Mortimer and Bennett are often listed by chefs such as Nigella Lawson and Sophie Grigson as the best deli in London. This little shop is like the Aladdin’s Cave to anyone who is remotely “foodie”. Gorgeous plump olives and tasty legs of ham adorn the counter along with an exciting array of cheeses and fresh breads. This was the only shop I could find that sold Marron Glace, which puts it at the top of my league.

If you are cooking a romantic dinner or wanting to have a canapes selection for a dinner party, this is the place to start. It is pricey, but you are paying for top class quality produce.
You will find it difficult to find a deli in London to top this one.

Mortimer & Bennett are in my opinion the best food shop in London. They always have very varied but always delicious food from all over the world. They are always knowledgeable in regard to their products and are happy to recommend new tasty foods to try and they usually advise how to cook the foods you buy and what to eat them with. The only downside to the shop is that it is very cramped & usually very busy - sometimes with people waiting outside to go in. This can only be a good sign!

This is one of the best delis in London. Cheeses are from both Neals Yard and a decent French supplier, and the olives are good, as are the cold meats. For a small, cramped shop there is an excellent selection of items e.g. Jabugo ham, OO flour. Breads are from Sally Clarke. Service is friendly

Good quality deli in the heart of Chiswick - sits in the same stretch that also boasts a local fishmonger, greengrocers & butcher - not often you see that anymore in London. Stocks a variety of high quality deli produce in startling variety, e.g. nearly 100 different types of cheese. They also have some "exclusives" e.g. sole UK importer for La Maison du Miel honey from France.

Teeming with lots of organic & indepedently sourced items, prices are high but you don't feel you're being asked to pay a needless premium.
