Fast food? Nope. Not here! This is, as the name suggests, a food retailer for those who want to eat FOOD, not synthi-fod. But it's also more than that...
This is a cafe too, where you can pop in, browse the pure wonders of culinary delight lining the shelves, and have some wonderful lunch as well. Grab a Baguette with ham, cheese, lettuce and a delightfully tasty home-made chutney, made by the talented Christine.
You will find Simon to be a wealth of gourmet information, and also the local contact for The Slow Food group, a collection of people who appreciate food that takes time and care to prepare. For these folks, fast food isn't food. And that is a sentiment I whole-heartedly agree with.
With a monthly newsletter, a huge range of services and information available, and a fairly regular series of special nights (such as wine, beer, cheese and specialty meat tastings, cooking lessons, special guests, etc), it is well worth joining the Gourmet's Pantry mailing list too. You can choose either hardcopy or email (Hardcopy carries a small and quite justifiable cost) versions.
Overall, highly impressed, and these good folks have brought me a new and much appreciated understanding of the wonders of home cooked food, made with real ingredients, care and attention, and love.
