They have an array of tasty pastries and hearty hot savoury dishes - and a huge selection of meats, cheeses, olives and the rest! I'm not big fan of coffee myself but they do smell nice also.

I also dragged my whole family along for a sandwich lunch. Dennis of Bexley is an award winning butchers and deli, that USED to be in the village and then it moved to Bexley Park where all the new town houses are. The prices definitely reflect the area. Between us, we decided to go for broke and just ordered pretty much half the deli bar. The hot BLT sandwich, the bacon was LOVELY, not too salty either. The roast beef baguette could've have a little more horseradish on, and the baked pastries-bacon and cheese/lamb samosa could've had a a bit more cheese and a bit more spice respectively. The hot steak and cheese baguette is just value for money, if you're going to go, i highly recommend that! We spent the lunch hour in the rather posh seating area enjoying our sandwiches. If only the sandwiches had a bit more finesse, a little bit more extra care in making them. It would be perfect. I'll definitely be back because it's so close to home and because it's such a cute little place. Clientele, from builders to soccer mums to office people. The amount of land rovers driving in and out to get lunch from this place was surprising. They're doing pretty well for a butchers even if everyone is just heading to the deli bar (I didn't see anyone actually buying the raw meat..)

Ordered salmon dish and it was cold and undercooked! Had to send it back by the time they cooked it the other person had finished their dish.

Lured by the quiche and baguette in the window, I popped in to L'Artisan last week for a look-see…read more What I saw was a mini-delight. This very cosy cafe offers a wonderful, little selection of French edibles from imported chestnut spread to cheeses to pate. There was a large pot of made-from-scratch soup to warm the bones on offer, too. After chatting with the very amiable and knowledgeable French proprietor, I purchased a few different cured meats and a lovely, somewhat stinky cheese. Not only did I leave feeling like I'd had a good interaction, but I'd also left with incredibly tasty food stuffs of good quality.

Beautiful pear tarts came out of the kitchen as we went to pay and leave. Are these what you serve in the afternoon, I asked L'Artisan. No, I was told. He proudly runs out of food throughout the day.

The Village Sandwich Bar is well worth checking out if you find yourself in the Belvedere area. I…read moream not keen on pre-made sandwiches in shops as you never know what goes in them. With The Village Sandwich Bar you get to dictate what goes in the sandwich. There are plenty of main fillings on offer from basic ham/chicken to chicken tikka and aromatic duck. Salad and sauces are also on offer and you can have the sandwich just the way you like it. There is a bakery element to this shop too with a selection of freshly baked cakes and doughnuts to go with your lunch. The usual crisps and cold drinks are on sale too. Prices at The Village Sandwich Bar are also reasonable with the average filled bap/baguette costing around the £2.50 mark however this is value for money as my tikka roll was generously filled and was the perfect cure for my hunger. Various meal deals involving snacks and drinks are also available. The gentleman who served me was very polite and friendly and obviously valued my custom. I shall definitely be returning there soon.

This place is a hidden gem. I think the whole store is run by women. Even the chef, who occasionally pops out to confirm orders. And did I not say this place is total value for money! It is the best place to have breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea or coffee! There are limited seats inside but there are some outside to compensate for that shortage. I'll very impressed with their service and options they have for vegetarians! Brilliant balance! My only concern is to there could be less clutter if they re-arranged the seats in a more sensible way inside the cafe.

There's a photo if you want to see the brilliance. I don't often find myself in Blackheath. It's pricey, it's posh and a longish walk from home. Greenwich is much more convenient for me. But sometimes, I'm tired and jump in a cab home from Blackheath station (a habit I really should get out of). Tonight I did just that. But I was starving. And the Village Deli was open and perfect. Back to that pie. Oh my goodness the pie. Wonderful wonderful mashed potato, which perfectly crisped under the grill (can you tell I haven't been eating carbs much recently?) Yummy meat and veggies - even a stray broadbean to make me feel especially wholesome. It's one of the best shepherds pies I've EVER eaten. And it was only £3.25. I might move in. Instead, because I had to spend over £6 to use my card (my only gripe and I've already forgiven them), i bought to scotch eggs for my lunch tomorrow. If I wasn't too full of pie, I'd have eaten them too. The rest of the place? Seating area for eating in (the do cakes, tea, coffee etc) and I'm assuming they'd warm any of the goodies on display. Staff were friendly. And they're open until 9. I'm in serious lust with Village Deli.

The staff said that they had run out of food which was sup rising given the time of day.

You can sit in and eat which is something I like but didn't take advantage of as I didn't end up buying anything but it is worth keeping in mind if you're in the area and want to meet a friend for lunch or a catch up cuppa.
