WELCOME TO THE SOUTHSEA DELI

Serving Southsea with the best of the south coast and beyond

We are proud to be the only independent classic delicatessen in the heart of Southsea.

We source food and drink from small producers across Hampshire, Sussex, Dorset and Somerset, going a little further only when we need to. For items not available in the UK, we are working with some friends of ours to bring in special products from Italy, Spain and Greece. We cook and prepare fresh food every single day, to give you choice of healthy and delicious food, using the best of what's in season. 

About the Deli

The shop was set up in 2018 by mother and son team Gillian and Daniel. In 2020 the shop re-located to larger premises on Elm Grove, Southsea. Daniel has trained in food quality, and has spent ten years working in Jamie Oliver HQ, from where he has travelled the world researching food ethical issues, animal welfare and sustainability.

The idea behind the deli was to bring independently and ethically produced food to the people of Southsea, and as an alternative to shopping in the big chains. We aim to champion seasonal food, and cater to the needs of our community. We are primarily a food store with a small amount of seating, but also host events & food workshops, provide outside catering and host the occasional supper club. You will also find our sandwiches, cakes and coffee served from our deli truck at Eastney Beach.
