The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

With deli goods and takeaway sandwiches to the front, and 24 covers of eclectic furniture to the rear, Broughton Deli does not concern itself with vanities. The international menu has a surprising mixture of platters, burgers and noodles available all day. The chicken flatbread, with its earthy home-made hummus and piquant harissa yoghurt, is a particular standout. The brunch selection is popular and successful, encompassing sweet and savoury in the form of banana pancakes, fry-ups and crepes. The winning touch to this well-formed café is the ever-changing menu, particularly cake specials (the ginger and plum is especially good). Your childhood memories will come flooding back with a big slice of layered sponge.

Our local awesome deli.

The sandwiches are some of the tastiest I have ever eaten and the cakes, scones, etc are delicious. I must have had my best ever bacon roll from here.

They claim to have some opening hours (till 7:30pm) but as far as I can tell it seems to be bit random (sometimes open earlier, sometimes stay open late - always open between 11am and 5pm though!). I wish they opened earlier so I could get my weekend brekkies/brunches from there...

3. Iain_Glyn – 10 Jul 2011, 5:30pm Broughton Delicatessen Report: Delicious and imaginative food at competitive prices; salads change daily and always reflect a thoughtful approach.
Cakes are truly awesome. Staff friendly and welcoming.

1. JackCosmy – 22 Jul 2010, 7:42pm Broughton Delicatessen Report

Nice and stylish environment, for a coffee or a light bite!

They have a good selection of high-quality teas (and we are Tea nerds...), sandwitches and sweets. We had a dark chocolate crepes, which was very good.

Low point: the staff wasn't as polite as you'd expect from a tiny sweet place.

Average rating 4.5/5 from 4 reviews of Broughton Delicatessen.
