A new deli in Ancoats has opened its doors, with shelves stuffed with wine, cheeses, meats, and essentials (… though all of those things are essentials in our book).
Ancoats Deli is tucked away in the heart of the neighbourhood, on a quiet street behind the Royal Mills building.
The pretty green venue is serving up grab-and-go treats like focaccia sandwiches, salads and even takeout cheese and meat boxes to come soon.
The bread used in these impressive butties comes from much-loved bakery Companio, with fillings including the classic Jambon Beurre with or without mustard, Reuben with pastrami, and an Egg Sandwich of soft boiled eggs, jammy yolks, Dijonnaise and watercress.
It’s a bit of a hidden sun trap too, and there are bistro tables outside where you can sit and nurse a spritz, a glass of wine or a coffee.
They’ll be crafting cheese and charcuterie boards too, with produce sourced from The Crafty Cheeseman and Yapp Bros. Boards will start from £16 and glasses of wine from just £5.20.
Ancoats Deli will also have a stocked pantry of essentials, where you can pick up milk, eggs, dinner ingredients and a bottle of wine to takeaway.
The best bit though? The venue’s meal deal, where you can get a sandwich, coffee or a soft drink, plus crisps or a serving of olives for £10.
Co-founder India Morris said: “Lunch time in Ancoats can often be a little tricky, it’s a foodie destination packed full of amazing restaurants and bars, but we felt there was a gap for somewhere to pick up a really good, affordable sandwich or salad.
“We don’t want it to be fancy, we want Ancoats Deli to provide a place where residents and those working locally, can pick up a tasty sarnie deal, without breaking the bank.
“Our evening offering reflects the same idea. We have spent countless hours listening to our friends talk about wanting charcuterie or snacks with their post work or Saturday afternoon drinks, so we decided to do it.
“Our wines are great, but affordable and our cocktail menus are simple and accessible. We wanted to create a space where everyone can come, feel comfortable and just have a lovely time with a pint. Fingers crossed the sunshine stays long enough.”
You’ll find Ancoats Deli just off Murray Street, in between Redhill Street and Jersey Street.
