and they stock lots of after dinner goodies. They serve excellent coffee, to stay or go. The staff were very friendly, patient and helpful as we made our choices. If you are looking for something special as a gift or a nice treat for lunch this place is perfect.

This store is a delicatessen (plus a lot more) that attempts to stock local produce as far as possible together with a more exotic range of items. If they don't have what you want, they we will try and get it in for you. They stock fruit and vegetables, dry foods, speciality teas and coffees, cheeses and meats, pasties and pork pies and a range of salads and pastas. On my last visit I was tempted by some delicious cheese. The store has been given a fairly recent makeover and fresh lease of life by the new owner and local Julie Williamson. The store will even make up hampers and picnic baskets for you if ordered in advance. A very upmarket corner shop.

There are also things like preserves and biscuits etc. It also has its own little cosy cafe which is well worth a visit if you can get a seat as its so popular. This shop is a real treat for anyone who likes good quality fresh foods. It could be bigger size wise and would still be full but that doesnt take away from the quality hence the 5 stars.

It was 90% rocket which is hard to eat in that quantity and I didn't! It may be my fault, but I forgot to ask for a fork, assuming that one would be included along with a napkin, which wasn't either! Eating hummous, beans and beetroot outside with my fingers was an experience! But I don't want to do it again, so please give your takeaways a fork and napkin, or at the least ask if they are required. xx

As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

It is very swish, with sliding doors, marble floors and big screen TVs behind the counters. Don't worry though; the staff are true Cradley Heathens - warm, friendly and down to earth. They jokingly tease me for being "a bit posh for around here", which is quite the compliment for a girl from Coseley. The fresh and locally reared meat is excellent quality, I'm a big fan of their smoked streaky bacon. They will happily order in more obscure cuts if you ask in advance. The best thing about Scriven and Thornton's has to be the deli counter. It is piled high with all sorts of cooked meats, pies, cheeses and Scotch eggs. They also serve the most incredible hot pork sandwiches - complete with crackling, applesauce and bread dipped in gravy. Understandably, the queue gets big at lunchtimes.
