We have Simon Dougan to thank for this gem in Portadown. You can buy his bread and scones all over Northern Ireland, but if you’re in town, don’t miss a visit to the deli to try some of the vast range of fresh food prepared on site. It’s a real community café with customers coming from all arts and parts.

The décor is so cute. We love the lamps made from teacups and saucers and the boards telling you about seasonal produce.

Naturally the artisan breads make great sandwiches. They smoke and cure their own meat, fish and game. Last time we were there we pigged out on Tuscan bean stew and mojito cheesecake , but there’s no point telling you to have that since their menu changes daily.

Top marks too, for growing their own herbs, soft fruits, salad leaves and vegetables. Almost everything else comes from local suppliers.

And we guarantee you’ll leave with at least one loaf and a jar of something yummy from the shelves.
